Very nice! Great to see a proper large tree in Lego.
While I wait eagerly for the construction details, would you give some idea of
the numbers of green leaf parts and the parts you used for trunk/branches? It
looks like black 1x3 plates are good for side branches. Once I know the best
parts to use, I'll have a go, as I need to build some large trees for my railway
layouts.
