Slope Tree Tutorial – Part I: Trunk

This is the first tutorial out of two showcasing the techniques used to build my Slope Tree. In this we will cover how to make the trunk and then the tree foliage technique will be covered in the next tutorial. The two techniques can be used together or standalone, and either can easily be replaced…

Self-contained Flower

A small, self-contained and easy to make flower. Came up with this design a while ago, and though it’s rather simple I’ve found that it can be quite useful in many different situations, either as a standalone in a well-maintained garden, or a few of these bunched together more haphazardly in a bigger nature scene.…

4K

Built this as a milestone build for my Instagram account. Was just going to make something simple, but I got carried away with it as it was a lot of fun to build ๐Ÿ™‚

Slope Tree

Built another of these as part of making a tutorial for it ๐Ÿ™‚ I developed the foliage for this quite a while ago, but the trunk is different, and I thought it’d be interesting to cover a new type of trunk in the tutorial. The tutorial itself is still in progress but should be out…

Element Experimentation: Bamboo Grass

I know most of my techniques come with some serious investment requirements, but not so today! Because all you actually need is just bamboo ๐Ÿ™‚ It’s pretty cheap, and can often be found in Pick-a-Brick walls. So this is a technique that hopefully anyone can afford ๐Ÿ™‚ The drawback, of course, is the quality. There…

Element Experimentation: Leafy Underbrush

An attempt to get a bit of a wilder look from the plume feathers, by utilising the 6 pronged plant piece. At this point it hardly qualifies as grass anymore and is more of a heavy underbrush in a light forest. This could probably also be used to represent bushes like rhododendron or similar if…

Travis Tree Tutorial

A tutorial showing how to make a tree made mostly out of travis bricks and 1×1 plates in your colour of choice (I went with dark green). It’s quite simple but still has a rather organic shape to it. There is a bit of a pattern in it, but this can be fixed by alternating…

Green Travis Tree

Put some colour on my travis tree, to see if it could become something more useful. Not so sure about the result actually, but it could probably fit in with other micro trees in a forest or something ๐Ÿ™‚
