Element Experimentation: Flower in a Barrel
Another take on a flower in a barrel. This time utilising the new leaf, which I find extremely useful 🙂
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 🙂 It’s pretty cheap, and can often be found in Pick-a-Brick walls. So this is a technique that hopefully anyone can afford 🙂 The drawback, of course, is the quality. There…
Element Experimentation: Puppy Flower
Got a number of these puppys from a box last year, and though my daughter loves to use them I’ve never really found any use for them. But gotta try something new once in a while 🙂
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…
Element Experimentation: Flower in a Barrel
A flower in a half-barrel. Managed to put together a small build amidst holidays and family time 🙂 The focus was to get natural looking leaves looking as if they were growing from the base of the flower stem.
Element Experimentation: Cattle Horn Grass
Yet another grass technique. Have used this technique before, but wanted to try to make it even more dense, and this is the result. Again, quite an expensive technique as green cattle horns aren’t the cheapest. I also wanted to see if this could be made to look like short grass, but even with a…
Element Experimentation: Carrot Top Grass
Another grass technique. This time made from Bright Green carrot tops. It has pretty good coverage, and it’s pretty cheap if built with flick missiles which cost next to nothing. Carrot tops are also not as expensive as many other grass parts. The look leaves some to be desired though, as I feel it has…
Element Experimentation: Christmas Wreath
‘Tis the season! At least, that’s what my kids tell me 😉 Not sure how much longer I can hold off on putting up all the Christmas decor 😀 I don’t think I’ve ever used LEGO rubber bands for a MOC, but it works pretty nicely for the Christmas wreath here 🙂
Element Experimentation: Cherry Blossom
A microscale cherry blossom. The street outside our house is lined with these, so every Spring we get to enjoy an overdose of beautiful white flowers 🙂 A rather simple build as Autumn break is upon us, and lego time is limited 😉 From what I’ve seen 3742c01 – Plant Flower Small, 4 on Sprue…
Element Experimentation: Winter Landscape
As the fireworks of autumn fizzles out the majestic serenity of the winter wonderland promptly replaces it. But actually, there’s about two months’ worth of cold, grey and dreary darkness in between, but let’s skip that this year 🙂 Just like my autumn build this is all about the trees, made from 13564 – Cattle…
