Tree Trials: 8 Unique Ways to Build a LEGO Palm Tree
Over the years I’ve spent as a LEGO builder I’ve built many a tree… some beautiful, some passable, and some – let’s face it – terrible. Eschewing the latter, today we’ll focus on a specific type of tree and the different techniques I’ve developed for it (taking inspiration, of course, from other builders): Palm Trees!

Disaster Strikes
Not all builds are meant to be carried downstairs and outside…
Thankfully this was on the return voyage.

My Own Pet Flim
I got up one day
I got up, I say.
I stood on my head,
Looked under the bed.
I saw a dust bunny,
And a piece of money,
I saw a crooked pin,
And –oh! – a yellow fin!
I got to my feet,
Looking very sweet.
“Come on, little one,
Come out, let’s have fun!”
He wriggled.
He sniggered.
He sniffled.
He giggled.
Flame
Close on the heels of Zap comes another dragon, this one sporting a red and brown color-scheme with singed black wings!
Zap
Roarrrrrrr! Better not get on this beast’s bad side, because he has some claws! Zap, my second attempt at a dragon, features extensive poseability, a wingspan well over 1′, and a rider’s seat decked out with a personalized flag!
Contra Oleon – A Jungle Big Enough for Two!
One of the most enjoyable aspects of the LEGO hobby is the opportunities it offers for collaborating with other builders – and few collaborations are more rewarding than those that can be placed side by side, especially if the builders are able to work together and ensure a perfect fit! A few months ago, my brother and I found ourselves in the mood for some jungle… so enter one of our biggest builds yet: Contra Oleon!
The build depicts a fight between Oleon – blue coats – and Eslandola – green coats. Or actually, it’s more of a surprise take over than a fight. You can read the full story here and here – right now, we’re going to focus on the build!

Eslandola Hall
Have a bit of time on your hands? Try Eslandola Hall, a regally columned gallery perfect for a friendly discussion, a leisurely date, artistic meditation, or, if you’re an eccentric Sea Captain, for a good-humored clash or two.
