Green antlers for leaves. Grey trunk potted in a tire. It’s LEGO Bonsai.
Isaiah Kepner has always been a strong LEGO arborist, finding new ways to create bark, branch, and foliage from interesting parts. After a busy 2024, the builder has been on a MOC hiatus, but Isaiah found time to get back to his roots with a fabulous bonsai pine. This tree uses almost exclusively green antlers for the leaves, inspired by this tree by Ryan McBride. The greebley tree is full of fun (and often illegal!) connections. It reminds me a of Niina L’s greeble tree. Using an inverted tire for the pot adds a nice contrast to the hard angles in the tree trunk.
If you’re interested in experimenting with green antlers in your tree builds, Isaiah shares a tutorial here. I also shared my experiments with the leaves earlier this year.
