TOWN SQUARE TREE, FOUNTAIN and BLEACHERS
Above: As part of the Holiday Town display, we intend to include public spaces such as a park. This example showcases a large tree sculpture, which would likely be "decorated" for the holidays. This sample is built on two baseplates; the tree and grassy area with the black benches is on a 32x32 peg plate and the bleachers/grandstand with fountain and planter is on a 16x32 peg baseplate.
More HOLIDAY TOWN Ideas
This posting features shots of a Public Park with a large Tree and viewing Grandstand. Other notable items are the "fountain", the old-fashioned style lamppost and the cool black park benches.
Below: Here we see a close-up of the fountain, which utilizes aqua caps to simulate water. Just FYI: there are more than 200 caps used here!
Above: Another vantage point of the park area. Right now we're not sure what all the minifigures are staring at, since no one is on the small stage and not much is happening elsewhere yet! It does seem like a pleasant place to enjoy a latte. Where is the Java House?
Below: Close-up shows the minifigures seated in the "bleachers". The bleachers were created with pre-formed seat pieces set on top of a brick base. A planter is situated behind the beachers and filled with red and white flowers.
Above: Another view of the TOWN SQUARE TREE and FOUNTAIN sculpture. The tree is elevated off the baseplate 2 bricks in height, and on this side we see a gray "retaining wall", topped off by smooth white tiles.
