Mainly so I could figure out their size, quantity, and placement in the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/2-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After building those first two trees, I decided four trees would fill the scene nicely. Next I laid out the orchard&#8217;s terraces. Here the bley 1&#215;2 bricks mark where stone retaining walls would be placed at each elevation change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/3-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After that it was easy to lay down dark tan plates, and start adding dark green over that. I left some exposed patches of dark tan where I planned to place the trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/4-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally I would use a filler color besides black behind the stone walls, but I was using 1&#215;1 round plates as part of the texture and wanted to make sure no glimpses of out of place colors leaked through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/5-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The middle terrace was not going to have any trees, so no large sections of dark tan were left exposed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/6-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Builds of this size make it easier to work with newer colors like dark green and dark tan since not as many parts are needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/7-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Then since I had already built two trees I just had to attach those to the landscape, and then make the back two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/8-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And see how many apples I could find for use in the trees! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/9-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"480\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally I added a few plants, some animals, and the figs. This stage is a lot of fun as you get to experiment with various details to flesh out the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/?p=11603\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.brickbuilt.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/overview.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"481\"\/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for reading!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This was the first build of my apple cider production entry into the CCC, and like many of our models it started with a simple base made of plates.
