The Christmas Tree Challenge

Seasons greetings!

Ok. So today I got a last-minute urge to go and stick some sort of christmas decoration in my base. I decided to try to make a xmas tree.

After wasting 2 hours stacking 400 shoji wall lamps, for the purpose of floating another 50 or so whiteboards, in order to then float some baubels on the tree (round lights), I then discovered that the whiteboards wouldn't let me stick anything on them.

Several dc's and another hour deleting the lamps later... I then found some great info here in the forums. That is, stack the floor tile, on top of the accent lamp, and use the Cubicle for stacking wall items. This worked wonderfully, this last method took me less than 30 mins to do.

Anyhow, after much lag and effort, I produced a humble little tree for my base. I wanted to put presents under it, but couldn't find any cube shapes small or suitable enough for it. So I resorted to placing a bunch of sacks in front of the tree (sacks with presents in them!). Heh.

Anyhow, I thought "HEY! You should post this and challenge other base builders to see what wondrous Christmas trees they could create".
I always love the variety of stuff that the base builders creates.

So here is the challenge!
See if you can make a christmas tree in your base, and post some pics of the end result. Or any other christmas decorations you can come up with.

Merry Xmas Folks! :-)

Very nice designs! CaffeineAddict, what option(s) did you use for the tree itself?

The trees are looking good, but Sayaki made the most amazing fireplace.

Hah, necropost!

I'm wondering now why the OP used Shoji lamps, when at that time you could already use the cubicle/floor tile trick to move wall items around.

It looks to me like the architect built out a section on the wall with arcane platforms (I forget the exact name), and then proceeded to "bury" the little bushy plant into the built up section to the point that the pot was concealed. I think the red is possibly the red bottles.

Here's a small tree I did last year. I'll probably do the same thing this year.

That's more or less how I did it. What you dun generally notice are the invention tables or the personal salvage storage I have on that thing.

However, what I really liked making most in that room was the chandeliers. Those took effort to get right.

The entire room was done as a Christmas present. I made it special as I could. If you want to see it better, I do base tours on that place regularly, and have a slide show of it in my sig for this post.

Here is my attempt. I decided to go with arcane crystals and not plants. I couldn't find a star anywhere, so I went with a spinning dismembered head instead .
