Here's my most recent build, an Unrestricted entry to GC XII. It's a beast, packing a full Power Functions battery case and lighting inside the house, with on/off switch accessible through a slide-out panel in the back wall. That panel is also built to blend right in with the rest of the wall, so as not to affect the look of the house from the back side. The house itself is very sturdy, and most of the walls are several studs thick. There's an internal truss as well that supports the overhanging area and connects it to the far wall. I have no idea how many total bricks are involved here, but I'll put it to you this way: the roof alone involves about 2,000 pieces, each black-trunked tree involves about 300 parts, and the ground across the front half of the MOC is built completely from 1x2 and 1x1 bricks. That's right, besides the pond, there are 0 plates involved in ground in the entire front half of this build. I've had a couple of requests for roof and tree tutorials, so I'll post those as soon as I can. The roof is really based on Luke Watkins' design in his "Where the Wild Things Are," but altered to remove the seams between net sections and to accommodate a window cutout. Also, if you're sharp-eyed enough, you can spot: A fishing rod A flesh-colored head 4 rotten bananas 2 Series 12 Huns' cloaks A small train wheel 8 assemblies that use minifig hands 14 nets A mischievous cat

I love the trees and the curved part of the building. Amazing job!

Wow, it's a build complete with its own scavenger hunt! Seriously though, the techniques and use of parts here are just next-level.

Organic is a good way of putting it.
After much studying I think I've worked out how it's done as well. Might have to get me some nets one of these days!!
