Every year at Christmas time we have a small table that my son uses for his Advent Calendar and other Lego Christmas decorations. He has a couple of older Santas and and Angel I built as a child. This year I am wanting to surprise him with a little bit larger layout. I have the idea concept in my head and sketched out somewhat. Everything is a no brainer except the Christmas tree. I am wanting a tree that is 6-8" in height. I cannot find any fan build instructions for a good tree anywhere. Does anyone here have any plans or ways I can build the tree I desire? Thanks in advance.

This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but last night my wife and I built the Christmas tree from the Winter Village Toy Shop set. We were very pleased with how nice it looks. You can read the instructions for the set here: http://brickset.com/detail/?set=10199-1

This may help if you just follow the directions for the tree portion of the build. I don't have it with me, but it is close to 6" or so in height.

hi Brandon Miller,

this isn't exactly a Christmas tree but the structure might allow you to build a tree as tall as you'd like and adapt it as per your needs:

I've built one myself and it is almost as big as a modular building:

Hope it helps

I built the tree from the Winter Toy Shop, and then continued it to make it twice as tall. I used LDD to design the lower portion. Here you can see most of the tree, unfortunately I do not seem to have a good picture of the entire thing, but the top half is the tree form the Winter Toy Shop. If you'd like, I can email you the LDD file for the additional sections of the Winter Toy Shop Tree.

Could you send me that file please?

Then you should get the instructions for the set where you'll find the tree.

Here's a link to the instructions

Thanks to both of you but legoboy has an LDD file of a bigger tree he did. That's what I was referring to.

Here is the LDD file for my Christmas tree extension (it may take a day for it to work because I just uploaded it to Brickshelf). You will still need to build the Christmas tree from the Winter Toy Shop to put on top, and add a longer technic axel to hold it all together. I used the tree stand from the original tree as the base. If you have any questions, let me know.
