桜盆栽 (Sakura Bonsai) - a photo on Flickriver

Hi everybody, its been a while!

After more than a year of inactivity, I am happy to finally share a new model with you: a Cherry-Blossom Bonsai!

Over the course of the last year, I have been building a few projects but non really came together. There was always a lack of time or I was dissatisfied with the progress so I did not finish most of them. This is one of the reasons I haven't shared any new builds last year.

But the release of the new Botanical Collection from LEGO® got me really excited about building again. It inspired me to, for once, not build anything that needs to match an original reference but instead build something that should just be beautiful. And when Brickset started the Build a Bonsai, I took it up as a challenge to build it within this month.

As this is a competition entry it is of course build solely from original LEGO® bricks. I did not even cut any flex-tube, which is rare for me. Even though Cherry-Blossom Trees are one of my favourite trees, I was reluctant to build one at first, as I had already built multiple in the past. Therefore I tried to make this one as different from my previous trees as possible, with a more distinct treetop.

I also want to take this opportunity to thank all of you who purchased my instructions, reached out to me or left heart-felt comments in the past year, even though I did not upload any new builds. It is incredibly encouraging to see that you enjoy the builds and are inspired by them! Thanks!

I hope you like the newest addition!
