Wow! Now that's a crazy way to build a hill, one that I've never seen before as well. The shape is a little bit odd, maybe, but for a new technique it looks great!

I think your hill works pretty well, definitely something new. Cool figs too :D

That is a nice way to achieve a big slope, great job!
You would rather be building right now.

Neat design, clever idea, and you already know of my criticisms.

I like this design for a hill. It works pretty well, IMO. I'd love to give it a try, but I don't have nearly enough pieces! Good job on this. C:

It's an interesting hill design, as others have said. I do have one question though, but perhaps it's a bit obvious. Isn't it a bit intensive in how it uses the typical Lego foliage piece? Those are rare enough to me that I'd rather save them for other plants, but to achieve a "swampy" or "thick" vegetative look, I think you've hit on something.

Another round of thank you-s incoming!
Tycho: It indeed uses quite an amount of those, but this particular example was achieved with only 1-2 layers of leaves all around, so I believe it's still possible on a larger scale.

Are the leaves connected to anything?

Inner layer is connected via round studs or themselves to the underlaying plates. Outer layer is connected to the inner one.
