Ten years ago, a young Denil Oh won a Star Wars building competition at Legoland Malaysia that cemented a lifelong passion for building. Last month, Denil received a second honor when his bonsai creation was chosen to join the LEGO-hosted Botanicals exposition at Kuala Lumpur’s Pavilion mall. The builder fuses bonsai with a minifig vignette, adding a bridge, torii gate, and shrine to the ornate round pot. The grey and pink color combination makes for a pleasing tree. Look closely and you’ll see a clever technique for the flowers – they’re still on their sprues! Sprues also appear as vines around the trunk. Congratulations, Denil, on having your work celebrated again!
