Nice Parts Usage
I think techniques don't count here, it's the originality.

But I know some techniques, I'll try to share them as fast as I can.

True, I hadn't thought of it like that.

So, any NPU's you would like to share? (Anyone, not just you Magma.)

I know one, get a 1x1 lego piece with two studs on two of the four sides, get a 2x1 lego brick with a technic hole in it and put the stud part in the hole, strengthening any SNOT techniques.

I think for this MOC the NPU involves getting a shape the was esthetically pleasing. I wanted to create the shape of a tree and that meant limiting 90 angles. I was limited on brown parts so I incorporated Duplo blocks to fill in the middle and used contours to create the trunk. The rest involved filling in the branches so when leaves and snow were incorporated it would maintain a rounded shape from all angles. I knew I didn't have enough "realistic" foliage so I was going for an impressionistic feel. http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/287244 any questions or comments are welcomed.
