4-5 large "bushy" trees, but I'm struggling to find inspiration online.
Most of the the trunks I'm seeing are built from square bricks/slopes and
they just don't look right.
The Rivendell set looks like it has some really interesting ones but they need
about 8x the amount of leaves and 2x broader foliage. I know we can't post
links but are there any obvious ones in the lego realm I'm not seeing?

Honestly for trees, I build based on what I've hoarded over the years or
what I can find cheap. Foliage has always been a premium, and its one of the
few parts I don't sell very much of because I save most of them. I have a
few in my store only to have variety.
I've literally bought bulk lots just to pick out the tree parts and then
resell the rest as bulk again.
I'd get parts first then think about how to use them, personally.

These look great, I think the one to the right of the red tree in the back is
what I'm going for. The (real life) trees there are Chestnut trees, so the
branches are relatively low and spread out very wide at the bottom. In LEGOese,
I think the biggest one would be 30 bricks tall (just above the roofline of Assembly
Square) and about ~24 studs in diameter.
As much as I would prefer a rounded truck I think to support that many leaves
it's going to have to have a larger more angular base. Where I'm struggling
is how to to get branches to extend 10 studs off the trunk.

Wow! Stunning recreation of the various tree species! No idea who the artist
is (art it is, imho) but they are beautiful! Such a level of impression of life
and the living with mere LEGO, always moves me. Brings to mind, Miro's
talent with living subjects.
While being perhaps overly impressed is no doubt because it's so far beyond
my own abilities, the capacity to move others with your work, goes straight to
the innate portion of talent. The nature of the individual, as I see it.

Yes, "less interesting" was perhaps an unfair characterization. I should
say, the more monotonic livery!
Strange as it seems, this was the set I had in mind, hence the longing for a
trans-green canpoy.

haha ok, I'll give you the 'monochrome' part...but it was the early
80's, there weren't a lot of colors then!
I forgot they did slopes, bricks, and panels in the trans-green in the series,
but the windscreens then were the more square looking 4474 6x4x2 like on the
Blacktron Invader. Anything like you're looking for didn't appear until
Space Police II, so that's more what I was getting at.

| Yeah, it slipped my mind they did some of the smaller windscreens in the trans-green
for later sets. Still wasn't until Space Police II that they came in the
10x4x2 needed here, though.

I'm currently working on a redux version of the mobile lab; I just can't
seem to come up with a nice update for the wheels.

The Classic Space one pretty much nails the scheme, and the Blacktron I version
is great, as well!
I second the Ice Planet idea, and will also say Space Police I and Blacktron
II would be great for it, as well.
Definitely given me ideas!

 Though most of the early sets had the trans-yellow or trans-blue pieces; it
wasn't until Futuron (I think) when they went with the trans-green.

Before Futuron:
There already was White+Black+Trans-Blue sets before this one.
This set mixed both the Blue+LG+Trans-Yellow and White+Black+Trans-Blue schemes:

As for suggestions on the green canopy, they did make
that could work, though you'd have to change the connect point...

Have to agree with the consensus, the Blacktron version is amazing. Takes me
back to my youth as I had the 6894-Invader set and a few others. Nice work.

Ice Planet maybe?

 That's one! I think I have a
somewhere to get me started.
The gray ship in my original post is suppossed to be a nod to the less interesting
classic space livery of gray with hints of red (wheel hubs) and trans-green windows.
I know it's a long shot, but my fingers are crossed that LEGO may some day
produce a
in trans-green that I can use on that ship.
