For only your second diorama, your figure painting is very good, especially the faces. This is turning out to be a very good, nice groundwork. Can't wait to see it finished.

Really nice dio Petros! Got that cold feeling and the earth showing through, where the traffic is heaviest, is a nice touch. Keep them coming!!

I really like the winter feeling you were able to put in there.
Well done
