Any advice ?

Yep, all above and maybe some greens stppled on at the bottom in some areas for moss. It is a neat bridge btw! Do you have any construction pics?

Hi , thanx for comments, here's two "in progress" pictures , base construction of bridge is made from cardboard paper and stones are made from modeling clay , then placed with white glue in position. Primed with grey car primer, and then painted with eberhardfaber granite paint. This paint has fine sand in it so gives rough surface after dried. Any tips on washes ? I'm not sure how to correctly do that, what color to use and with what to thin them and in what ratio.

Cheers

With wife and kids out of homefor all day I manage to do some work with sas dio. Here's a rough plan to continue with: dried river under bridge, river banks with some trees and grass / shrubs.
Question is how to position a bridge: like on pictures, where on the other side of bridge is no banks (just border of diorama) or center the bridge and place trees on both sides of bridge (on all banks)
If first then I could cut of the base trough the line showing on first pics so dio base would be irregular (rhombus- diamond shaped). If second: dio base would remain square.

Opinions ?

Cheers
Robert

Very good job with the stones of the bridge.
I personally quedaria with the diamond-shaped, it would be more original
