Very nice work Waterboy, it is coming along great. The ivy and foliage really are believable, I can imagine that soldier having a nap beside the bridge amongst the brush. Excellent work!

very nice work, have you considered putting a moss type growth on the bridge. i think you'd find it there especially near water.

Great work my friend. I really like the ivy. Are you going to leave the grass as is or are you going to color it a bit more. It would look good with some additional greens in it.

Great work my friend. I really like the ivy. Are you going to leave the grass as is or are you going to color it a bit more. It would look good with some additinal greens in it.
This is my nit-pick as well. The bushes and ivy look so bright and alive and the grass looks so flat and dry. Although colour variation is excellent, this looks to be a bit much.
Maybe some earth colours alongside the water as well would define it a bit better. Its unlikely that the grass will grow where water is constantly running.
Otherwise this is turning out to be a fine dio, and something that little bit different which is nice. Those figures are looking neat also. Looking forward to seeing it progress.
