Making progress with the groundwork. Using a product I've not used before and not seen mentioned. More later about this in the feature I'm doing. I've begun to put some Mig pigments (European Dust) in the cobble and edges of the groundwork. I've also put a small tree on the reverse side of the bridge which unfortunately can't be seen in these pics. Any comments welcome.

That path really is stunning. I love the tone of the individual rocks. The grass is nicely done.

The darker part of the mud patch seems (in this photo) to be a bit glossy? Not sure if its intentional or not. It's early so this is more a heads up question kinda thing.

This diorama is going to be stunning.

I would tone down the grasscolor abit, but that's the only thing I can come up with and.... that is only my personal taste too. Excellent scene !!!

Looks like you have a great start to your dio, I like the attention you have given to the stones. The only suggestion I would give is possibly a little more highlighting on the stones, could be the photo's hard to tell. I do see some, so it might very well be there. Keep up the good work. Grass looks good, but I think the edges are abrupt next to the road, I think there would be a little more wear and tear on the edges next to the road. Just my opinion. The rocks on the slope are excellent, the way they are buried in the ground with just the face showing good eye! Is the muddy area at the base really reddish in color or is that the photo, I just noticed that, I think the mud would be darker if it was meant to be wet. Again could just be the photo.

Bravo! Such well planned work -especially the embankment... perhaps a little "trash and garbage" to give it a human touch!

Again - quite well done....
