That´s what came to my mind also!

A very beautyful scene. I like the small step in the landscape. It adds to the realism and looks perfect!
I´d love to see more Antonio...

Cheers

Amazing job, Antonio! I know you say it's later winter, but I must confess my first thought was perhaps it looked like autumn...

Hello Antonio,

Great work man!
A dynamic little scene full of life!
What did you use for the down-groiwing vegetation next to the road?
I'm looking forward to see the total picture including the vehicle.

Best regards!

Thanks for your comments and sorry for my late reply
The used materials are mostly natural. The tree is a box branch supplemented with finer branches, which are wire bits glued, and the famous birch seeds as leaves glued one by one. The roots are just tiny pieces of branches, and the dried herb is "see foam" (?, a sort of alga found in beaches, like a ball of yarn).
The green bits are artificial: Kamizukuri laser cut paper leaves, mininatur leaves and other railway stuff I can't remember the name, everything painted in suitable (not bright) greens. I think the trick is to be very patient and lay all the elements almost one by one.
