Oh now, that is nice.

PS. I might steal that, but with foam bricks and for 1:72 Romans.

Might I suggest a subtle drybrush on the timber to bring out the detail a bit more?

It's something I've been considering but it does look better in real life, the pictures washed the detail out. It might wait till it randomly annoys me and I have another attempt at it.

Feel free, I was making the design up as I went along.  :D

To be fair it probably looks better now than it will after I paint it :D

The dark stone with a little moss and weeds is very effective.  Looks good to me.   :)

Nice work mate - looks good painted.

I’d echo the suggestion of a light dry brush to bring out the texture, but the main thing is that you are happy with it

 :)
