A beautiful build from start to finish! Your painting of the red is just outstanding! All of the added details are superb. Like Bud said, a Best of Show Model!

Brilliant little diorama, Xan! The mud is very convincing and the
figure adds just the right amount of realism.  Absolutely amazing
work and something to be proud of, my friend.  Well done!!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

That is a really stunning model and mini diorama. As others have commented the staining is simply wonderful. The background is also something to be really proud of.
