Costas,

Nice work, and again an abosolutely stunning base. Except the Celtic cross. They where not made of iron but from stone.
So, i think you have to change the color.
(i know, i did the same cross with the Irish knight, and i redo it into a stone colour).

Costas,my friend,that's one AWESOME vignette that you've created there !!!! May I know how you created the "trees" around the cross (an inspired touch,by the way !) ? All in all, a worthy showcase of your talents. WELL DONE !!!
Kenneth.

Hi guys and thanks for your comments. I really appreciate them

The cross is stone made but stone after many years of exposing in sun and wind and rain comes toget a color more grayish and cold despite the possibly warmest earth tones of its first appearence . That was in mymind.

For the tree trunks i used specific already twisted parts of branches of a local bush that groews here called "thymari" and comes pretty close to oregano .
I just cut themin the desired ancles and parts and "plant" them .

Costas,

You can wait for it, but i disagree with you.
Check this site for information.

I hope you can take your advantages with it.
Further, your groundwork is still stunning work.
