Mediterranean highland forest on rocky ground

This is my modular diorama in Schleich scale. I used rocks I made and some sand for pet birds, grass plates, a few trees, dewberry bushes and a dog rose bush with some flowers and lot of hips. Then I added a jay, a falcon, a turtle, a rabbit, a family of deer and a few wild boars.

Thanks a lot, Christophe . I told you I was going to make a diorama that was inspired by releasing roe deers into the Petit Luberon forest. Luberon wild boars made this roe deer recovery action very difficult for ecologists.
And about the turtle I disagree . I think it is very beautiful and conspicuous

Thank you Bonnie. I bought the trees at a Chinese shopping mall. But they did not accept cards , only cash. So, I bought only 6 trees, cut them, processed with a soldering iron, glued and painted - and made a small forest. I went later with cash to buy more, but they no longer had such trees.
Originally, these trees are in the shape of bonsai, with a poor canopy shape and arrangement of branches. I had to change the length and shape of the tree and the number of branches. In contrast, the original leaves were already phenomenal . If I ever find the same trees again, I will definitely photograph it before processing to see it in the original.

That’s a fantastic work and I love the subject. Thanks for letting us know the wonderful things that can be made with our toys and a lot of talent and dedication.

They really are wonderful trees, and you have made them look even more realistic! I'll have to keep a look out for something like them, they are beautiful!

Well, that's a really tough question right now . I used to know for sure, and now I can barely remember . The bunny was originally white with pink ears and a yellowish throat . Here I found a picture on the internet!!! It is from ‚‚Mini Farm Animals Figurine18 Assorted Styles Relastic Toys - NAYAB STORE‚‚

You can’t play the game, you already knew where was this beautiful but shy turtle

Thanks for the big compliments! Also Thank you so much for seeing the Herman turtle (some members even complained that the turtle can't be easily seen! )
Bonnie also asked about the trees so I gave her a detailed answer. I really have never found better trees to make forests in the scale of 1:20, 1:32 and 1:48.

Thanks Roger, that means a lot to me.

Are the birds homemade?? If not, what is the brand????

Another fantastic diorama! And that jay in the tree is sooo beautiful, I want one

The birds are both branded. The falcon is original, pet bird of Sheriff of Nottingham (BBC Robin Hood Action figures, 2008).
I did not change that figure. The other bird was originally Chap Mei, blue-red pet parrot of Dr. Harry Gage. I have several such birds, so I cut off the tail, crest and beak of this one. I made a new beak and tail and painted it to be a Eurasian jay.

Thank you. Good work. I have never heard before of these figures. Very interesting. Do you have any more pics, also of other figures?

This is absolutely beautiful, stunning work!

Wow, just amazing!

I don’t have many other photos at the moment. But I think it might be convenient to add pictures of some more details

You can see the transformation of the parrot into a jay. Now everyone can see the turtle nicely, from both sides!
