Nice and recognizable build.

Clever use of parts for the smoke and claw pieces for the rock work.

Thanks for sharing.

Really cool vitreolum. Al those details at such a small scale...

The train is a little too simplified for my taste, but that is my very favorite new micro (nano?) technique for mountains!  The snow cap on top is delightful.  Well done!

To echo, the snow capped mountains look great at that scale. And the smoke has been done well too.

An impressive little build with a clever use of elements to flesh out a full and recognizable scene.

What is that part used to create the mountains? ( I looked up claw elements on bricklink and couldn’t see anything resembling them) 

Love this build. Love the mountains and the smoke.

Great build!  The train and environment look recognizable and detailed for the size.

[KristofBD]

Very nice! Especially the smoke and the mountains!

Thanks!

Thank you! So I should have searched for claws plural. Definitely nice parts usage there!

Nice work and the train is easily recognisable despite the small scale although the smoke (which is a great use of parts!!) could do with coming out nearer the front. The scenery is really nice too (especially those mountains!!)

So simple and so visually appealing. I really like it. Also some nice SNOT building for the base.

[Svendp]

Nicely done. The mountains are my favorite part of the scene

Every time I see you've done a new MOC it's always a work of art. As always you've done an excellent job with parts usage and elegant solutions to create organic looks with bricks, I think you've got the contest in the bag!
