I was wondering what became of the head, until I discovered the pic of it half
submerged in the stream. :-) It was fun exploring this diorama. The vegetation
is great, as well as the terrain contours and how the mecha was posed,“laid to
rest”. I think the bigger trees were felled during the battle (hence the
stumps). I’d estimate that’s 50 to 100 years of regrowth, given the size of the
trees.
This reminds me of finding giant glacial boulders in the woods, though they are
covered with lichen and moss after a few thousand years. I’ve seen man-made
artifacts that still look pristine after decades in the woods, bottles,
ceramics. Abandoned Ford Model Ts turn into barely recognizable rust piles. It
depends on the material.
The only element missing is a cave, deep in your landscape cross section, a
place to put a sleeping bear, or a mutant underdweller. :-)
The wolves are waiting until sunset to strike. Sometimes a camp fire is enough
to keep them at bay. But these men surely know to sleep lightly and keep their
guns by their sides...

ps. Eventually, after further human de-evolution, a primitive tribe will build a
temple pyramid around the Sentinel, to preserve and protect it as an idol for
grisly rituals, the outstretched hand a sacrificial altar.
