Thank you for your comment, Realjuan!
I agree with you that simply using cork to represent rocks isn't enough. It doesn't look natural IMO. I therefore used Millipult to add further details to the structure and close the gaps between the rocks and the door.
This is how it looks like atm (still WIP - please click on the pics to see more details):
Next step will be to add several layers of debris / rubble / small pebblestones.
Anything else you would like me to add?
Miniature painting, terrain building, differently themed bases, dioramas, conversions, tutorials, reports on workshops and events for miniature painters. My projects have often been inspired by feedback of other hobbyists. This blog is for you! I hope that one day, it will be a source of mutual inspiration, a virtual meeting point for miniature painters to connect, share ideas, improve their skills and thus ultimately support each other in their creative work.

Big improvement!
There are some things in Warhammer (etc) modelling that I call "accepted shorthand" - in other words, they look enough like what they are supposed to represent that we just look past them. This includes exaggerated raised shield motifs (easy to paint but so unrealistic!) and cork tiles as rock! The extra work already helps a lot with that.
And I don't mean that as criticism for anyone - I use both, and also hundreds of greenstuff roses which actually don't look much like roses at all... ;)
Maybe you ca apply some moss, little plants or small trees.
Nice work, and it already looks even more realistic with the greenstuff.
Thank you all for commenting and keeping me motivated to continue working on this large project.
Not sure whether I want to add plants or trees to a mine exclusively consisting of rocks. But gemstones, skulls and ruins of an old dwarf stronghold might be a feasible option.
I'm going to upload pics of the next steps in the next few days.
