first diorama need help

[Anderson_15_]

I have already posted this in the diorama section but ill post it here cause this is the right place for it

I have never built a diorama before and I would like your guys's help with it. Basically its going to be a car parked on the shoulder of a highway. In it will be the pavement and the ditch which will be a little gravel then grass. I need some input on how to make the pavement mostly. Any help with the ditch part would also be very helpful

Thanks, Pacen

Go find a hobby shop that carries model railroad supplies. We get an asphalt material that you mix with scenery glue. It looks like the real thing. They'll also have trees, shrubs, and grasses for your scenic needs. We also use sifted dirt from the backyard for dirt. Can't beat the realism and it's cheap.
