Think Big, plan small. You can do the whole around the room, but do it in pieces, start with a small 2'x4' section, when you get that looking the way you want, move on to the next 2'x4' section. after that, you may feel you have enough practice to tackle a bit bigger section, maybe a 2'x8' section. Keep going till you got the whole room done. On the side, I'd keep scrap track, ballast, loco's and roling stock for practice. want to solder rail? use the scrap sections to enhance the skill, want to weather that loco? Use that old Tyco you bought off Ebay for $2 as a practicer. Same with structures and other things. Luckily for you, Woodland scenic makes lot's of practice sets for landscaping, roads and water. could pick up a few of those and practice that way too. They also have a Diarona kit that lets you preactice rails, ballast and lanscaping in one package.
