<P>I like Mike's idea, would probably look pretty good, but I'd probably go a different route, only because dirt outside will look a lot darker under my own layout lighting. Depends on your lighting and how you want it to look</P> <P>If I were you I'd be outside on a day where the weather mimics how I'm trying to get my layout to look. Take a picture of a dirt road that embodies your idea of how you want one to look on your layout.</P> <P>Use a fine medium of your choice (sand if the color is light enough) and start mixing in dry powder pigments under your layout lighting until what you see in front of you matches the picture. This method is the most realistic-looking I've seen so far.</P>
