I am in the middle of building a diorama and I had soil from Western New York State used for a dirt road. It was sifted with a tea strainer but I was not at all satisfied with the scale boulders' mixed in. While this seems to be good to represent a creek bed, it's certainly not an applicable for this; I had no other choice but to use it here and here only. There <i>HAS</i> to be a way to represent a dirt road and have the dirt not look like a football team spilled their equipment all over! I have seen photos of MRR layouts the have great looking dirt roads and ask myself, <i>"WHAT DO THEY REALLY USE?!!!!!"</i>. <br /> <br /><b>PLEASE HELP ME</b> <br /> <br />[V][?][?][?][?][?][?][?][?]
