Thanks Galen!
I originally planned to build the scene on the layout itself, but I decided to build it as a mini diorama first. Easier to work on all sides of it at the workbench and blend it in to the surrounding terrain on the layout later. I took a scrap of hardboard and cut it to match the dimensions of the property's foot print on the edge of town.
I then cut squares of plaster cloth, dipped them in water and covered the hardboard.
