....you will need to have lots of sloppy, muddy ground; puddles and dirty water in ditches; matted down yellowed grasses; tire ruts, foot prints etc. I've seen this type of scenery modeled believable ultra realistic only once before. Kudos to you for even contemplating it!
I would build a diorama of sorts if I were you, where you can practice various techniques and get lots of feedback on how it looks before plunging into it on your layout. I am curious though; seeing as we are both from Pennsylvania, and the memories of last winters blizzards and 12 foot snow drifts still fresh in our memories.....Are you out of your mind?!?!?!
