Here's the finished piece with some of my 28mm ACW collection to give a sense of scale: Next I added Woodland Scenics products for the vegetation: I then drybrused the whole piece using yellow ochre and some lighter shades. The paint and sand, combined with the wood putty, left the whole thing as tough as rhino hide, which is good for toughness and durability. Next I painted the whole thing with leftover brown housepaint liberally mixed with play sand. Yes, for you Canucks, that is a cup of Tim Hortons in the top of the picture.

Once the sanding was complete, I filled in the rough bits and holes using plastic wood putty, slightly watered down. One the foam was cut into shape, I sculpted it using a hacksaw and sandpaper. I started with MDF board but to shape, some pink styrofoam insulation, and white carpenter's glue. I always wanted one for my ACW tabletop, and so it became a project for this summer. These were much deeper than the well known Sunken Road at Antietam.

I remember marching through deep sunken roads, with banks above head height, easily 3 to 5 metres, topped by stone walls, trees and vegetation. During my American Civil War reenacting phase (I can't quite call it a career), one of the best events I attended was a march through the beautiful countryside of Loudon County, Virginia.
