I am in the process of building a long mountain to disguise my two level layout changing levels. The wire mesh and plaster of Paris are in in place and its now down to colouring and scenery. Does anyone know of a problem is using very fine top soil to cover the area before adding some "artificial " colours.
My thoughts were to add some fine top soil and then spay a mix of PVC /Water & fairy liquid to try to give the mountain some realism.
Is there any reasons why this cannot be done i.e does the soil decompose or smell after a period. I have looked a various book on adding scenery and have never seen anything that refers to this.
Any good advice would be appreciated

Many thanks to all who replied.
What a great helpful site this is, not like some of the unpleasant ones on the Internet where you ask a dubious question and you are shot to pieces and verbally abused.
I think the micro wave & oven will be running on overtime when my better half is out shopping.
