Support for a wheat field
First I constructed the base for my country road with 2" Risers which will also be cover with plaster cloth just like my railway sub-roadbeds. The road crosses my railroad using one of those rerailer / crossing track pieces that comes with every UniTrack starter set. Like many country roads, it makes a sharp bend in order to reach a farmhouse on the way to the next town. The future wheat field is supported by crumbled up paper held in place by masking tape. Then several pieces of plaster cloth were draped over the paper form and allowed to harden. Then a piece of Busch grass mat was glued into place over the plaster hardshell.
Further back, my farmhouse and barn complex sit on top of a flat piece of 2" foam board cut to hold the farm buildings and a strip of wheat field. The Ankylosaurus is looking for some veggies to eat, but none have not sprouted yet.
