Building a dio of WWII the Italian campaign. Sure really could use some advice on how to start the base but most of all how to build a gravel road with a track leading off it.

Have it as well ... really a good investment if you are interested in dioramas. It has an explanation on almost everyting you need to know, plus some. Some very inspirational dios built up inside as well. Good text description of the materials, tools and methods, and caption images are top notch! IŽd recommend this also!
