TrainNut, hey, i would NOT put glue/water over a pile of dirt, your right, it would change it. i would use plaster, or wad up some tape, then paint it with straight white glue, then sprinkle the dirt on it, when dry vacuum off the loose dirt, i have done this before and had GREAT luck with the outcome:winki: . for the trench, i took a drill and "dug" a trench with it, then AGAIN brushed straight white glue on the areas that i wanted dirt, sprinkle dirt over it, vacuum up when dry:thumb: .
Just throwing out some things that has worked for me:winki::smilie: .
