Once the surface has dried you can use glue and coloured 'scatter' to create grass or rock effects that you require. The technique is the same for papier mache, though this is probably more time consuming. You will need to two to three layers of this.
The modelling rock should be cut into strips, placed over the wire and then painted with water. Use modelling rock (a gauze impregnated with Plaster of Paris) to create the surface. Attach the completed structure to the board - you can leave it un-attached if you would like the structure to be easily changed or replaced. The wire is easily modelled into the shapes that you require. For the beginner, the first two are probably the easiest methods.
You can shape layers of polystyrene roughly with a craft knife, glue to your baseboard and use Poly-filla to create the surface. Chicken wire works well with the first two, while polystyrene is better with the last. You will need to create a structure on which to apply a covering layer of modelling rock, papier mache or even Poly-filla. The basic principle behind each method is the same.
