The "Best" way would be to really do your homework. read,read,read up on how a Diorama like this has been done before in books, magazines and blogs. Study the topography of the terrain you are to model and research each and every item going onto it After you take in the experience of the modelers doing models that you like--you will be able to decide what is the "best" way to execute the actual build.

If this awnser sounds spurious, it's because that is quite an endevour you suggest. It is a very good idea for a Dio, but to do the idea justice, would take a alot a skillsets

Here's some inspiration for you    http://vimeo.com/8579657

It is a video of the work of Jose Brito, and towards the end is a review of one of the finest beach landing Dios

"Well...you gunna pull them pistols, or just whistle Dixie?"
