Aces High,

One thing you might try is mixing up a batch of very fine sand along with a 50 - 50 mixture of white glue and water. Spread it on a board or a piece of styrofoam and sculpt it to the shape you are looking for.

Good luckBig Smile [:D]

Beach sand is OK, just be sure to sift the little critters out of it first. It also depends on the coarseness of your local sand, I have seen some pretty ugly sand in my time. Sandbox sand will work, too, just be careful that you don't scoop up any cat droppings.
