Hi there shark
First u should think of location (North Africa,Europe,etc.) Then u should scout around 4 photos and stories on the web.

U could also ask more specific questions on your subject. (I dont really know a lot on aircraft )
Good luck

Keep well

Well i was thinking of it to be in Europe...but what i was wanting to know is the material to use on this scenerio...like what kind material for the ground then what to use for the grass.

Celluclay is just a fancy name for Paper Mache. you add water to made it plyable or formable while it is still wet you can add things to it color it, shape it, It good stuff just be sure to seal any wood if you use it as a base.
