Russ, thank you for that hint.
So, as announced earlier, here is some more trash. I try to give some spots a more heavy treatment and not to spread garbage evenly on the layout ... more to come ...
Kurt,
The additional trash looks great. You have really matched the photos for a realistic scene. A couple of questions come to mind:
What are you using for your soil base color?
Also, are you using a light ballast for your ground cover?
I am presently considering a light gray for the base soil color mixed with "Mudstone"from Ceramic Coat, a brown gray color that Lance Mindheim suggested. This color is available from Michael's Craft Stores. I will be using light gray/white N scale ballast stone from Arizona Rockand Mineral for the tracks as well as the general base cover over the paint. The soils in the Miami-Dade area are a dirty white-gray in color due to the high marl content.
