Hello!

Just wanna ask - what should I do first?

I applied the plaster (groundwork) onto the base...Should I glue the models/sprites before adding the soil?

Help!

I would do the soil gig first, then add the vehicles. That whats I would do, and have done.

I would do the ground work first and add figures and vehicles later.
Remember to add tire ruts and footprints in the ground early. Its easier because stuff is dry and reminds you to be aware of where grass should and shouldn't be. Or where grass needs to be crushed, pushed, etc.
