Just an Idea, but You could use white glue, and keep building it up until it gets to the desired height!

Let me know if that helps!

One of the first and best sites on the web when I got addicted to modelling was Docīs Dios. The guy who created this site .... Keith Forsythe is involved at Digital dioramas now.
He has loads of nice articles on building simple dios very effectively. here is a link to show what you have asked! Rubble .
Check out his homepage under articles; Docīs Dios .
Hopefully this helps.

You basically build up the pile with either plaster or celluclay and then cover it with the actual debris. Then if you feel you need more you can cover it with glue and apply more debris.
