FYI for anyone else who tries this, I thought about the acrylic medium
but decided to use the sand instead.  The texture (beach sand) is a
little too rough for scale but it looks okay--however, it's proving
difficult to get the surface like pavement, it tends to look more like
the paving truck just dropped off the last dribs and drabs of its load
right where the figures are standing.
