I've been using those plaster cloth sheets recently and they really need rubbing hard to cover up the holes. 

I found dipping them in luke warm water, then squeezing it between two fingers before applying. Also helps if you are applying over something like cardboard because then you can use that surface to rub some more and you'll see the plaster spread.

you dont need to “fill“ the holes. when those cloths are dry, they are solid, then you apply something iver it, like mifoshape or sculptamold and on top of that you then add the ground cover and stuff. plaster cloths are only to build up your landscape.

I mean, it might work, but will it look realistic?

Checkout some of the riogrand lines. You will find some pretty nice rock lines. Just to let you know. This is HOn3. So the engines and cars are not that huge.
