After cutting out the pieces of rubble from the foam board, I could glue them in place:
I also glued some wood, that I had cut a sharp side to and cut into blocks, along the edge of the crater. Once the glue on all of these had dried, I used a small spatula to apply wall filler over and between the rubble and around the outside of the crater:
That's a fairly involved job, it turns out, and I found that the paper templates for the rubble came off the smooth card of the foam board very easily, so I took them all off to prevent the filler from coming loose too easily later on. I further smeared filler all over the ground inside the ruin and textured it with an old, stuff paintbrush:
Now I'll leave this to dry before I continue with the inside of the crater and the road. The back of the wall will remain as it is, BTW, I'm not going to sand it smooth.
