Pictures of a fake rock wall I'm building

I started out with a sheet of plastic (it's made the same as corrugated cardboard for boxes, but out of plastic instead) and then I sprayed it with spray foam. The foam is used for household repairs. It's 4ft long
After adding more foam
After cutting and shaping the foam
After adding concrete to the bottom right hand corner & sprinkling with sand
When the front is concreted and cured, I'll turn it over, remove the plastic, concrete the back and wait for that to cure, then cut the whole thing into 3 sections (or it'll be too heavy), concrete the newly exposed edges, paint it and then coat it with some West System epoxy and wait for that to cure. Then I'll add the air plants and ferns. Oh, and I still have to make a base for it.
You can't see it in these photos, but all the bits that jut out are hollowed out so that I can put plants in there

Methinks the shipping would be a killer
None the less, very cool project. Let us know if your clan likes it 
That is so creative and awesome!
