I decided to finally try my hand at an Epoxy stone build. I just finished the waterfall and will be working on the background over the next few weeks (starting Saturday). I've always wanted to try faux stone but have been intimidated... After much research, I finally started building a few weeks ago and slowly finished the waterfall (today).
I will be posting photos as I make progress. While my epoxy stone skills are improving, I'm still intimidated and hope I can make a decent background as I'm relatively satisfied with the waterfall I finished.
Here are some photos of the waterfall and some rocks I made:
Waterfall:
Here is the carved foam:
Foam after hitting it with a torch and starting to cover with epoxy & sand:
Here is the waterfall after the first coat of epoxy:
I wasn't impressed with the results so I went for a different look and started adding a new layer:
Final layer finished:
While trying to hone my sculpting/carving skills, I used some foam balls which I shaped, torched, and covered in epoxy & sand:
I will post more photos as the build progresses.
