So I'm loving how the shape has turned out, so much so that I had to upload a preview. Never done anything like this with styrofoam but it ended up working well. Let me know what you think!
Edit: possible how to video at some point in time

Hat dame. I'd cut the hip to be a little mellower though.

Love it man I'll be painting mine similar colors, I want to incorporate plants into mine too somewhere, maybe over the hip just not sure how I'd want it to be. Grass around yours looks good.
Edit: that pool board looks killer too, I'm gonna need a pool board to cruise in mine, all I have are old school tech decks. Did you make that one?

Yeah man, I made that board back in like.. 2010. Ive been using it as my cruiser a long time haha maybe ill post it in newest setups~
But yeah dude I think foliage around the pool would be awesome. It just makes it look so much better and more realistic. Im looking forward to more progress on this!!

It's styrofoam insulation, any hardware store that sells building supplies.

The stuff I bought didn't come with the foil. I bought 3 one inch thick sheets of 3ft by 8ft for 20 dollars at Home Depot. You could probably leave the foil on if it doesn't come off easily, don't see why it wouldn't work the same.

Nice bowl.
Just remember that if you add an inch of concrete to it, it's going to be an inch shallower than you carved it

I added quarter inch around tops, just above the staples holding the rebar in place. Who would add an inch of concrete? With a quarter inch for the upper flat, the bowl is so close to the same, I wouldn't notice a difference. If I had anticipated using 1 inch of concrete all over I would have made it one more inch deeper. I don't know, am I crazy, I didn't feel the need to make it one inch thick of concrete. It seems a bit excessive.
