Following! What are you making coral out of? This should be much better than ATMs fake coral inserts what with dice, balls, sports stuff, etc in them
 
I'm using a moulding silicon to make the corals just got a bit more shaping to do with the styrofoam and then will be doing the concrete on the weekend and then once that is dry I can start on the corals.
 
Ok bit more progress just added in the holes and moulding and the stands for some of the coral any feedback or ideas would be great.

This is as far as I have gotten. Waiting on the right colour pigments for the epoxy.

Will get newer photos soon as there is a lot more cement on it now and is better shaped.
