How do you waterproof the waterfall?
I'm having trouble finding polystyrene in big enough and thick enough sheets...I was going to use tile grout to cover it, I bought some red pigment to dye the grout, and then I was going to cover it in a sealer.
Could you write up an instruction sheet please? (for those of us who have no idea)! I would personally be very appreciative- I've just been kinda 'guessing' the best way to do it to make it look good.
Looks awesome!

yep anyone can do it with a bit of time and creativity
polystyrene- $4.00 (or free if you raid a tip
tile adhesive- $11.00
wood filler- $10-$15.00
paint-$10 ( i use left overs or reduced to clear testers $2 a pot)
sand $2 or free from anywhere
kebab style bamboo stakes $1.50 for 100 (these are the thick ones approx 5mm)
this is enough to make a couple of decent sized rocks/walls/waterfalls ect....
i bought a sheet approx 1.5mx1.5m and 200mm thick easy to cut chunks and is flat so east to join
I dont know where you are but reverse garbage is in petersham sydney you can get massive blocks of polystyrene there for next to nothing i have also bought an old display case from there which i converted into an enclosure for my beardys they also sometimes have huge sheets of perspex for cheap. great little store and its all recycled so good for the planet too
funny enough polystyrene is waterproof
heheheh I used house paint and then used a matt finish finishing varnish seemed to work well, I havent got it in any enclosures at the moment cause its a bit big and was a "prototype"
