Fake Rock Wall,How To Build?

The said that as long as it looks good,I can build a rock-crawler course for my little crawler. So I'm looking for ideas on how to build a rock wall. I want to be able to make something in a kidney bean shape,that changes height,and looks real.I'd also like to plumb it for a water feature.Any thoughts?

Im not sure if you mean remote control, or cruiser. Either way Id bring in concrete and pour it ove an l shaped pcv outstretch that allows you to run water. Simple, and easy to make rigged or flat surfaced

Cultured stone from your local home improvement center. It's the kind of stuff they use on home exteriors.

It's going to be a remote control rock crawler course. That rock on the house is nice,but looking for more of a granite like formation.I don't want a flat wall,and would like it to look natural,so it will look good as landscaping also. I find it's easier to keep toys if the wife is happy.
