The materials that we should use

From one of the people who would like to help us we got this question:

What will this monument be made out of? Actual potatoes? Cement? Plaster? Bronze? Marble?

At the moment we do not know from what material the monument will rise, we count on your help and suggestions.

Although the use of actual potatoes seems like a tempting idea ;)

...We are more inclined towards plastic and durable materials, but much will depend on what funds we will be able to collect.

Saying plastic and durable materials we mean materials plastic and easy to work with and resistant to atmospheric conditions when the machining is finished.

At this point we are consider the following materials:

• concrete (cement is only a component of concrete, the use of cement itself is ineffective) - cheap, easy to work with and quite resistant;
• steel installation - cheap, easy to work with, but must be protected from corrosion.

We also thought about:

• plaster - cheap, easy to work with, but soft in the final form and not very persistent;
• bronze - resistant, bronze monuments look great, but it is quite expensive material and not so easy to work with;
• marble - resistant, marble monuments look great, but it is quite expensive material and it requires a skilled sculptor;
• plain stone - resistant and it is much cheaper than the previous material, but as marble it requires a skilled sculptor;
• harder types of stone as granite, basalt - very resistant, but are much more difficult to process and more expensive.

We hope you will help us decide on the right material.
