I would like to make some concrete moais or tiki totem pole for my garden and was thinking of using the carboard tube style concrete forms

and using paper mache to form on that for the features then cementing over it on the outside of that. Has anyone done something like this before and can give me some advice?

I like the idea of the tiki being hollow for weight and so that it can be 'lantern' style so I can put what I want inside of it, candles, tiki torches, or make them as planters (chia tiki style :P )
