I'd be inclined to work in wood as much as possible, as I think it would be easier to get symmetrical than chickenwire - I had in mind to lay out contours a bit like this, so that you can position the blocks in the same way each side before filling between them.

It looks like other builders have been known to use expanded polystyrene between plywood formers, and I think I saw this method mentioned when I was researching yesterday, so it may be worth considering.

I'd use gelcoat myself, but of course the advantage of making your own panels is that you can cast them in as many different colours as you choose!
