Moldmaking isn't all that easy if you have arms etc that will not "saw in half" all that easily. Below is a website with some techniques which you may be able to modify somewhat. Vaseline makes a good "mold release" when using plaster of paris... hard not to chuckle when writing this after reading the post above, though...
Good luck.

because silicone is tender, it really is going to be detachable from a inflexible plaster of Paris mold - no matter if you'd be in a position to make an precise mold in only 2 aspects will be counted how inflexible the unique is and what type of element it has. "a lot" can be a variable wide type - you could locate that information commence disappearing out of your mold after some copies in accordance to how a lot element you've and how you made the mold. you're going to ought to apply separator and in view that the silicone will be all one colour, would ought to color the figures and that i understand silicone isn't ordinary to color reliably.
