You can buy whats called bandaging material or modrok from art shops.
It is like plaster of paris and combined in a cotton gauze/muslin. It is drenched in water (by you) and wrapped around a mould or base or scrunched up/ placed and left to dry. This takes anything from an hour to a few days depending on the amount used/the humidity conditions its drying in.
By the sound of it it would be excellent for the job- its white so easy to paint colouts, its fun to use and its a dam site easier to prepare than ripping up newspaper for paper mache.
A word of advice though, wear old clothes!!
Good art shops in London I know of are atlantis in east london/aldgate east, the london graphics centre in covent garden, paperchase tottenham court road (n.b not the same as anyother paperchase) and there is a shop on drury lane london w1 which I cannot recall the name of.
Atlantis and the london graphics centre all have websites. As for outside london, try "serious" art sops, ask them for modrock(say "mod-rock") if they dont know what it is its their loss, and thierlack of knowledge not yours!
try google for other websites though its quite heavy to carry/for postage weight so may be in your best interest to pick it up from a shop you find advertised on the website/yellow pages.

I buy mine for the builders merchants "Builders centre" they are located up and down the country. It is a 25 kg bag it cost about £12 00. it might take a couple of days to get it but it is fresh and it has not been laying on a shelf. it normally lasts a couple of months if kept in a dry place

I trust Margaret. You sound such as you desire to dedicate suicide by potential of suffocation and in all hazard get burned besides in the approach. whilst plaster gadgets it develops warmth, observing the quantity of plaster the warmth is sufficient to burn you. through fact of this you under no circumstances ever desire to stick a hand or foot right into a bathtub of moist plaster the two....and those appendages are slightly extra dispensable than your face. in case you do no longer desire to die a painful death and earn a Darwin Award in the approach tell your self thoroughly of the approach and have people who've performed the approach previously assist you to. do no longer even think of of doing this on my own or have friends who do no longer understand what they are doing the two assist you to.

try the next hardware store or building suppliers they should have it. Just buy plaster of paris, it will be fine. If they have hydrocal it will be harder when it's set, but also more expensive.
