I have read a bit about using plasticine to create multi piece moulds.

How would you break up the mould? I had a look tonight whilst cooking the Barbie- nothing jumped out at me as the obvious place to do it. Perhaps into thirds across ways using the edge of the centre opening? Otherwise into thirds vertically with the splitter, vertical surface with all the ducts, and then the curved headlight section?

I like the idea, but worry about the execution. It would certainly make storing and moving the mould easier. Totally agree on making the mould rigid. It makes sense to me. I want to make a frame so it is 'boxed' meaning I can work on it at whatever angle is most convenient.


Q: mold or mould? I have used both in this thread and both look wrong.
