Has anyone ever molded something from polymer?

[Monkeyleg]

I'm in the process of starting to make something. I need first to have a sculptor make the little statue. Then I need to make a mold and make a polymer version of the statue. I'll need to make in in two pieces so I can modify the interior to fit parts.

I know nothing about this. Does anyone have any experience? Is this something an inexperienced person can do?

Thanks for any replies.

I used to do it when I was... about 9 or 10 y.o?  So it must not have been too hard.  Some kind of clear 2-part acrylic or polyester resin.

I'm going to have to learn soon. Molding flare capsules/grenades is a part of the whole NFA Destructive Device experience.

So I follow whatever happens here with interest.

Some hobby shops stock it in smaller lots, or you can buy big kits online.
