A lot of 'Mini Mill' owners cut reliefs in Aluminum and it works well, but I was looking for other materials that I could use to cut figure heads with lettering around the edges finely enough to be able to get a rubber mould impression so as to replicate that figure with cold casting, resin or plaster of paris.

I'd keep the original so I could make fresh moulds when the rubber-moulds deteriate over time.

Someone mentioned 'Garlite' (did I spell it right) but thats equally expensive as Aluminum, so there must be other materials out there for this aplication surely.

Thanks a lot.
