So I've been thinking of picking up a project I completed a few years ago. My partner and I sculpted a replica of the Xenomorph. We originally had made a silicone mold and we managed to get several resin casts. I really have an itch to sculpt another Xenomorph, but we really want to be able to run casts in casting latex, ideally we would love to make a piece suitable for a cosplay. Our question is what molding material would be best to mold a life size xeno? I know the typical molding material for latex is stone, our fear is that the mold would be too cumbersome for us to lift and manipulate safely.
I've seen before other builders using Fiberglass for larger molds, would liquid latex cast in a gel coat/fiberglass mold cure correctly? I've only ever seen foam latex cured in large scale ovens in fiberglass molds.
