Hey folks,
William is indeed a great modeler, he's proven it again and again,
but this time he used his CGI 3D skills first, then used his 3D printing 
machine to make the styrofoam copy.

I do share the other's questions as to how you will mold with plaster, and 
then clear the mold.
A one-part plaster mold is usually best for latex body parts, to avoid seam 
lines.
So, would the old solvent trick work here, or would it leave a residue?

For those who don,t know: few drops of acetone makes sturofoam dissapear.
Very toxic (and most probably far from enviro-friendly), which is why I've 
never done it, though it sounds rather cool, tech wise. If there was a non 
toxic way of having a similar reaction, using other materials...

I once dreamed of a big loaf of dry bread that could be sculpted and made 
permanent without the risk for mold and pests...
Hey William,  could your 3D printer sculpt a dry loaf of bread?
