I've just finished building a Mini Mill and want to cut figures into a material so I can get a rubber mould of that figure and mount it onto a framed board or plaque. Well thats the general idea I have at the moment.
But I was wondering what would be a suitable material to get a mould from. Wood, Plastic, Aluminum or some other type of material. All these can be cut on my mill, but Aluminum is a bit expensive and I'm trying to keep costs down to a minimum after the expence of building the Mini Mill which emptied my wallet, well nearly.
So basicly I'm looking for other sources of stock to mill other than Aluminum to get a good impression with the rubber mould (Finest detail as possible). If anyone has an idea I'd like to hear it please.
Thanks a Lot.
