Not that I know of, but there is a whole class on making your own people at http://www.mylargescale.com . Click “Articles” then Articles again. It’s easy and lots of fun.
try culinart.net , they sell a silicone-molding compound for $15.00 in an one-pound kit.[2c]
You know, if someone were to create some molds for figures I think they coul dmake a lot of money.
I once made an American Civil War (War between the States) and American Revolutionary War Chess set out of earthenware clay. If somone created some very basic shapes of humans…it is possible to customize from those basic shapes.
Sell one mold with three casts in it, a seated figure, a standing figure abd another in a different stance. I would do it my by skills in the matter are sketchy at best. I leave it to the pool of talent in this forum. Give it a try…it might prove to be very profitable.
You can buy a kit from Alumilite to make your own molds (of your own items, of course)
www.alumilite.com
I’ve made one successful mold using Silicone adhesive. At about $2 for a tube, it beats the $30 for RTV silicone, IFF (that’s if and only if) you’ve got something simple (no nooks and crannies) to mold.
If somebody did make a set of molds, they’d naturally be the wrong scale for whatever you’re doing.
In the Netherlands, a loooong time ago DAS clay sold molds for people in exactly the right scale. I managed to get a bunch from old stock and flee markets, but by now they seem to have completely disappeared. I’ll try and rustle up some pics of the ones I made.
