I'm going to attempt to make a master this weekend, as for the casting for
other people, wouldn't I be violating a copyright somewhere? Now, I could
probably give a few away.

Just FYI though, there is much more involved with making a good mold than just
painting latex on a master. I still have the whole learning curve as to how
easily the resin flows, what cutouts are needed so I don't trap air. I also do
not yet have a feel for how much detail I can do with resin. My last casting
ended up with little wavy lines over the whole casting, this was fine for
sanding to flat surfaces, but not fine for holding detail.
