Project Brief: Mold Making & ABS-Like Casts from Fiberglass Mannequin Overview I have a full-size fiberglass male mannequin and I need to create rigid plastic molds of each body part (top and bottom halves) to build something like an Ironman suit. The goal is to replicate each section in a material with hardness and durability similar to ABS plastic. I am looking to start ASAP. What I Need Take large fiberglass mannequin parts (arms, legs, torso, hips, etc.). Create accurate negative molds (silicone, epoxy, or other suitable material). Cast each part into rigid plastic shells (ABS-like hardness, durable, smooth surface). Ensure top and bottom halves align cleanly for enclosure-style use. Final surfaces should be strong enough to drill through (for hardware mounting). Project Details Mannequin size: ~71" tall, 24" shoulders, life-size proportions. Parts will be dropped off in NYC (SoHo area) — ideally you’re local so I can deliver and pick up. I’m open to your recommendations on process (vacuum forming, resin casting, thermoplastic sheet forming, etc.). Looking for professional-quality, strong and rigid results. Deliverables Full set of hard plastic shells (matching mannequin parts). Molds (if reusable, optional, but preferred). Guidance on best materials to achieve ABS hardness and stability. Ideal Freelancer/Shop Experienced mold maker, prop fabricator, or industrial prototyper. Comfortable working with large, organic shapes. Located in NYC area (or close enough to accept local drop-off/pick-up). Budget & Timeline Please quote based on scope (molds + castings). Timeline: flexible, but I’m ready to begin immediately.
