another possibly odd question:

maybe this is the wrong place for it, but i was wondering if anyone had any experience/expertise with plastic/resin/or vinyl figure-making using molds. i didn't really see anything in the memories about it, but i might've missed something so if i did sorry!

my sister wants to have a set of figures made for her comic that she's trying to put out, and i thought perhaps i could do it as i'm skilled enough and willing to learn. not to mention the possibilities of making objects! but i am pretty clueless about how one might go about this. i imagine you'd have to sculpt something and then make a mold, but what kind of materials would you use? and then once it was made, what kind of paints would work well on these surfaces?

any help would be muchly appreciated. resin might not be hard to use, but i'm just trying to wrap my mind around it.

thanks!
