Excerpt from Designing, Modeling, Building a Model Automobile
In the design studios of the automobile industry, new designs are worked into plaster models. The following instructions are adapted from the methods used by professional automobile model makers.

To make the mold, place your clay model on a ?at board which has been painted with several coats of shellac (fig. To prevent the plaster from sticking, coat the board with grease or soap jell.
