Hi,

If I wanted to make my own garden ornaments using a latex mould:

4. anybody had a go at this?

Sort of.

Look at http://www.mauve.plus.com/Chinese-Lantern.jpg
The base was cast in one bit using a mould made from several sheets of
polystyrene glued together.
This was then cut with a hot wire to a template.
Then the inner core was removed, and with a plywood box round the mould
to stop it flying apart under pressure, concrete poured in.

Nice base. Must have been tricky cutting the polystyrene and getting the
legs correct?
