Yes, Goldigger sisters; Gina and Cheeta, are resin copies from the originals that I sculpted. Cheetah was a bit of a challenge to mold, because I foolishly decided to mold her all in one piece, so it made it a little tough to pull the casing out of the mold. She's very large, about 12" if standing. Gina was a piece of cake by comparison

Perhaps you should try experimenting with multi-part molds, if you're going to cast complex shapes like that in one piece.
Multi-part molds aren't too hard to work with, especially if you design it with a 'mother mold.' Think of the mother mold as a rigid outer shell that holds the pieces of the multi-part mold together and keeps them aligned without distorting the mold cavity. I'm sure you can find more info on it if you fire up your favorite search engine.

It was a multi - part mold, it's just that I didn't plan it very well because the one leg that was up forward, created an undercut that trapped the silicone and made it very hard to pull out without the risk of tearing. But now that I have more experience,and looking back, I probably would've planned it out better
