I tried Googling "DIY Moulding" and "DIY Moulding toys" but just the search results I got were highly inappropriate and irrelevant to toys... at least, the toys we're talking about (or at least I freakin' hope so!). Erm... nobody try Googling that if you're at work or in front of company. ;) Holy Nexus Maximus...

Check out ur local mould supplier...there's one next to Richmond station on swan street..The place is called barnes. They have a bunch of samples on display and starter kits etc for sale...from memory I think they sell putty too..if u want to sculpt something from scratch.
Oh yeh and if you wish to google DIY tips..try the term "silicone mold" you'll get nice video tutorials etc
thanks guys i will check those out!! :)
the other option, if you have a CAD model is to go to somewhere like
www.shapeways.com
I am expecting a design of mine to come in the mail some time in the next week and a half.
