Thanks, Mike.

I did figure out one trick this time when prepping for the mold pours. When making the various walls around the sections to be cast, I cut pieces of matte board and wrapped the pieces in aluminum foil. I found it quicker and easier to do than building all the walls out of clay. I had the whole thing in a wooden box, so I could stuff packing foam between the matte walls and the outer wooden box to give the matte walls support. I'll have to take some pictures of the process next time...
