I didn't actually think of making molds before. I'll ask my pottery teacher how to make a slip cast mold. A production version would probably be smaller to keep costs and weight down. This one weighs a couple kg and is almost a foot tall.
The mechs I can make are limited because clay can't support a chicken walker design. I think i'm going to try making a smaller urban mech soon as a gift to my friend.

Thanks
