 step one: First, you bone the chicken (whoops, wrong subject)  Ahem:   First, you take some soft modeling clay ( I like Roma Plastalina) and sculpt into the correct shape...in this case, a A/T 37 Dragonfly:

cthulhu77:
step two.   Jump up and down to mix the plaster, or use a popsicle stick...they are usable only AFTER you have eaten the popsicle:

cthulhu77:
Wait for the plaster to dry, then pop it out of your spouse's tupperware. Without them seeing it.  Cut in half with a saw of some sort...I am a lazy person with a ton of power tools, so I used a scroll saw...

cthulhu77:
Go to your local tyre dealer, or your neighbors, and get some free lead weights that are used to balance the wheels:

cthulhu77:
cut the required amount of soft lead to fill the mold, and tape it shut with duck tape (duct tape, if you like):
