Do you have a list of the materials and how much you used.

[@RonColeArt]

This is the traditional way of doing this but, I can imagine people will now be tempted to use software that can turn a series of photos into a digital 3D model of the person and then 3D print the "lifecast" of them in plastic. Technology may make even lifecasting obsolete.

[@smoothon]

Tech is moving very fast, but Body Double picks up the details of human skin and tattoos on the skin! There will always be a need for lifecasting.
