LEGO bricks are available online at "Brick Link". they are available from individuals, and prices vary , some good very deals are available. this is where I got mine to do resin casting molds, check them out for reasonable LEGO prices.
You should order rubber that is pourable next time. That looks more like a brushable polyurthethane (or silicone) so the sides would be cleaner and have less chances of air bubbles getting trapped. Funny that you used Legos, but I would've never do that.
@nbaietti The problem is - is that Lego are so precisely engineered to fit you could not probably go over 5 bricks tall until they become to be unaligned.
where did you get your rubber from? i got some from Michael's. not sure how it will turn out...also confused bc it says to "paint on the rubber in layers" like im not supposed to pour it or something.
I noticed that the 2nd mold seemed a little stuck to the bottom of the hood. If you put a thin coat of the petrolium jelly on the actual hood to prevent that, would it screw up the mold?
Awesome! Answered an important question I had. Thank you

he could have also used 50/50 parts of isopropalene alcohol and dish washing liquid.
