very good tutorial. I have been on the internet for a couple of days now searching for molding and re-fabricating. However i have a question, I am thinking of re-fabricating an old tail light of a vehicle, what kind of plastic will i need to use for the lens? does anyone know? hopefully someone could give me an answer on this. thanks

Chances are the horse was cast from a mold. Use a magnifying glass and try yo see where the original mold lines ran. Because of the many undercuts the horse may have been made from even a 3-part mold. Two halves per side and a third section that went between the legs. You can use clay to fill between the legs, make the two outer halves, remove the clay and cast that part last. Use a flexible silicone for deep undercuts.

@myrainywoods So people would click on it and watch the updated version of the video rather than the older version.

You shouldn't cut towards yourself. Away is the way.

why didnt you use clay for the bottom, instead of the wood? Yuo could've used plasticine clay for the base built up around the model

Clay wouldn't create a straight parting line. A future video will show the clay technique on a very irregular shape, but this project required a straight parting line, and therefore, we used wood.
