Stackable/nesting stencil or mold system for modeling compound

A system for creating a 3-D object from a modeling compound, the system comprising:

• a first mold component comprising a first inner surface and a first outer surface, the first inner surface forming a first molding cavity;
• a second mold component comprising a second inner surface and a second outer surface, the second inner surface forming a second molding cavity, wherein the second mold component comprises one or more openings;
• and
• a cap component comprising a third inner surface and a third outer surface, wherein the third inner surface is configured to be in contact with the second outer surface of the second mold component when engaged with the second mold component, the third inner surface comprising one or more protrusions configured to plug the one or more openings of the second mold component,
• wherein the first molding cavity of the first mold component and the second molding cavity of the second mold component are complementary to form an enclosed molding cavity, and
• wherein the system further comprises an armature configured to fit within the enclosed molding cavity.

A kit for creating a plurality of 3-D objects from a modeling compound, the kit comprising a plurality of systems for creating a plurality of 3-D objects, wherein each system in the plurality of systems comprises:

• a base plate comprising at least one opening, wherein the at least one opening comprises a raised lip portion having a first height, the lip portion extending along an entire first perimeter of the at least one opening;
• and
• one or more nesting stencil plates configured to nest within the base plate, each nesting stencil plate of the one or more nesting stencil plates comprising:
• one or more openings aligning with one or more predetermined portions of the at least one opening of the base plate;
• a first surface;
• and
• a second surface opposite the first surface,
• wherein the first surface comprises a border portion extending therefrom, along a perimeter of each nesting stencil plate,
• wherein the second surface comprises a flange portion extending therefrom, along an entire shaped opening perimeter of each of the one or more shaped openings, and
• wherein the flange portion of a nesting stencil plate of the one or more nesting stencil plates is configured to engage and enclose the raised lip portion of the base plate, and wherein the flange portion comprises a second height that is greater than the first height of the raised lip portion.
