Any tips on making a master mold?
You said that your first master was made with bondo. I had the same idea a while back, but it back fired on me. I work with sintra a lot on my mando costumes. My boba is in its 5th form and 3 of them were sintra based. Anyways, my idea was cut the basic shape of the armor piece in sintra and layer bondo on it until I had the right height. Then sand it down into the right shape and curves. My only problem was the sintra warped upward when the bondo hardened.

I was going to get a mounted jigsaw and a power sander with my tax return and make masters out of wood, but the check they sent me was less then half what I was suppose to get...so thats a bust...
