Here are update pics:
1) I coated the inside of the plaster bandage molds heavily with vasaline.
2) I mixed and poured mortar into both molds and left them for 48 hours.
3) I cut a slit up the back of the mold and cracked them off the casts.
4) I was left with casts shown in the following two pictures.
I intend to let these dry for another three days to make absolutely sure the inside is nice and hard. Then I will repair the two minor cracks behind the knee. I will begin making perfect templates this weekend. The total cost for these casts was approximately $35.
