Patent ID: 7374708

Claim:
A method of constructing a reproduction of a three-dimensional laminar body having a finished outer surface, comprising: forming at least one first negative mold on a full scale model of the three-dimensional laminar body; compartmentalizing the at least one first negative mold into juxtaposed first negative mold portions, the first negative mold portions being configured to cooperate to collectively define the entire outer surface of the three-dimensional laminar body; forming a positive mold on each of the first negative mold portions; forming a second negative mold on each of the positive molds, each second negative mold being configured to have a finished surface defining a portion of the three-dimensional laminar body, whereby the second negative molds are configured to be cooperable to collectively define the three-dimensional laminar body, including the outer surface thereof, and forming a portion of a reproduction of the three-dimensional laminar body on each of the second negative molds, each portion of the reproduction having a finished outer surface in correspondence with the corresponding second negative mold, contiguous portions of the reproduction thereby being joinable to form the reproduction of the three-dimensional laminar body.
