I returned from New England with a cute doll belonging to my granddaughter.  It 
had failed an ariel test by her big brother.  The missing  leg was smashed to 
smithereens. I ordered some molding compound and the results was less than 
hoped for.  Then I remembered all the many threads of this list of 'how to do a 
bodycast' and rummaging in my Costuming-making stash, came up with a roll of 
plaster tape donated by my orthopedist.  So I placed a cast on the leg just 
thick enough to catch the shape, cut it while it was set but not dry and 
"Voila"! I will have to tweak the Avis Clay to make the right leg and foot but 
the right size is there.  I also wrapped a china doll in plastic was able to 
make a mold of  the chestplate of another doll.
