Here's what I've been doing most of the day - internal organs for my travel companion. They are part of a circuit for warm water - control of the temparature of the travel companions wax skin means control of it's viscosity. And thus how it receives imprints.

The organs are first shaped in polyurethane, tubes are attached and the whole thing covered in butter. Yes, butter. Then covered in several layers of liquid latex. When the latex is dry the tubes are pulled out and acetone is injected through the openings, this disolves the polyurethane and, wupti, I have 5 nice red latex bladders.
