Are you talking lifesized? could always use the duct tape method and fiberglass that

oh, I've done the duct tape torso here http://www.threadsmagazine.com/item/3659/clone-yourself-a-fitting-assistant and I thought I saw a thread somewhere about doing a whole body one, about the same just doing the legs too. I know that's not what you were looking for but supose you could use that to make a fiberglass mold or something.

did the whole body duct tape. worked really well. i was surprised. i made one before the duct tape on by using old plastic coke bottles and hot glued them together and then covered with fiberglass. took a while and a pain in the butt. duct tape worked really well and took an evening to do with the help of the wife and cost me about $10 in duct tape. an old shirt and pair of long johns, and a bunch of scrap foam padding. all together spent about $20 and one night with the duct tape method.
