I'm doing a resin infusion so I need a flange all the way around were I have this big gap do I have to just build a wall out of modelling from the base up to the part? I'm using the epoxy tooling gel and putty kit from ec.

4 inch flange from the edge of the product to the outside edge of the mould, basically enough space to layup the stack and stick down the edge of the carbon and lay the infusion lines, gum tape with out struggling for space. 

Wow that is some Technicolor plasticine you got there, make sure the plasticine is nice and flat and the edges are nice and smooth it's worth taking the time to get a decent finish on the mould.
I like to get the rough shape using plasticine then do a small covering with filliting wax as it's much nicer to work with and you can get a semi polished finish Smile
