  • Patent number: 11472066
    Abstract: The technology described herein relates to a system of stackable/nesting stencils or molds for creating 3-D objects using a modeling compound material. The stencils or molds can be filled with the modeling compound material by hand and/or leveled using a roller to flatten the compound material more smoothly for a better outcome. Each stencil has a level and nests with another corresponding stencil of the set in a designated order. In some aspects, in order to guide a user with the correct designated order in which to fill the stencil plates or molds, each stencil plate or mold may be provided with a numbered tab. Once all the stencils are filled in the designated order with modeling compound materials, the stencil plates can be removed level by level to reveal a finished 3-D object. These 3-D objects may be anything from characters, vehicles, objects, figurines, and the like.
