Abstract: A cured emulsion of a polymerizable silicone compound and an inert paste such as petroleum jelly, liquid soap solution, or combination thereof forms a tough, elastic material that simulates the characteristics of connective tissue when used to join an outer skin layer to an understructure, and is useable in the production of models and prostheses. The silicone compound is preferably a mixture of a room temperature vulcanizable silicone rubber and a low viscosity silicone fluid. A high viscosity plasticizer, such as high viscosity silicone fluid, can be added to the emulsion to better simulate the characteristics of connective tissue. The emulsion is preferably joined to the outer skin layer by adhering fiber to the emulsion and coating the emulsion and fibers with the outer layer.
