This seems like the thing to do from a cost, flexibility, and coolness stand point. The molds probably don't have to be too high tolerance to work and can therefore be made fairly inexpensively.

I'd be very interested to hear how this turns out. In particular, what material you end up using and where you get it, what material you use for molds, etc.
