Molding putty?

I'm looking for a product that I could make parts out of without casting resin. Something that I could possibly mix, press into the mold, and have it cure to a hard state.
Also, looking for a similar product to make molds out of. Must cure to a hard shell, so I can press the above putty into the mold.
I know these products exist (saw on Japanese forums), but I can't read Japanese, and have not seen the names/boxes - so if anyone can help me with the name or source for something like that - please let me know.
Couple of pictures for reference what I'm talking about:

Have you tried google translate on your phone? I read Fujimi and Hasegawa instructions all the time with it - works great.

That stuff is called "Oyumaru". It is available via Amazon. Do a google search for that name and you'll get plenty of results, including YouTube videos showing how it's used.

I just use 2 part silicone mould material.
Search for Silicone food safe mould putty on flea bay or Google. It's great stuff. Comes in 2 parts (blue and white) and you mix them and press over the part. Within a short time you have a nice flexible mould. Don't move it before it's fully cured and cooled though or it will distort a little.

Yeah, that's the problem, I need a very rigid, not flexible mold.
I have silicone and resins, but need something I can hand-press 2-part epoxy putty into. Oyumaru should do just fine.

I have loads of these. I can probably send you some.
You just drop the stick into hot water and let it soften, and then press it onto something you want to take a mold of. Once it is cooled you can use it for resin mold. You can knead several sticks into a larger piece and once you are done with the mold, you can drop it into hot water and reuse it.

Blue stuff is similar to Oyumaru but is slightly stiffer when cold. Look on ebay or any War Gamers site.
