You might be better of with a product like Renshape:

Don't know how it behaves with powered wood tools, but can be shaped like wood using hand tools. Problem is; it is only available in big (expensive) chunks and is not easy to find in the USA.
I think some American modellers were getting small supplies as off-cuts from their local art & design colleges...may be worth a try?
A silly question, but why not make the master buck in something like pearwood and then take a rubber mould off it to cast the plastic?
