Thanks chaps. Steamer, no, electroforming is more like reversed etching, where you deposit metal from anode(+) to cathode(-) using electrolysis. From what I've read, it was used in museums to replicate
certain artifacts. The original artifact was coated with a rubbery substance to make a mold. When the mold cured, it was released, and "blackleaded"(with graphite powder) to make the surface electrically conductive. Then the mold was submerged to bath(electrolyte), and proper amount of current applied. In the old days, they used dynamos to provide needed current. Luckily we have today adjustable power supplies, that are affordable.
As Bill suggested, I think I really should start to take pictures, as plain text isn't as explanatory. Cheers.
