Yes, you can use plaster of paris, which would be great on a one-off, but useless for any small batch production runs. How many you looking to make?

Plaster of paris would be useless for that. It will crumble up and fall apart after 1 or 2 shells. Try a goggle search for moulding materials, theres loads of different stuff you can use. Also check out some videos on youtube, again loads of examples.
Sorry i cant be of any more help in regards to precise materials, maybe someone else here has experience of this and can help better.
