I know Michaels and AC Moore Craft stores have small 'hobby' molding. Don't recall specific sizes or shapes but I know they have it. Get the 40% off cuopon and check it out.

Im no expert at this game (or nay other game for that matter) but Ive been reading about making your own molds. If you make a master ...... carve it out of something, or use some of those airdrying clays maybe, .... you can buy the stuff that molds are made from and make your own mold. A good craft store should carry this. You paint it on in layers and let each layer dry before the next is painted on. When its thick and dry it should peel off the master. You can then make castings from hobby hardwall.

I find a LOT of real fancy scale molding at my local "doll house" dealer... they have a lot of stuff for 1:48 scale that works just great in 1:35....
