More than one way to skin a cat.

Yuk. That's gross. Who'd wanna skin a cat?
Anyway, yet another way to do it would be to use pink or blue styrofoam from your local home improvement store. Cut, carve, and sand it to shape, then paint it with some latex paint. THEN fiberglass over that. The latex paint keeps the polyester resin from attacking the foam. Then remove the foam mechanically (grinding/sanding/ripping/tearing) or dissolve it with your favorite environmentally-unfriendly chemical.
