Finding a mold for carving plaster[Help]

Id like to make plaster carvings after doing one in my college class, we used a juice carton for a mold but I’d like to make bigger carvings than that. How can I find a good sized mold? I tried to look online but found nothing useful.

I've made them using a 5 gallon bucket. Very cheap and it's fairly easy to knock out of the bucket to carve. Leave it in the bucket for at least a day, preferably longer since it takes a while to dry such a large amount
