Answer by mike1942f
From the details given here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Harryhausen#1950s and the people he worked with, he could have used real fur and skin over his metal skeletons but both plasticine oil based earth clay and latex rubber were available to build up forms. This site http://www.war-ofthe-worlds.co.uk/war_of_the_worlds_harryhausen.htm specifically mentions molded latex which is a material used in theatrical makeup. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=jbF&q=latex+foam+molding&aq=f&oq=&aqi=
