A modular model verification mounting system and method for building and verifying a production tooling verification model with a surface contour made of a workable material is disclosed. The mounting system can include at least one base member for supporting the production tooling verification model. The base member has a first uniform grid of apertures disposed in a first surface at a first predetermined distance from one another. At least one component member is provided for attaching to the base member in cooperation with the first grid of apertures. The component member has a second uniform grid of apertures formed in at least one second surface and disposed at a second predetermined distance from one another. At least one armature is connected to the component member in cooperation with the second grid of apertures. The armature member has at least one custom surface adapted to support the workable material. The component members and armature members are indexable with respect to each other and the base members by registering movement of one member with respect to the other member between coaxial alignment of corresponding apertures in incremental distances equal to the second predetermined distance until positioned as desired. Then the members are secured to one another through the apertures using a suitable fastener.
