Re: you can say its a WIP

How does the pressure pot work? I am trying to get some parts made up, but bubbles SUCK!

I'm looking forward to this progress if for no other reason to get some tips on casting.

Re: you can say its a WIP

Probably a silly question, but are these made from resin or some sort of rubber?

Aoshima should shut down its regular production lines for a month and make nothing but stretchwalls

Re: you can say its a WIP

So are these a larger diameter than the Kai parts? What's the difference between the chiki chiki stretchwalls and the Kai stretchwalls?
