I got a pressure pot yesterday from Harbor Freight. May not seem like a big deal but it is to me. Finally I’ll be able to cast small resin parts bubble free. The idea here is you mix resin, place it in your small silicone molds and put it inside this pressure pot. Then increase the pressure to around 30 pounds and it forces the resin into all the tiny areas of the mold crushing the bubbles. No waste and a perfect part every time.
I did some more on the Star Destroyer. Still waiting for my lights to get here I started to drill holes, rigged some fiber optics, finalized the base fitting and did the wiring to the power sources for the lights. Works great!
Lastly I built a test frame for the Cooper. Now I’m on the net tirelessly locating the correct sized and shaped tires, wheels and incerts for this car. Time to build a car and see how she runs.
