Jesse and I had a great time in China, visiting multiple factories that cover all the aspects of what we are manufacturing. Looking at the process of roto-casting in action is always interesting and getting a close look at the Armodoc molds was a highlight. It's a different method than the vinyl slush molding we would see in Japan. While we were at the paint factory we experimented with a bunch of different techniques. Chun, a master painter there, is always fun to work with. We speak the universal language of "Lunatic Painter" to communicate. Jesse went nuts over the killer adhesion that the PVC paint had, super powerful and durable stuff. As always the trip was informative and worth every second thanks to our partner Paul. His knowledge and connections seem to have no limits. Japan up next...

ReplyDeleteI love the coloring of the 2 Armodoc tests.
ReplyDeleteWOW, rotocast molds are very interesting to look at. I didn't know what they were until I looked a bit closer. Cool stuff all around, thanks for sharing pics with us. :-D
ReplyDeleteGreat pics from the trip, very interesting to see the molds I would have thought they were rusty old junk if you hadn't labeled the pictures. Thanks for sharing! Did I see silver Callgrims in there?
ReplyDeleteYEEEAAH!! I need to see this stuff first hand!! S cool to see these pics. Look how crazy those molds look!! How does something so stunning come out of something so barbaric?
ReplyDeleteThe tests are actually pretty insane, and seeing the molds is a bit of a shock -- as someone else already said, you'd peg 'em for rusty junk before anything else.
ReplyDeleteSo there'll be a "Part Two: Japan" coming up? If so, can't wait!
