I will have to try one of the newer SP Design releases, I bought something in the past but the resin quality was bad. Hope it's better now since they make lots of cool stuff.
Kind regards, Sven.

Yes Sven,it is a LOT better. Sergej now uses pressure casting methods for the resin and vacuum pulling for de-airing the rubber molds. MUCH better moldings now, that i hoped the pictures showed.
