there is a language problem with Masa.. i emailed him a week or so after the original offer for the FNP.. and asked about the casing.. he had told me that he had a hard time with english, and it was apparent..
the case was cast from negative silicone moulds, and the "kit" that you received did have flashing, and needed alot of final fitting and handwork to function.. and, since this was the way that they were producing them, this was the reason for the high costs.. it was 500.00 for the casing.. plus shipping and the wait for the casing parts.. some of the casings were tinted, one neon green, one a blue color.. the tint was mixed into the clear resin..
all of the materials are readily available on the net.. tint, resins, and casting silicone kits.. there is a "releaser" powder that you need to coat the interior with.. that is out there too..
here is a good site to start at..
