About Infinity Vessel Karauna Toi Kakahu
Ko Infinity Vessel he karauna karaehe i hangaia hei toi kakahu. Ka hangaia ia karauna kia rite pū ki tōna ine, nō reira ka ū noa ki te māhunga o te kaimau kotahi. Mā te matawai 3D e hopu ai te āhua tūturu o te māhunga, kātahi ka hangaia te karauna mai i te karaehe pupuhi-ā-waha mā ngā tikanga tuku iho. Kei ia taonga ōna ake āhuatanga motuhake. Ko te rahi toharite he 25 x 25 x 25 henemita. I kōwhiria te karaehe mō tōna pakarukaru me tōna kaha, me te āhua o te whiti o te mārama i roto i taua rauemi. Ka whakaata te karauna i te tuakiri motuhake o te tangata e mau ana.
