Smoothed down pieces on the pack and did a quick paint color test before I make the first mold. You can see I found brown hose for the packs. Ray still likes the old thrower.

I cut out a pocket in the pack and glued in a magnet to show how flush they will sit.

Here’s the “real” packs thanks to Joeghostbuster.

And here’s the paint up.

I started to fabricate the new “cartoon” thrower. I have to take some liberties with the design to make it easier to cast in one piece.

Looking great. Good job on the quick paint, just to get the idea out there. Liking the start to the cartoon thrower as well. These are really going to put the original toys in dust.

Capt I would also be intrested in a set of these packs. A set I guessing would be 4? Id even take them un painted i would like to make them look like the movie. Awsome stuff.

I did up the new thrower and put on a quick coat of cartoon paint to see how it looks. I made it flat on the bottom to make it easier to mold and so I can cast it without getting too many bubbles in the resin.

Ray seems to think the balance is pretty good.

And now Ray will bench test it on [Slimer](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/characters/slimer).

Looks like it works!

sweet, so are you completely making a customer [particle thrower](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/particle-thrower) or using the ones that come with the pack ? either way those are great. Fantastic job.

I only have the purple packs and none of them came with throwers. I understand that they had big clunky clips on them and didn’t resemble the throwers much. The orange “gun” came with one of the Ecto lots I bought. I cut it down and used it as a thrower for the “movie packs”. The cartoon thrower is scratch built from styrene.

I tried to make a peg and hole system to hold the throwers on the packs, much like the Matty Mattel’s. That didn’t work out to be a very solid solution, so it’s on to plan “B”.

Capt I thought you mentioned using little magnets to attach the pack the RGB back and also for the gun to attach to the pack?
