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.
Comments, please.
awesome work!
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.
looking good! cant wait to buy a couple sets of these!
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.
Looks like it works!

So, Vinny, what do you think?
that looks awsome capt. great work.
WOW VERY GOOD WORK !!! :crunch:
Sweeeeeeeet! The problem is that now I can’t decide which thrower i want??? Awesome stuff Cap!
Amazing job. I would be interested in a set of each (4 movie and 4 cartoon)
I’d be in for a set of 4 movie packs.
sweet, so are you completely making a customer 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”.
Ooooh I can’t wait to see what Plan B is…
It’s an emergency contraceptive.
is that over the counter yet in the states?
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?
No, I didn’t and yer spoilin’ th’ plan B announcement. :lol:
I ordered up smaller magnets for the throwers, I should have them by Wednesday.
Sweet!!
sorry for ruining the surprise, I could’ve sworn I read it somewhere…
