Very very cool. I would be interested in a set of each too.
awsome 
Two steps forward and one step back :-x I fixed the thrower height by relocating the magnet.. I also reduced the bubble trouble by purchasing a slower setting resin that had a longer pot life and allowed me to finesse the casting pours to eliminate any trapped air. This was all good stuff. What I didn’t take into account is that a longer curing time would allow the resin to wick up along the “hose”, resulting in very dark and stiff section comming out of the packs and throwers.
Louis has the quick casted pack and Ray has the one made from slower setting resin. I even tried sanding the outer resin off but it still shows discolor and is quite stiff. Note how high the hose loops on Ray’s pack, it should be more like the other.
Fortunatly, I can go back to using the quicker setting resin so I’ve ordered a new batch. I’ll just have to cast them one at a time instead of a set st a time.
While I’m waiting for the new resin, I started tinkering with the “Cartoon” thrower.
I added that square hand guard to the thrower barrel, now the guys won’t burn their fingers off.
It also makes the thrower a little less stick like.
nice work as always Capt
Thanks for the pats on the back and hanging around to see how this plays out.
I just finished casting up Vinny’s request last night. The faster resin still wicks into the hoses but only about a quarter of an inch so they look and sit much better.
I started out with the idea of making the “Cartoon” packs as a 2 piece item: the magnetic peg and the pack itself. Something that would be quick and easy, no muss, no fuss. The “Movie” pack added itself to the mix and as I went along, small problems popped up that had to be remedied. In the end, both the packs turned into a four piece kit. The pack and thrower top, the thrower bottom, the heat sink and the peg for the figure. There is some sanding, gluing and painting involved on your part in finishing the packs.
Here is a picture of the mold set ups and the tools I use to make the packs.
There is another change besides the increase from 2 to 4 pieces. The peg and pack magnets are inbedded into the resin but the thrower magnets are glued in. The reason for this is because the pack and thrower magnets were too close to each other in the molds and the thrower magnet would not stay in place. Due to the location of the 2nd magnet in the thrower bottom, these have to be drilled and then glued in.
Making these up is a slow go because the fast setting black resin has a pot life (working time) of about 2 minutesand it seems to starts as soon as the 2 liquids touch. That gives me enough time to pour 2 to 4 parts depending on their size and where the bubbles usually get trapped. I mention this because I will get to everyone’s request on this list up to now, but it’s gonna take time on my part and patients on yours. I will pm you when I have cast up your set(s) of packs so they will be ready to go. In the event you have changed your mind, I will pm the next person and so on untill the list is depleated.
Anyone who adds a request after this post will have a very long wait and most likely an increase in price due to the extra amount of work on my part to make these packs. Sorry.
I will be adding a tutorial to this thread on how to finish the packs in a few days.
They look amazing Cap! Makes me want to get even more RGB figures now 
I still want to buy them from you Capt but if you could provide a brief tutorial on how to assemble and finish them, and what kind of paints to use to detail them etc that would be great
CaptCyan, I guess I’m a little late, but could you put me on your list for a Set of 4 Movie Packs, please and thank you! 
Capt thses packs are sweet. take ur time, must be tedious.
take your time they well be worth the wait.i saw the other post about the firehouse awsome work.
Small (not) tutorial on how to put the “Movie” packs together. Works the same for the “Cartoon” packs as well.
Painting tutorials to follow.
thanks!
Welcome.
Painting portion part 1 posted.
I received my packs over the weekend. They look PHENOMINAL!!!
I haven’t had time to take any pics yet but honestly I don’t think pics do them justice anyway. Mine look even better than I was expecting from the pictures posted here.
As soon as I can I’ll get them thrown together and get everything ready for display.
Thanks Cap, you’re the man!
agreed, I got mine today and the attention to detail/molding/sculpting is terrific! cant wait to assemble and detail these beauties!
If you look at them through a 10X jewelers loupe, they will look pretty much like the pictures.
Please let me know if there are any spots in the tutorials that are unclear. Doing them is one thing but writing about doing them is a lot tougher than it sounds.
For those that have requested, I’ll be working on them starting tomorrow when I finish up the current tutorial. I’ll pm you as I get them done.
Thanks!
thanks for the tutorials they are great cant wait to get my hands on those packs.
Im still intrested capt
got my set of movie packs. These are sweet capt. I will post some pics when i get around too putting them together and painting them.
Hey capt, I am interested in one of the cartoon packs, and one of the movie packs.
