GBNerds Aluminum Proton Thrower Build...

A few friends and I recently decided to build some Ghostubusters costumes for Halloween 2012. We decided to start on the thrower. It’s probably one of the more complicated parts to build since the majority of the parts are custom made.

Certainly off to a good start! Glad to see you’re taking your time and not rushing it for this year. :cool:

Definately a very good start, looks very nice and clean :slight_smile:

We are working with the help of some very good people from the boards here. Without the help, we’d be making drawings from photo reference trying to determine scale. I’m machining parts to get the prototype thrower complete so we can move to the mechanism inside for the spring loaded tube.

Came for the awesome aluminum throwers, stayed for the awesome aluminum throwers.

Oh if you must know…It’s Vincenzo330 that is helping us make all the cool stuff.

Sorry Vince. I ratted you out. Now everyone will know that you are a nice guy. You’re screwed!

I’m jelly.

Jelly? Why?

Aluminum throwers are awesome, I’m jealous.

Oh…lol. You’re throwers are spectacular!

Thank you! I am anxious to see how these turn out.

Seeing this makes me happy inside. Vince has me hooked on Aluminum parts now… Jerk…

I just found a ton of these in our electronics room. Are these the correct lamps and lenses?

Hard to tell scale with that picture but no, they’re not right. Depending on how big they are they might be a viable alternative for the slow-blo light though.

oralé postmortem, you’re one of the vatos i met at sean’s right?

That is correct. How are you?

good, thanks. this thrower is looking badass. cant wait to see what else you guys crank out over there :cool:

LOL. Me too.

Tonight’s agenda…

I’m making the trigger box things and mounting them. Welding the trigger to the ring thing. Welding in the top knob on the body. Attaching the palm rest things, etc. Gotta turn up the acrylic tube tonight too.

can’t wait to this the progress! Aluminum thrower builds are better than porn :lol:
