Ok, so now that the Pack is practically finished bar electronics/sound and weathering, it’s time to begin the thrower.
So here is a pic of all the parts needed to make up the thrower. The white toilet roll holder is now redundant as i gave up on implamenting the extending barrel idea, mainly due to the fact that i wanted the hat light at the tip of the barrel to light up and this would cause a bit of hassle with the wires. The Gun Kit im using is Nick-a-tron’s who also made all my resin bits for the pack.
I forgot to include the clear barrel tube in the pic above so here it is lol!!
The job was to cut out the bar graph section, the hole for the handle and drill all the holes for the switches, clip lights, hat lights and atatchments.
I also drilled the holes on the bottom of the Gun Body for the bottom plate to screw on. I also glued in some fitings for the cap screws to screw into. Unfortunately one of the screws would have been right at the end of the post so i used some fillers to make it up a bit.
Next it was time to attach the Gun knobs to the body…yes i know i screwed up on this, but i did fix it i promise…keep reading to find out how. I also attatched the Heatsink to the otherside of the body. For this i used 4 cap screws and small amount of Super Glue for added security.
Of course once that was done, it was time to accidentaly drop the thing on the concrete floor and smash the fins of the Heatsink into loads of tiny sections…at this point i was ready to fire the whole lot across the room and give up altogether with the build/costume, but JT calmed me down a little and we worked on supergluing all the sections back on again to make the best of a bad situation considering the thing was stuck to the gun body and i really didn’t want to start pulling it apart if it was salvageable.
