I haven't wanted to post anything before I got some solid work done, but with my project coming along nicely, now is the time. I've started out with a Nick-a-tron shell on this project, acquired last year, and have slowly been building my way up.
The thrower box itself is pretty much done, and now needs the handle and barrel worked on, along with the electronics.
Provided that I can stop shocking myself in the process. I've got a Crix kit so far for sound and lights, and it's been hella fun learning some electrical skills in the process.
I've also got my old SANDF H-Frame, which I'll be bidding a not too unfond farewell to when I take a blowtorch to it and get it into the proper shape.
More stuff is on the way, for which I'll be dedicating weekends to in time for an October convention, but I feel like I'm making decent headway so far.
Now, seeing as how this was my very first time building one of these, I decided to chuck authenticity out of the window and build something that I knew that I would be comfortable with. Besides, there's always plenty of time to get a movie-accurate kit done. Like for project two, amirite?
So I used screws. Lots and lots of screws to assemble the bulk of the gun together. Best bit? Tap those screws right, and I can actually rotate my resin dials.
