I can admit it. He's a spoiled little buster. This will be pack number 2but for him. I did a custom RGB style pack already for him. What can I say, he gets my creativity pumping.

Very cool! Can't wait to see what you do with the cyclotron! I would LOVE to do something like this for my little dude! ... But then again he's bad, so... you know... he probably doesn't deserve it.

That is just friggin' awesome...I wish there was that much dedication for those for real when I had mine as a kid! I went through like 3 or 4 traps because my brother and I would slide them all over the house and just mash the crap out of the pedals. ah... the wonder years... lol

Update Time!
I couldn't find a Kenner thrower so I scratch built a 3/4 scale one. It is made from 2 electrical switch panels and a piece of PVC pipe.
Enjoy, but be easy on me as this is my first thrower scratch build. By joeluna33 at 2011-10-17 By joeluna33 at 2011-10-17 By joeluna33 at 2011-10-17 By joeluna33 at 2011-10-17

Time for another update!
The pack is nearly done. I have been spending so much time working on it I haven't taken any pictures or anything. I was so proud of the light kits I built of the pack I had to shoot a video of it. Sorry in advance for the camera rotation towards the end, I'm a video newb.

Thanks guys.
And I am still up working on it. Since shooting the video I have attached the mobo, and straps. I have to find a suitable acrylic tip for the thrower since the piece I bought was way to small. Other than the acrylic and the parts that attach to it, I am done.
