I'm currently waiting on some E6000 so that I can attach a reflector behind the vent in the thrower but as usual, I couldn't help tinkering with this a bit today.
Mostly assembling a few bits and applying some decals
I mentioned that there are some quirks to how the hero throwers were painted.
This mostly applies to the guntrack.
You'll notice in my previous post that I had the track laying on a box instead of having it elevated in order to get all round paint coverage.
This is because the underside of the track which faces up when it's attached to the thrower is unpainted.
The disks are also painted in situ, with the rear disk then being flipped later in production to be used as a washer which holds on the S-Hook.
You can see evidence of this in the following images.
Ramis hero pack, paint left around the edge of the disk
Superhero pack, paint around the edge of the disk and a circle of bare metal underneath the S-Hook where the disk was painted in place.
And my recreation of it:
The retention knob for the pop mech lever was also painted black on all of the hero throwers apart from the Murray hero.
You can see this during the movie and theres evidence of the paint left on all but the Murray hero today.
I also added some of the aluminium knobs and the front barrel collar spacers.
That was all I dared to do for today until the vent reflector is in there.
Once that's done though, I'll be able to run my wiring and reassemble the rest of it.
