Thrower Update

It's been a while since I've worked on my equipment, mainly due to weather non conducive to painting, lack of funds to buy the last few parts, and having my normal hobby time slot occupied by spending most nights sleeping next to a toddler.  However, most of those issues are working their way out.  The little guy is getting better on his own at night, the weather warmed up enough this week for some priming and painting, and by the end of the weekend all of my missing parts should be en route to my house.

With that being said, here's some pictures of where it sits tonight.





Once again my painting came out sub par, but I went ahead and reassembled it to see what imperfections would be covered by other parts or labels.  I still might go back and do some sanding and touch up painting, or just sand some places bare and call it weathering.

I'm still missing the cylinder the green hose connects to, the long front handle, and the grips.  I ordered some awesome grips from the UK today, the cylinder is paid for and just waiting to be shipped along with the front handle when my supplier finishes welding them up in the next few days.  Everything else is bought and sitting in a box ready to attach right after those other pieces are good to go.

Once the thrower is done, I'll install the sound kit, battery, and speaker in the pack and I'll be done with this bad boy.

Thanks for reading.
