  1. Any news on this? Looking for a baton. Hope Peter delivers for those who have not gotten theirs
  2. I placed an order for one, fingers and toes crossed that the wait is a short one
  3. Eric- No problem, and thanks for the feedback. Good timing because I had some free time (first time in weeks) to take some additional photos. 1. Photo of butt to cod/crotch connection- * * 2. Photo of wrist forearm return (as in lack there of) (also see the foam which I currently use to keep forearms in place) * * 3. Photo of ab and kidney plates- * I think I messed this up by not placing the rivets on the shim as shown in the screen capture below. (found this screen capture after the build was done ) I think I would need to remove the rivets from the kidney plate???? * * * * * * 4. Photo of greaves, left and right- The AP armor greaves are wonky. The plastics natural set (form) was to fall in the direction shown. Which left or right (if any) are correct. I think I can fix either one. * * 5. Blaster spring- (do you want to see the spring out of my Doppys blaster? I will work on the other comments as my time permits. May be several weeks. Still mad at myself for forgetting the knee pack rivets....argghhhh. Regarding the AP armor sniper knee is a major pain in the rear to align. Majorly wonky. It took us a good 45 minutes of fighting to get it to this state.
  4. No problem. THANKS for the feed back. I have been putting off this submission for almost a year. Needed to redo my side shims and a few other tweaks. Plus waited forever for TK boots to deliver. It's always great to have another set of eyes look things over. A couple of things (like the knee rivet) I completely dropped the ball on that. I am Such an idiot. I was just proud that I got the bloody thing to stay in place with glue. Regarding forearms- I have never seen anyone add a strap from the forearm to the bicep. I took out my foam padding inside the right forearm for some dumb reason that day. I think my forearms are at the correct position. (except for the right one which slipped down) They start at the wrist bone. Yes my forearms do not have a return. Not 100% sure what you mean by camouflaging my side shims.
  5. I used Loctite brand Super Glue Gel to put my Doopy's together. PROS- 1. It is not runny like water. 2. You have a few seconds to move your parts around before it sets. 3. A year plus later I have had zero parts fall off. 4. It does not take long to cure. CONS- 1. You can stick your fingers together just like Super Glue 2. A bit $$$$ 3. I am sure there are more...
  6. This is my "suggested" mounting location for the Doopy's M38 Scope.
  7. As I always say "A picture is worth a thousand words"
  8. OK sorry for the long delay. This is my "suggested" mounting location for the Doopy's M38 Scope.
  9. OK - so the three photos I picked of Han, Luke and Leia all use the M19 scope. I thought as much, but wanted to check. Dradts !!! . So back to my original question/statement. The doopy's comes with the M38 scope (see massive close up shot below). Would the M38 rear scope foot align with the folding stock hinge?
  10. Thanks OH so the scope that comes with a Doopy's is an M38
  11. OK you experts. I am attempting to come up with a scope mounting location for the Doopy’s resin kit. I figured my location by using the three photos of Han, Luke and Leia holding their blasters. I know how wide the rear sight is. I measure it at 1-1/32†wide. So it looks to me like the end of the scope is three rear sights up the gun (see the Leia image). I looked around the FISD forum and was only able to find a reference at this thread- http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/14817-advanced-anh-weaponry-e-11-blaster/
  12. MODIFICATIONS NOT INCLUDED IN RESIN KIT- MOUNTING FOLDING STOCK (optional) I was a bit paranoid at just gluing the folding stock to the main barrel. My resin stock was a bit warped and did not sit square, without some major torque/twisting. I decided to screw the folding stock to the main barrel. Step #1- Drill hole completely thru the folding stock. Hole diameter should be clearance hole for your screw threads to pass thru. Step #2- Drill another hole in first hole. This hole should be a little bigger than your screw head. The depth of this hole should be a little below the surface. You will come back and fill in this hole with putty, bondo, etc… Step #3- (YOU WILL DO THIS STEP TWO TIMES, or ON BOTH SIDES) Drill pilot hole in the round part of the main barrel. (This is the pivot point for the folding stock) ((if your stock was able to fold)) Drill small hole for threads to pass thru in folding stock. Drill another hole on top of the first hole in folding stock. This hole should be a little bigger than your screw head. The depth of this hole should be a little below the surface. You will come back and fill in this hole with putty, bondo, etc… Step #4- Align your folding stock holes to the pilot holes in main barrel. Insert your mounting screws. Step #5- I used JB Weld Steel - Stick Putty to fill in the holes. I also used this to build up the two pivot points or what I am calling buttons. Step #6- Sand, Paint and FINISH
  13. PLEASE add me to the wish list and make it fot TWO sets. Any guess at the ETA?
