I'm Batman

They were meant to be wonky weren't they? Matches my mind!

No, not normally. A lot of people don;t put one in as they have quite a thick wall, plus the plastic inner tube. The blaster will look better if you can incorporate it though.

Oooh. A spring in there. From Doopy, or a separate acquisition?

Haha, sorry mate. I'm a bit slow....

"Probably the best out there". Gotta be worth at least 200 pounds https://www.gumtree.com/p/hobbies-collectibles/stormtrooper-helmet-replica-/1150547440

I got some from ATA only a few months back. He was super quick in replying and shipped out in a few days.

Nice!

I think you've moved the wrong thread. This one is still here. Below one is on the For Sale section http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35027-tfa-f-11d-3d-blaster-build/

Wow! You don't mess around...

I use Safari on a Mac. Don't think it happens to me. It is annoying Brian, isn't it?

Looks fantastic Tahitoa! Has to be one the best looking Rubies around. Sanding those bulging T-tracks makes a big difference, doesn't it? If I were to change one thing, it would be to lower the angle of the clearing strip visible on the bolt. Theoretically it would be visible in the slot, so the angle to be lower at the rear. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/#entry414376 And if I were to add one thing, it would be a little more detail on the magazine. Perhaps a flat plate and bubble on the end of the magazine. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/#entry414356 Unfortunately, as it stands the Deployment Officers won't allow a Rubies for EIB or Centurion (maybe the length of the blaster has something to do with it), but a little birdie tells me there may be some changes in the future... However, I don't think ANY 'toy' guns will ever be allowed for Centurion. Well done mate.

Dunno really. Probably best for PP owners or Sterling owners to answer. I know the PP are extremely accurate and not really sure if a Sterling will give you anything extra other than weight?? Although I guess it will give you the trigger, metal on metal feel with the end cap, etc. I guess, nothing beats the real thing, but the PP is darn close (for a lot less $$ and weight).

Tino's (T-Jay) completion set http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28444-fs-completion-sets-for-e-11-resin-kits-with-worldwide-insured-shipping-and-paypal/ together with Derreks' kit which is mostly, if not all, cast from an actual Sterling only recently http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/28047-phoenix-props-e-11-stormtrooper-blaster-kits-a-new-hope-and-esb/ Will give you one of the best E-11s possible. There is quite a few threads already in the build section using Phoenix Props or Doopy Doos and T-Jays kit. They all look awesome.

Nice work. Is that just a copy and paste of the page reference into the first post?

Not sure why (apart from the bendy T-tracks), but the current Deployment Officers won't allow the Rubies blaster. See below thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/33994-rubies-e-11-conversion-for-eib/

Short answer - Yes, you can use it and it will be fine. Long answer. There's an awful lot of inaccuracies with the airsoft, that unless you want something that will fire the pellets, you're spending an awful lot of money on something that is not as accurate as a $70- Doopy Doos.

Just did

That's odd that one DO sets a precendence one way, then other DO's change it. Oh well... Sly and Ukswrath - Are builders recommended to fill in that nice work Mark has done with the AP kidney plate to move the notch further forward? It's hard to see actual screen caps of the notch as most are covered by the belt, but most images of the armour in the gallery actually show the notch right back at the join to the butt, not near the front. Can you clarify your decision here please so other builders who are using the 'search' feature can find the answer. Marks (AP) pic below for reference --------------

Scope is totally wrong too. Looks like a hybrid M19 and something else. Placed about 4 inches too far forward making the whole blaster look odd

What would people say to a prospective 501st recruit who has bought this armour? A new guy in our Garrison has just announced in his welcome thread that he has bought an Anovos helmet and Furry Props armour. I've been googling, to no avail until now...

Come on Tino.... I expected more from you! Surely you could have executed your surgeon like precision to get the aluminium plate around the rotary switch? Nice thought to wire up the switch - perhaps an alternating red/blue light for kill/stun?

More progress being made, slowly.... Got lots of parts on order, patiently waiting.... Got Tino's completion set in today. Only got a few items as a lot of the detail isn't required in my build, but most helpful. And those famous jelly's! Thanks mate. Main thing I'm waiting on which a lot of other ideas are reliant on, is my rear Stock. Awaiting this to be 3D printed for me. Will post pics when I have something half-exciting to show. Also got a bit sidetracked as we have a troop coming up in a couple of weeks - a Convoy for Cancer where motorcycles and trucks convoys to raise money for Cancer. And I've decided to ride in Snowtrooper kit, so I'm trying to make my motorbike helmet look like a snowtrooper! Pics to come

Hey Aaron. Could you clarify that technique just one more time? LOL

Good job Andrew. They come up pretty good, don't they? If not too late, can you reverse the angle of the strip on the bolt? It should be left/right, top to bottom.

Looks great Aaron. Cylinders came up a treat. Only constructive criticism I could offer, is that the clearing strips on your bolt don't line up (between the fixed doopy section and your custom rear section) and stood out to me a bit. Love the weathering though. Fantastic work.
