I'm Batman

Inner Barrel (Brian ). Unfortunately I didn't see Aaron's sale thread with a 3x length barrel, so I went with another similar to my last build. A bit of curtain rod with aluminium discs each end to centre it in the receiver. Have also got some Matt Black paint on the whole blaster. And repainted the T-tracks. I initially painted the tracks gloss black to contrast against the matt black receiver, but I didn't like it. Too shiny. So matt it is for now. Might pick up some satin black and give that a go at some point before they get glued on. Cylinders - I thought long and hard about the cylinders. How to make, who's tutorial to follow, where to buy. In the end, I opted for the oversized DVH ones that came in the kit. Again, no 100% accuracy here, just something that resembles the original. Drilled some holes, 3 metal tubes (well cut down 3inch nails) and some 3mm nuts and bolts. I did obtain some originals from Tino (thank you again), but found they were just too small compared to the oversized cylinders And another size comparison from original (Andy's) and DVH Nearly up to final completion/installation of everything

Very nice

Looks spot on there! Nice job Tino

Hey Scott. Steve has a pretty fancy way of doing it in this thread: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/35356-anovos-helmet-rebuild/ Otherwise, E6000 should work, provided you clamp it for long enough. My kit came with a long rectangular piece that fixed to the screws holding the ears on. There's a pic of mine in my build thread http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/26449-mtk-build-anh-stunt/page-2

No new parts, but I've been working on fixing the rear stock. I wanted it removable just in case I had issues with the spring, slinging bolt, handle, etc, and that's the only access. It also needs to be strong enough to act as the backstop to the spring/bolt mechanism The idea will be for a regular bolt to go through the stock and through both edges of the receiver tube. Previous efforts of lining up a Tap & Die set to be perfectly inline were a bit ordinary, so I cut two holes in the pipe and epoxied nuts into the pipe. This way I could epoxy with the bolt in place ensuring they were in line Hole in the stock and epoxy a tube section to act as support and a stopper for the bolt so it can't be overtightened. Will paint the bolt black too so it blends in more

I only have resin sights on my blasters. Very old molds at that. Hopefully someone with a real sterling will chime in soon for you.

Hmmm, the only problem I ever have is the GS sticking to my fingers rather than the item. A bit of saliva or water on your finger (or the tool you're applying with) seems to rectify that.

Page 146. M77C, but internals will be similar if not the same http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29089-dvh-pipe-build-with-extras/page-8 I think it was Felice (Felix) who posted a dismantle and clean thread (search for his too) that gave me the confidence to pull mine apart.

7 months, and such a highly detailed build thread LOL. Congrats David!

Definitely something on that particular E-11, isn't there? Hard to tell exactly what it is, or what purpose it is serving. Did the movable sight break on that weapon, so they had to fix the scope rail some other way??

Awww, how sweet. LOL! 1. Buy a deactivated Sterling. Ship it to @Usaeatt2 to do the metalwork and polishing, then to @T-Jay to do the resin work

First of, welcome James! Maybe post an intro thread in the Welcome Section also. "Best Quality One?" That will be subjective, mainly based on price. I'd suggest you spend a bit of time a little bit further down the page here: http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/forum/127-anh-blastech-e11/ And have look at a few of the builds. You'll be able to see what different people do with the various kits. Be sure to check out the E-11 reference, in my signature below.

Messaged him via eBay, he listed a bunch straight away. Never ended up getting pricing, decided to scratch build my 660mm long t-tracks myself. He was good to deal with up to me deciding not to proceed though.

LOL. Thanks mate

Sounds familiar...

Thanks Tino. Looking back at the blaster before I moved the bipod, it looks so much better, so thanks for the suggestion again. No, hadn't thought about wires on the tracks. To the untrained, I don't think they would mean anything anyway - even some DLT's don't have the wires, only when they get picked up for SWAT or Centurion. I'm thinking of leaving it cleaner for now. Unfortunalty I'll have to postpone this build for a while (although not much left to do) - I need to finish my Mouse droid for a Con in 2 weeks!

I feel fine, but thank you for asking

Nice work. It is satisfying when you see the end result, isn't it? I've done my fair share of aluminium holes too (LOL if you've seen my sniper rifle build), and my wife goes off at me all the time about the metal shavings. She's a little easier on me know that my current project is styrene based

For those with a keen eye, you'll see the front sight guard has come off. I had previously 'fixed' the lower shape of it with greenstuff to suit the diameter of my pipe. The epoxy stayed stuck to the pipe (and the GS), but the GS separated from the resin guard. I'll have to have another look to see if I can get away without using any GS.

Thanks Brian. Appreciate the feedback. But remember, it's not how long it is, but how you use it....

Fix up your photo bucket links LOL

Thanks Aaron! T-Track time. I got Roy and Marv to give me quotes on like 3.5 metres of T-track. (well, Marv never got back to me...) and at over $100- I started looking for other solutions. A local member said he could come through with a product, but never eventuated, so back to making my own out of 2mm sheet styrene. As mentioned a few times, I was never going for all out E-11 accuracy with this build, so this was another compromise I had to make. Instead of doing a simple 10mm flat x 8mm high (or whatever the exact measurements are), to give the vertical piece more strength, I went with a 8mm high piece in centre, supported by 2 x 4mm wide sections on the flat, so the vertical is sandwiched between the two. Hopefully that will keep it in place. You know me by know, fairly rough pictures now showing the construction, finish will be done at the end will final sand/paint. And then I decided to fill those front holes too Bulks up the whole weapon nicely I think. Thanks for checking in.

That's contradictory to the previous DO's advice. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/27625-help-needed-to-apply-for-eib-centurion-status/ Certainly not going to say anyones right or wrong. Heaven forbid.... But you would think each set of armour needs to go through the approval, EIB, Centurion process each time. And I think the current Centurion procedure asks for a link to your current EIB status.

Hey Jaimie. Nice build. 2 things jump out at me - forearms look huge on you. I think they could come in quite a bit (unless you have abominable snowman hands) and your side rivets and thigh ammo pack look like, well, not rivets, more like cut out bits of abs... Good luck

Another highly detailed set of updates Tino! What's the side profile of that front sight guard now. Top view looks like it's bending back on itself a bit. Is it noticeable from the side? And really, next up "a bit longer"'?? Come on....
