Was only able to get the biceps trimmed out today. Used an X-Zacto to score and snap based on the trim lines. That was a lot harder than I thought but I started to get the hang of it on the second piece. Sanded down the edges with a dremel and took a final pass with some regular sand paper. Feels like progress.

Started with cleaning up the return edges on the bucket. Before: After: Lenses put back in: Will wait to do the other work of plasti dipping the inside of the bucket, putting in padding in place of the hard hat system, and cleaning up some of the over spray on the teeth. It's 8 degrees F here in Iowa today and plasti dipping in my basement is probably not a good idea. So onto the trimming.

Getting things unboxed and setup.

This is my very first armor build so any tips, tricks, and suggestions are very welcome. It's definitely going to be a slow one. Working full time and attending grad school, so I'm trying to squeeze some build work in as I can. You can find my E11 Blaster build here. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32624-suprsloth-doopydoos-e11-blaster-build/ And of course we'll start off with the big brown box pic.

Here's the finished product. Definitely not as detailed or awesome as a lot of the builds I've been following on this site. But I'm still pretty happy with the results.

1. The screws for the grip to the body are different lengths. One was about .5" and one was slightly shorter. They go all the way to the inside but not past the black plastic inside the main barrel. This is because the receiver bolt needs to pass over top of this area. I also used two pins towards the front where I couldn't put screws as well. 2. I drilled out and used full length screws in the muzzle. Don't use very long screws and I found tapping the holes helped as well. Thanks for the positive words. It's been fun and challenging.

Finally had a chance to make some more progress this weekend. Ground out the end cap. Added some hardware to the scope Made a scope rail Mounted the counter and the scope to the rail. Painted all the parts. Started with a grey primer. Then a simple flat black for all the parts except for the grip which I did in gloss black. Letting everything dry over night and hopefully finish assembly this week.

Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Already have the broken items repaired just waiting for the glue to fully dry. I thought the dowel is a bit big as well. I'll see what the next smaller size looks like. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Hi all. This is my first build of anything of this type. I'm doing a fair amount of mods but definitely not going all in at this point. Here's what I was able to accomplish this weekend. Hardware in the grip. Hollowed out the stock to place a wooden dowel. Hardware in the muzzle Made the inner bolt and spring Made a movable trigger with a spring from a pen. Broke and glued three parts including the selector switch, front sight, and a part of the folding stock. I think I've now learned to be a bit more careful with the small parts. [emoji1]

Amazing reference thanks for putting this together!
