I masked off the areas that were not being done with hammerite and sprayed that on top of the primer then removed masking tape and sprayed satin black where required as the hammerite was a gloss finish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Figured it would be a pain in the chucks to import. Hadn't considered a rubber blaster seriously before as the details weren't as sharp as resin or pipe builds but this one had me considering it. I think I'll stick with my doopydoo for trooping and build other pretty things for display [emoji16] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just found this thread and it is a goldmine of information for me as I'm intending to start a sterling conversion soon and this is the first time I have found someone showing how they drilled a genuine hengstler for mounting. Fantastic work and an awesome looking blaster. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I used hammerite on my doopydoo resin blaster after laying down a good even undercoat/primer. Gave a good look. As Joseph said make sure you mask off well to avoid getting it everywhere. It is a pain in the wookie to get it off the little intricate areas if you overspray. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is what put us all here. Thank the Maker. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The nerves will fade as you get further into your build. I took me over a year to finish my armour as I was scared of messing it up but the support you will find here will help you get past any obstacle. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It's all cool Brian. Am happy to wait until you're sorted. [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

This is like waiting on Christmas. Hurry santa Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You're doing great here and you're following some great threads. I followed the same people's work and made it all the way to centurion. You can do it too. Looking forward to seeing this all come together for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't think anyone would even notice if the lenses are not perfect as they will be too busy just admiring your scopes [emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The more work that goes into this project, the more money I feel myself HAVING to spend.

Lovely armour. Well done and congrats on your centurion approval [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Brian McDavid 18910 EIB A4 Andrew Thanks in advance sir You are very welcome! http://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/18910-eib.png

Thanks Shane. This was my first venture into prop building while waiting on the courage to get stuck into my armour. I took my time and this was the end result. Doopydoo are brutal for non-communication but the kit is good if you are prepared to work at it. It would appear that parts of some of their molds are starting to give up with details being lost. That is the reason I started replacing parts. I have spent lots more money on more blaster parts for my next two builds. Kinda habit forming That is high praise indeed coming from someone as dedicated to blasters as you. thank you sir I now really regret not doing a build thread Rudi. It would have shown me where not to go wrong again If I can do this first time (second for a few of the parts) I'm sure yours will turn out fantastic. Start a thread and I'll watch eagerly the development of your blaster (and throw in any advice I can, limited though it will be).

Waiting eagerly Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Loving the look of this for a rubber blaster. Very difficult to get a hyperfirm in the UK I'm led to believe but this would be worth trying for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks Mark. All seemed to come together very quickly. Centurion appeared in a blur but I feel honoured to be amongst the legions finest. Got confirmation from Sheranakin about my induction [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Can't wait to wear the armour in earnest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thank you Sir. Onwards and upwards for the glory of the legion and the empire. Thank you for your kind comments on my kit. It's now my duty to live up to the motto of Troopers Helping Troopers and help others in their journey into the ranks of the legion Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Sweet idea. Got a roll of white Velcro in my armour bin. I'll make a point of doing that thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hi All Yes this is another E-11 blaster build, or rather E-11 blaster built! Got my Doopy kit in January last year and sat on it for a while before doing anything with it as I read so many brilliant build threads. This is what made me decide not to do a WIP for my blaster as with this being my first foray into building anything like this I was very reluctant to open my progress to the public (wish I had done a thread just to document what I went through). I'm not going to list all the builds I read constantly as there were so many brilliant people doing amazing things with this simple resin kit, but I feel I need to mention a couple at least. Christopher Pearson (themaninthesuitcase) came into my build in a big way due to his 3D printed parts I used and Tino (T-Jay) for his scary brilliant building skills. Also printed out the FISD E-11 Blaster Reference. Took loads of tips and tricks from this and put my own spin on some of these (hopefully they worked out). Moving away from the standard kit I upgraded several parts and detailing. Got lots of new parts of which many were not used for various reasons Completion kit from Tino – loved the haribo! Magazine from Gazmosis – got 2 as one initially was lost in space but turned up the week after second one arrived. 3D printed parts from Shapeways Designs by: Christopher Pearson (themaninthesuitcase) E-11 Power Cylinders E-11 Stock Cube (not the edible kind) E-11 End Clip E-11 Front Sight with pin Mag Power Cylinders by cboath - Not used - I preferred Chris' parts E-11 Nozzle by gucabe - much more detailed than the Doopy cast nozzle Front Sight Nopip by CFP214 Scope Mod by CFP214 – too short – Not Used Ejector Port Guard by CFP214 – Not Used - ended up sanding and filing the doopy parts. 3D printed scope, lenses and retainer rings by toolguy301 - Not Used. Cool but not detailed enough. Lenses were frosted. Intended to use this after I messed up when I drilled out the original Doopy scope and glued monocular lenses into it with superglue which fogged the lenses and ruined the effect. New Scope from Doopydoos which I drilled out and fitted the lenses from a Coolcase Compact Monocular from Amazon. (Larger lens than the one from Tino and looked more like my genuine scope). Worked hard to get the blaster to this point, filling and sanding and painting. Primer, Hammered finish (not on the t-tracks, grip or scope) then satin finish black. Gloss black on the grip with aluminium on the trigger mechanism. Ejector port had to be repainted as it was not right, got gunmetal spraypaint to re-do it. Not doing weathering on the blaster at the moment, as I am brand new to this so is my blaster Made the inner bolt and charging handle then made up a spring with the wire that was in the completion kit from Tino. Next was to finish up the scope with detailing screws in the front and to highlight the writing. Hengstler detail is a sticker from trooperbay or ebay, I can't remember which. This leaves me with my finished blaster which I am quite pleased with. Time for some photos now.

There are better ones out there but I am quite proud of my first build. Next one will be better I hope Cheers Brian

Thanks for the kind comments Shane. Blaster took only slightly less time to put together than the armour Well worth the effort to go all the way
