New! Rubber E-11 Blasters in Europe

[Volumino]

Hey troops,

 

I've got good news for you and especially those who live in Europe.

my project began already last year and now we're getting closer.

 

I think it's time to share it.

 

We'll probably be ready in September because we're now working on the prototype and on the steel molds. The blaster will base on the original Sterling Parts a real scope and hengstler counter. The blaster will be full rubber so it will have the same features as the sci-fire blaster. It will be resistable against falling down and it won't be able to break. Our blaster will feature some more details to make it all get more accurate.

 

Unfortunetly we still don't have any pictures but I also don't think that there would be anything interesting to show. When the prototypeand the mould will be ready, I'll upload some pictures for sure.

 

At first we're planning to da the "A new hope" version, but who knows, if everything goes right, why shouldn't we make other blasters.

 

The good thing is, that rubber blasters will be available in Europe.

 

Cheers Volumino

Well Kevin, this is exciting. Let's see what comes from that! Exactly what we need in Europe - something similar to hyperfirm stuff.

Good luck sir

[TANGO'D FETT]

Beat me to it too , this was on my to do list in urethane rubber

[Rich330[TK]]

Ooh! Very interesting!

[Locitus[Admin]]

Very interesting indeed!

[Ogait-Nas]

That sounds great Can you tell us how much would the blaster price aproximately? Will it be in the same range of the sci-fire blaster?

Great news to hear! I`m looking forward to see some pictures and I`d really appreciate it if you decided to make other versions too!

Hey,

 

I think it's too early to talk about the price but as the production of this blasters is really expensive because of the aluminium molds and a special procedure, I think the price will be similar to the sci-fire blasters.

Quick Update:

 

The Prototype will be ready next week and then we can start doing the molds.

[Volumino]

As long as I can do mods to the prototype I wanted to ask you IF you prefer

 

I) the cocking handle of the sterling? OR

 

 

 

II) the cocking handle used on Bapty's E-11 Blaster?

 

 

 

Would be nice to hear your opinion!

 

Cheers Volumino

[Turrican]

I would prefer the look of the real sterling cocking lever.

As i read you use real sterling parts, a real hengstler and real scope for the mastermould.

So why not use all real sterling parts to come close as possible.

[Nassik]

Agreed. Go for the real Sterling cocking lever.

[Spaar[TK]]

I`d vote for the real one too.

[Billhag]

Real Sterling cocking handle

The Babty's ones were only fitted on the 'Dummies' that they had made up from deact's

 

 

 

[Volumino]

Your wishes are my command!

[Volumino]

Ill try to get some pictures of the prototype till the end of the week

 

Cheers Kevin

What happened here?

Was the project shut down?

Would be interesting to see this blaster.

You may want to email or PM Volumino, he hasn't been on the FISD in seven months.
