E-11 blaster for centurion standards

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

The grip comes seperate to the trigger and trigger guard, normally they are to be glued on, I decided to make mine functional, not that hard to do

That resin Hengstler upgrade with real counter numbers is fantastic!!

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Thanks for all of the praise guys, makes me feel like I'm on the right track

 

Front sight glued on

 

 

 

I have made the side selector so I can adjust the setting

Holy hell, I just bought a Hyperfirm and (no offence, Lewis!) now I have blaster envy. lol

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Armor envy is worse lol

 

Just tidying up a bit of the electrics, lazer is in the front. Looks good when you fire at something you can see where you have hit

 

 

 

I sourced the lazer from this builders level

 

 

 

I found a plastic bottle that just fits over the front piece, takes up the gap in the pipe, shame the pipe in Aus is a bit bigger, not to worry fits snuggly and allows me to be able to take the lights out if one blows. I used a small piece of wire to hold the two hi-bright leds, keeps them central in the barrel.

 

 

 

And here the lights working

Fitting the sound board, battery box and speaker into the spring, snug but fits

Few mods to the scope, had to do a bit of grinding first

I know Clamps lol I took your idea and just made the figure a bit larger, then thought I may have a go at a few different ones

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Here are a couple more

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Black is on and drying nicely

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

First fit of painted pieces, now on to a bit of weathering then a coat of satin sealer, may have to wait a few days, back to cold wet weather this week

 

 

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

With a bit of weathering

 

[Clamps[TK]]

ah man, you got out in front of me!!! I need to cut my hengstler bracket still and paint before I can full assemble.

 

Let's see some photos from the other side too!!

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Ahhhh yes but you have the armor lol.

Other side pic

 

 

Going to try give it a coat of satin clear to lock in the weathering, hope this afternoon if if warms up. Then after it has dried I have to strip it down again, put in the electronics and internals then assemble again.

 

L bracket and paint, shouldn't take you long

Oh and extended, I'm glad I did the extra metal work

 

[Locitus[Admin]]

Looks good! Although technically the grip cannot have any worn metal weathering since the sterling grips are plastic.

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Thanks Mathias, didn't know about the grip, just about to fix that now

[Locitus[Admin]]

Same goes for the T-track. Although in an idealistic way they would have to be metal to act as cooling fins. Plastic doesn't transfer heat very well.

And only the back half of the rear sight has the serrated edge:
