Tusken RTT Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Looking good! You will need to drill some vent holes in your blaster though on the lower left side. Quote

Regarding the blaster, Is there a particular reference/tutorial you would recommend to help me with this? (How many holes, what size drill bit, etc) Edited June 8, 2015 by tjr2d2 Quote
cm325i Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 Looking good! You will need to drill some vent holes in your blaster though on the lower left side. This must have been a recent update or rewording. The CRL I printed off the site last summer didn't specify this, only suggested it. At least that's how I interpreted it. "If using the Hasbro E11 toy blaster, it is modified to have the correct number of T-tracks (6 total), with a lower row of open vent holes on the magazine housing side. This is accomplished by covering the pre-existing rows of holes with T-tracks, then grinding off the lower integrated T-track on the magazine housing side, and drilling a new row of holes in its place. " but according to the statement above, he is correct Tommy. We'll need to fix the blaster. Quote

tjr2d2 Posted June 8, 2015 Author Report Posted June 8, 2015 Roger that and thank you all for the replies. I will get the blaster taken care of ASAP. Quote
YESSRAM[TK] Posted June 8, 2015 Report Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Hello Tommy: Congrats Mate... Good job and nice armor!!! Just check and put more tube lines of your helmet (15 lines right side / 16 lines left side) you have (13) lines on each side!!! Good Luck on your EIB App!! Sorry, I don't have picture the right side but there are 15 lines. Edited June 8, 2015 by YESSRAM Quote

Sorry, I don't have picture the right side but there are 15 lines. Thank you very much. I appreciate even being considered for EIB. Whenever possible could you (or anybody reading this) please provide the reference for the exact number of tube stripes. I must have either mis-read or missed it all together because the 501st.com CRL I used for reference said it could be between 9-16 stripes. Once I know for sure I will gladly make the changes as soon as possible. Thanks again! Edited June 8, 2015 by tjr2d2 Quote

Tube stripes are medium blue, numbering between 9 and 16 per side with the curve bends extending backwards. I confused, sorry for this!! http://www.501st.com/databank/Costuming:TK_anh_stunt Good Luck and have a good day!! 1 Quote

gazmosis[501st] Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 This is the way the proper conversion should look for your blaster's left side. Can you also show a pic of the bicep straps that should be on the bottom of your shoulder bells? I will check back periodically for updates regarding your blaster. 1 Quote

Thank you very much Gazmosis, this picture will really help when I get to working on my blaster. I appreciate it. Per your request, here is a shot of my bicep strapping on the shoulder bells: Quote
gazmosis[501st] Posted June 9, 2015 Report Posted June 9, 2015 Thank you for these! I went back on the picture and went into photobucket to blow it up and still could not see them. This is why I asked. Once you get your blaster updated, I will also go over Clint's comment regarding the blaster and the tube stripe mention. 1 Quote
tjr2d2 Posted June 9, 2015 Author Report Posted June 9, 2015 Roger that Sir. Not sure if this would help in any way, but i just ordered a hyperfirm E-11 which may be here by next week or so. In the meantime, i will continue with the conversion of my hasbro. Thank you again for your consideration. Quote

tjr2d2 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Posted June 10, 2015 So I did my best with the tools I have on hand here, but here is the result of my hasbro blaster conversion. If this looks okay, all I would have to do is hide the wire inside, re-glue the power cylinders back on and it should be good to go. Thoughts?? Quote
tjr2d2 Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Posted June 10, 2015 Awesome job, sir, you are going to do the EIB's proud!! Thank you! I really appreciate your support! I feel honored to even be considered for Expert Infantry Status. Quote

ukswrath[Staff] Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Hey Tommy great looking gun sir. My only concern is maybe the placement of the counter, IMO I think it should be moved back a tad, about 1/2" maybe. Steve may think otherwise let's see what he has to say before making any changes.

Thank You Very Much! I Appreciate It. Understood, if needed It should not be too difficult to change position. I will await the decision. 1 Quote
