Twnbrother Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 I installed the folding stock and secured with two screws. I then filled the phillips head in with green stuff. When its dry I will cover with black spray paint. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 The front trigger assembly had very little to surface for attachment. So I filled in with green stuff and Zap a Gap.... this should not go anywhere. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 19, 2015 Author Report Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) The weapon is now prepped for final coat of black, weathering and then sealed with matte finish. I used Matte Black, but the matte sealer still makes it a little duller.... so I taped off the T-tracks to give them a slightly different color.... the Henglslter Counter will also be done this way.

Twnbrother Posted August 20, 2015 Author Report Posted August 20, 2015 I finished the blaster tonight.... here are a few quick pics... I will post better detailed shots later. 2 Quote
usaeatt2 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 It's really hard to believe this is a Doopy kit!!! Amazing work, Mike. This has been a pleasure to watch! 2 Quote
Thrawn's guard Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 (edited) Really amazing work Mike. With all the upgrades and fantastic paint job that you have done you really can't distinguish it from a real gun. As for the scope we have both worked on completely different solutions but this proves that on this type of upgrade, i.e. where there is no definitive screen used look, there is no one best method and I really like what you have done here. Your build thread is very detailed with some really helpful photos and I am sure it will be a point of reference for many blaster builders to come. If there is ever a thread simply listing links to some of the best build threads I think that this would be included. I actually think that this could be a good idea to help those starting there blaster research. Edited August 20, 2015 by Thrawn's guard 3 Quote
jkno Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Such a great result! A fantastic blaster! 2 Quote
Mark2575 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Brother, that E-11 is simply amazing. If I saw only the finished photos I would think it was an original or an extremely high quality replica. Excellent work. I hope mine turns out half as good as yours. 1 Quote
charlesnarles Posted August 20, 2015 Report Posted August 20, 2015 Glad to see it in all its final glory. Great work 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) Here are some better photos. If you want to see a specific part just ask and I will post it. This has been a great adventure. I want to thank everyone on FISD who helped make this blaster. METALMITE Edited August 21, 2015 by Twnbrother 2 Quote
Mark2575 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Wow. Great photos. I would not believe it was a resin blaster 1 Quote
Thrawn's guard Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) With the better quality photos the blaster looks even better. Edited August 21, 2015 by Thrawn's guard 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 21, 2015 Author Report Posted August 21, 2015 (edited) I really need to fix the end of the counter to match yours. Edited August 21, 2015 by Twnbrother Quote
crisisfilms Posted August 21, 2015 Report Posted August 21, 2015 Amazing work. I've enjoyed keeping up with this thread immensely and it has as certainly helped me as I've worked on mine. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 22, 2015 Author Report Posted August 22, 2015 I purchased an E-11 Stand from http://tshobbies.com/star-wars-e-11-blaster-stand/ and it arrived today. 3 Quote
welshchris77[TK] Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 All your hard work and attention to detail has paid off Mike. You must be very proud. Well done ! 1 Quote
Thrawn's guard Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 (edited) I'm still deciding if to make a blaster stand or purchase one but I must admit I think that the one you have bought looks fantastic and really presents the blaster very well.

T-Jay[TK] Posted August 22, 2015 Report Posted August 22, 2015 Mike, seems like I am a bit late to the party. Congratulations on finishing your great blaster build, which will definitely be an inspiration and source of knowledge for many other builders out there! Speaking only for myself now (not as member of the Blaster Reference Team), I could imagine you might get contacted in the future to contribute some of your work to the Blaster Reference... (not promising anything) Again, you did a fantastic job on this and thank you very much for using (and mentioning) one of my Completion Sets to finish this build. Always a surprise what people do make out of these... 3 Quote
Bulldog44[TK] Posted August 25, 2015 Report Posted August 25, 2015 Excellent job on your blaster Mike. Attention to detail - outstanding. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 30, 2015 Author Report Posted August 30, 2015 I have been gone for the last week on a business trip. After reviewing The counter made by Chris (Thrawnsguard) I have a little work to do. I also need to work in a little more weathering and try my hand at light rust in some areas. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted August 31, 2015 Author Report Posted August 31, 2015 I took off my counter and began the updates to my counter. I also noticed that my push button is too thin... I don't think there is a way to replace it with a thicker one as I glued it down with Zap a Gap. First I added a piece of metal that has two holes and trimmed out the piece below the electrical connections. Great eye Chris... I never would have seen this without your post. Next I trimmed out the sections on the bottom of the counter and trimmed out the piece below the electrical connections. I also trimmed out the piece on the side to make the "T's" from the metal bracket. I took off a little too much, but you gotta love green stuff. I ordered the appropriate screws. Once they arrive I will repaint, install the screws and remount. 1 Quote
Twnbrother Posted September 1, 2015 Author Report Posted September 1, 2015 (edited) I finished up the rework on the counter. Thanks again to Chris for showing this detail in his build I ordered some M2.5 terminal screws off ebay to use on the rear of the counter. It was only 1 dollar shipped. I hope these screws are the correct ones.... I will post a pic when they arrive. UPDATE: WRONG SCREW.. THEY WERE PHILLIPS HEAD.... Edited September 13, 2015 by Twnbrother 1 Quote
Thrawn's guard Posted September 3, 2015 Report Posted September 3, 2015 Very nice work on the rear of the counter Mike. You may want to add the detail to the underside of the rear of the counter also (This is something that i will be looking at shortly). 1 Quote

You may want to add the detail to the underside of the rear of the counter also (This is something that i will be looking at shortly). Chris I saw your request for pics of the underside of the counter and I did get me thinking I could not tell from the pictures how far the detail was raised and/or depressed from the base. Plus there is another screw on the bottom. Edited September 3, 2015 by Twnbrother Quote
