Hi guys!!

I wish i had a build thread in mind during this conversion of an S&T airsoft sterling to an ANH E11

Anyway, what i did was cutting down the magazine clip, after that i found a piece of steel to bend for a scope rail.

The scope is a real vintage scope.

Hengstler counter is a replica bought from blue snaggletooth.

The T tracks came with the scope, but i don't remember who i bought it from

And the power cylinders are scratch build by myself.

I did some small weathering here and there, not fully sure if it is finished ;)

Here are some pics, I hope you guys like it :)

Here are some close ups of my power cylinder, the capacitors are sculpted with FIMO clay

The airsoft won't allow a spring in the sterling that reaches all the way to the bolt, so i cut out some hose to fit it and painted the ribs to give the illusion it is a spring

Like i said this is the first time i did something like this, and i really enjoyed building those power cylinders :)

But i am very happy with the result, in the future i will replace the red lens of the scope to one of those fancy lenses

maybe a weathering pass once more, not sure yet.

feedback is always welcome :)

Now back to my TK build!!!

Good job Kenny!  I really like your power cylinders. :jc_doublethumbup:

 

I am not very familiar with the S&T airsoft sterling, but would you mind letting us know, how much this beauty weights?

Thanks!!! I Just weighed my blaster and with everything on it, it comes in at a perfect 3,5 kilo.

the power cylinders are based on Andy’s power cylinders and other builds from Novakdimon and many others out here, a bit of everyone’s design, which I am thankful for that this forum exists!! I have a few pics of those during the build process so if you want I can post those as well

3.5 kilos? :shok: Wow, was this blaster built for trooping or as a display?

Well, originally it was build for trooping but it turned out more to be a display piece, but I think I will troop with it occasionally :)

Incredible attention to detail there, Kenny.  A weapon anyone would be proud to troop with!
