LTM[TK] Posted June 1, 2020 Report Posted June 1, 2020 After building the fantastic SE44C from Imperial Factory with 5th Horseman files, had to get the F-11D version. As I want to use the BlastFx, I will deviate and include the screen on the counter. Figure I can overlay with a blank later, but it is too cool not to include it (I have one on my E-11). Here are the parts after cleaning (you dont need to sand anything!). 4 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 3, 2020 Author Report Posted June 3, 2020 First coat of primer. Will have to assemble in order to fit the electronics, then disassemble for painting. 1 Quote
jaxninja[TK] Posted June 3, 2020 Report Posted June 3, 2020 Awesome! I'm very excited to see this. I was about to order the same thing but wasn't sure about going with the screen on the counter or not. Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Posted June 4, 2020 Assembled the main components so I can figure out where to place everything. Only a few pieces glued, the rest are screwed together. I like how the barrel can be removed for easy access Need to make the trigger functional, will have to make my own spring Will place the screen and wiring in the scope, possibly will need to cut it at the bracket 1 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 4, 2020 Author Report Posted June 4, 2020 Look at the thickness of the walls, this blaster feels as if it was real. Will have to route wires through the mounting block 2 Quote
MaskedVengeance[Staff] Posted June 4, 2020 Report Posted June 4, 2020 Lookout great, Lou! Someday when I'm done with my TK, HWT, and T-21 builds I'd like to do one of these 5th Horsemen blasters. That and some Mando stuff. Goodness my to-do list is long. Looking forward to seeing your final product! 1 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Posted June 5, 2020 Started with the scope. Switch will be on the top, so had to cut the scope in the middle. Switch in the scope Need to drop the lens into the housing Complete 1 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 5, 2020 Author Report Posted June 5, 2020 Wanted to drill out the holes so I had an option to see red light (very small amount), not cannon but cool and can turn on/off as needed. Whoops! Replaced with brass tubing Gutted! Pew Pew button Now with more pew-pew 3 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Posted June 26, 2020 Finally getting some time to work on this, but now at the painting phase and white seems to take forever to cure. Wasn't too happy with the chrome I used on the other blaster, so this time base coat of black. 2 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted June 26, 2020 Author Report Posted June 26, 2020 Anyone know if the front site is chrome or black? Quote

LTM[TK] Posted June 29, 2020 Author Report Posted June 29, 2020 Still plugging away between work and home projects. Got the speaker to sit in the breech and point forward Order came in, now I can extend the wires. Started the painting process, everything has one coat but the white takes forever to cure. Once I finish the final wiring, I will break it down and put on a finish coat. 2 Quote

themaninthesuitcase[Admin] Posted June 29, 2020 Report Posted June 29, 2020 For TLJ looks like they went to black: (from this post by @gmrhodes13) 2 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted July 15, 2020 Author Report Posted July 15, 2020 Working on the red lights. Made boxes out of scrap plastic, lined the inside with aluminum foil. The led is red and the foil helps diffuse the light. Had to buy a sheet of red plastic (12 X 12) as that was the smallest size. The counter box This is just a test fit, the led is too far in the center in this shot Next up is the trigger. 3 Quote
Sly11[Admin] Posted July 16, 2020 Report Posted July 16, 2020 Nice work, this is going to look awesome. Quote
LTM[TK] Posted July 16, 2020 Author Report Posted July 16, 2020 Wiring the switch, had to make sure it didn't interfere with the spring. Went for a 1/4 inch pull to activate. Wiring goes out the top Also worked on the front light switch. While this is manual turn on/off, in the future I will wire it up with a momentary switch. 2 Quote
LTM[TK] Posted August 13, 2020 Author Report Posted August 13, 2020 Still plugging away as I get time. Made a reinforcing brass connection to put the scope back together. 1 Quote
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted August 13, 2020 Report Posted August 13, 2020 Very nice, coming along great Quote
LTM[TK] Posted August 15, 2021 Author Report Posted August 15, 2021 Well, looks like I need to update this build thread. Currently working on a heavy F-11D so I will post that as well. 1 Quote
