My E-11 Build, using Doopy's,T-Jay's completion kit, and FXBlasterOS

[likemike973]

Hello all, I am working on my blaster and wanted to share the build and seek guidance. I purchased a Doopydoo’s kit and started assembly, T-Jay's finishing kit and FX-BlasterOS. 

[likemike973]

I started by boring out the trigger area for the selector switch install, I went through the top so I did mess up the trigger area. I used my 3d print to complete the trigger.

I bored out the bolt area and used sheet metal to simulate the bolt. I installed a spring made from T-Jay's kit.

Scope bored out and installed the electronics from FXBlasterOS.

Superb detailing Likemike973. Your trigger mod looks close to the real deal. Curious, how are you keeping the exposed bolt plate in position? Interested also to know if you will be leaving the non-seen end of the ejector with or without a jet fin. cheers and interested to see more of your progression.

bolt plate before splitting

Thanks Dracotrooper! The exposed bolt is fixed, I epoxy it in place. My original intent was to make it movable but after removing a lot of material I realized I was weakening it. I also needed a place to put the electronics. What I ended up doing with the non-seen end was making that movable, so I can pull it back. I split the bolt plate and 3D printed a cylinder behind it to keep it aligned

Folding stock I purchased ready for install.

My counter is finished. The top half is a genuine Hengstler counter. I set the numbers to my ID. The lower half and plug are 3D printed parts I made. The finishing parts are from T-Jay's kit.

It is quite the feat what you've done here with the exposed bolt plate. I don't know anyone else besides myself who has attempted this mod - you have done it marvelously.

Thanks! I thought it would add some realism. Not too much is left of the doopys here.

Wow, nice detail work! Is Doopydoos selling again? And who made the stock?

Thanks, no I have had the kit for about a year. I keep checking Doopys because I want to get another but nothing yet. I have slowly been working on the kit and finally getting around to posting pictures. The stock is from War Machine Replicas, it is a great one off and fully functional.

Sorry for being late to the party.

 

Great job done on the folding stock and the power cylinders.

I installed the handle and trigger, it took a lot longer than I thought. The alignment took some time, but happy with the result. Two screws secure the handle to the frame.

Nice build so far! Check out the Blaster  Reference for some more mod ideas if you have time.

Your bolt plate looks great. Not an easy mod to do and not easy to get the bolt plate to move like the real sterling without removing lots of resin as you mentioned. I know you said you already epoxied it into place but if you wanted to try and make it fully moveable check out the ejection port section in the blaster reference:

looking forward to seeing more updates!

Exposed bolt

I split the bolt so I could cycle it but also cover the electronics behind it. I was also removing a lot of resin material weakening it.

[likemike973]

The scope and counter are now mounted to the rail. Time for wiring it all together.

The magazine is done, I cracked the corner but it won't be seen in the well.

I hollowed out the mag no make room for the battery.

I made the mag cover from aluminum. I etched the lettering using a dremel with engraving bit.

[likemike973]

Ready for paint then install the power cylinders. Lots of taping first.

[likemike973]

I added a charging port at the end.

Here is the charging port before I added to the blaster. I 3D printed a holder for the plug and also a backing for the spring. I then inserted a copper tube to run the wires through so I could still move the bolt and spring.

[likemike973]

First coat of primer is on. Now I see all the blemishes, time for some more sanding.

[likemike973]

Finishing up the painting and weathering effects. 

Still need to add some weathering to the counter and scope.
