CableGuy[Admin] Posted April 1, 2021 Author Report Posted April 1, 2021 Thanks Tino and Tony. :-) I’ve given the scope another coat of Humbrol Brass 54, as well as the front end of the Hengstler. As the rear of the original Hengstler counters were plastic, they should not be sprayed with a brass coat. The plastic part would not have had metal effect weathering. I started to work on the “OFF —>” detailing on the end cap of the magazine, however, it’s not quite to the standard I’d like. I’ll likely do this again. And finally, the folding stock now has a coat of Hammered Black, so I test fitted it to the barrel. A little shiny still at this moment, but, I’m liking the finish. :-) 6 Quote

CableGuy[Admin] Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Posted April 30, 2021 Hi folks,Just a couple of update photos coming up. Blaster with DoopyDoos scope and Hengstler. A little weight comparison between this JMC E-11 and the DoopyDoos. Humbrol Brass 54 for the scope, with the sides of rear feet maskedHumbrol 33 Matt Black appliedLight weathering to scope and front end of Hengstler counter (by gently rubbing with a file and / or sandpaperResin t-tracks heated in a pot of boiling water, then shaped into barrel holes. * note - I wasn’t paying attention and mounted the top-middle track too long - I didn’t reserve the final hole for the scope rail to sit into. I realised this around an hour after spray painting. Thankfully, it was easy to reshape and re attach to the blaster. Matt Black 33 applied to the tracks and also a light coat over the Hammered black to reduce the shine/gloss. Note - one hole too long (below photo); 3 Quote
T-Jay[TK] Posted May 1, 2021 Report Posted May 1, 2021 Never seen resin T-tracks before. Surprised to see it was possible to install them. I expected resin to break on such sharp bends. Good job. 1 Quote

CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 3, 2021 Author Report Posted May 3, 2021 Hey troopers,A little more progress on this blaster. I’ve now attached the JMC scope and Hengstler to the scope rail. I’ve started a little subtle weathering, too. Rear end cap needs toning down and lots of other little bits still to do. :-) 2 Quote
CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 10, 2021 Author Report Posted May 10, 2021 Hey folks,Drawing closer to finishing this blaster. In this little update, I have;Added D-ringAdded lock/free screw (actually just a resin cast)Added hex bolt on bottom of gripAdded spring Prepared charging/cocking handleThis certainly doesn’t look pretty, however, it looks okay once in the barrel. I used a child’s garden hoe as the correct diameter to coil my spring. And now some photos of where it’s up to. 5 Quote

CableGuy[Admin] Posted May 23, 2021 Author Report Posted May 23, 2021 Hey folks, I’m calling this JMC E-11 kit FINISHED.... (well, for now, at least) Yes, there are a few areas where I could go to town on parts, replace this, change that, however, this project was initially to see how the JMC E-11 kit (now known as “Kit 1”) was on delivery, how the parts went together, any feedback on how the production models of these could be improved. The only real additional part I’ve added is the scope rail (which I had already). I’ll do a summary video soon, covering various parts that I haven’t yet documented, however, my conclusion about this kit is that it is TRULY EXCELLENT!!! As I’ve said throughout, easy to work with, very well made and supplied by Marc at TroopaCoola, and an excellent final product with impeccable service. Get your order in today... Thanks for following the build. :-) Dan 8 Quote

CableGuy[Admin] Posted September 27, 2021 Author Report Posted September 27, 2021 Hi folks,I’ve reworked the weathering a little and added the white lettering to the M38 scope. With that in mind, I just HAD to take some new, swanky photos and share them with you all. For anyone that wants to learn a little more about the processes involved, and to see more photos of the finished blaster, here’s a new video: Thanks for stopping by. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. :-) Dan 4 Quote
CallMeMrTibbles[501st] Posted September 30, 2021 Report Posted September 30, 2021 Looks amazing Dan. Very impressive. Have you made any videos specifically about weathering? I've recently received my SE-14R from rdr, and it's amazing, but looks far too clean (If you consider in person workshops I'm keen and will bring snacks ) 1 Quote

Revvek[TK] Posted October 5, 2021 Report Posted October 5, 2021 (edited) Wow this looks nice l! I’m going to have to see about getting one of these. still waiting on my Hellhounds I ordered several months back, having another E-11 I can put electronics in would get great. -- UPDATE: Ordered one!

Zinfer[TK] Posted October 10, 2021 Report Posted October 10, 2021 (edited) I didn't see how you handled that hole on the underside of the grip. Not sure how to go about it, what drill size or what the deal is with that. Loving your build and using it as a guide as there are no instructions. Thusfar I've found this can take a very long time to build putting just a little time in with it over a period of time. Edited October 10, 2021 by Zinfer Quote
