Small detail questions

[Vincent228]

Hi All.

I am building a E11 from ANH. more specifically the one from the Stunt Trooper from ANH.

 

I want to make this as 501st acurate as possible, and as film accurate as possible.

 

I found "EXCELLENT" print files from Thingiverse.

 

4003566 STERLING SMG MK4

3989097 E11 BLASTER EPISODE IV ACCESSORY KIT

 

I was led to this from a youtube video.

 

There were excellent plans attached to the accesory kit, that are too large to attach.

 

My question is in the monor details, as i have found a ton of photos (both film and build) of the E-11, and i would like some advice.

The items i saw change from blaster to blaster was:

 

1) the Hengstler Ay: some have wires glued to the power cells (which cover the magazine drop button), and some seem to have small electrodes coming from the holes.

2) the trigger housing and selector switch. Ive seen some painted a metalic silver, and some painted black.

 

I was curious what others here have done.

 

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Second Glen on this.

 

This is one of the **best** file set available, Bryan is a truly amazing artist, he went to great lengths to see these parts are as accurate as possible next to the real thing.

I could not agree more on Bryan's kit.  It truly is incredibly detailed.  I am actually building one now to auction off for charity (link here).

As I mention in my thread Glen linked to above, those wires on the Hengstler counter were not present in any of the E-11s seen onscreen.

Looking forward to seeing your build!
