Threesheds' ANH Stunt build WIP


Recommended Posts

Here's some pics of my E11 blaster prints. Any comments welcome please! If there's anything not right, I'd rather know now than after I've started gluing them all together!

Looking great John.

 

Bellow a reference for you to check the scope and Hengstler counter  correct position and other details for your build. Good luck and looking forward for your advances.

Perhaps some info here can be useful for you.

T bars glued on and folding stock assembled and positioned ready for glueing.
 

I've glued the T-bars on, pics below:

I've also assembled the folding stock and positioned it ready for glueing.

 

By my reckoning, the front of the folding stock should just overhang the front the of the muzzle by a few millimetres, as I've positioned it here.  Does this all look good for glueing?

Rail in place, scope screwed to rail and checking positioning for hengstler bracket:

Am I all good here? Or should I remove the screws I've used at the back end of the rail and the scope and just glue them instead?

A screw is ok, but personally, I would recommend to use a countersunk one.

It does look a little on the large side.

 

A great thread full of references

I've finished building my E11 blaster rifle - painted and weathered (to the best of my ability at least!)

pics for inspection: does this all look ok for trooping?

Nice work.

 

A couple of things if you look at aiming for higher levels, the T-tracks and grips were gloss black on-screen blasters so would not have any weathering, also there are a few places you can see some print lines: 

  • L2 Expert Infantry
  • 3-D printed blasters can not contain visible print lines, and must be sanded smooth for a more realistic appearance.

I've made a start on my lid build. Following along with RWA Ross's very helpful youtube videos. 

Got the eyes and frown grilles trimmed out, brow band in place, and positioning the front and back pieces with magnets in preparation to drill and rivet the sides.

A few build threads I find useful, especially on trimming the ears ;)

 

 

Some references of screen helmets, many had gaps ;)

Compare your middle teeth, they look a little curved

Thanks for the really helpful links / pics.

I've now got the lid assembled with the ears and neck rubber on. I've being doing a bit of back-and-forwarding with my armourer on the UK Garrison forum to get my E11 right (replaced 3d printed scope rail with metal one) so progress has been slow.

You can also add some white to the mic tip rims and insides ;) 

L2 and above

  • Correct Aerators/Hovi-MIX tips are present. Screens used shall be of a wide type mesh, with the rim of the mic and the inside white or painted white.

My armourer at the UK Garrison (TK29772) has just signed off on my lid!

 

Vent lines painted on (stencils supplied with my kit by Ross @ RWA) and black keylines round tears / traps / ears freehanded. Very happy with how they turned out.

Now I can press on with the rest of my build. Going to do the shoulder bells / arm sections next 🙂

slow progress due to work and family commitments, but both arms glued up and the wrist plates glued onto the gloves.

I've got the practical popper kit from Ross at RWA so I'm now knee deep in making popper tabs to glue on.

Outstanding job John,  

 

If I may, regarding your TD , you may want to move down a little more the control panel .  The ribbed area should face toward the rear, with the O ring on or near the top.

 

 

CRL for Basic: The white control panel raised ribbed pad faces the rear, with the controls/round washer style detail closest to the right end cap.
