Billhag Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 As many of you know, I do love an E11 blaster , from the Kenner / Hasbro all the way up to a full on Sterling. But one prime example of this fine weapon as always eluded me (mainly because of living in the UK) the Hyperfirm. So after successfully establishing a International imitation firearms smuggling syndicate with the head of a notorious Texas cartel I have finally got my grubby little hands on one of these little beauties. I can see why everyone loves ‘em, they’re well built, have some fantastic detail and you can throw this sucker at the wall and the thing won’t have a dent in it. As always, not content on leaving things as they are, I thought that I’d have a little play around with it to see if I could ‘pep’ it up a little bit without going over the top (I came thisssssssssss close to putting a real scope and counter on it ). So first off I applied some subtle weathering with some antique pewter and vintage gold glaze .Then I added a simple ‘D’ ring, drilled the front barrel out, stuck a strip on the ejector port and painted it. I then changed out the power cylinders and messed around with the scope and pimped it up ‘Billhag’ style…oh yesss . Scope Tricks I wanted to keep it nice and simple and still be able to Troop with it and not worry if it gets bashed about. I know the mods I’ve made are nothing special but I thought that I’d share them so that others may get some ideas and have a play around for themselves. OK, bring on the pictures…….owww, we all love pictures…loads ‘n’ loads of pictures Quote
Billhag Posted February 21, 2009 Author Report Posted February 21, 2009 Even more pictures I'd like to say a big, big thank you to Matt for his expert smuggling skills. You are my hero mate. Quote

Daetrin[Admin] Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Looks really nice Bill. Makes mine look sad, very sad. Methinks I need to take some drastic measures (e.g. get in trouble budget wise with the spouse). Quote
slave1pilot Posted February 21, 2009 Report Posted February 21, 2009 Very nice, I am quite impressed by the Scope mod. I'm going to do that to all of My HyperFirm scopes Quote
