Had some time today and thought I'd try to replicate these new-found greeblies for my Hero blaster.... one down, 2 to go. I think this may be part of the fuel assembly for a 1960 Bristol 406 (just kidding, I have no idea). Not sure if I'm going to permanently attach them yet but I am making silicone molds in case anyone wants free copies.

E-11 Previously Unknown Prop Details Ran across this video and was amazed, I must have looked at these images 1,000's of times but yet missed these.

I came across these photos during my career in prop hire and I want to share this detail with you all" Joe's Props and Artifacts Tour

OP (MV) Post #44: The Empire Strikes Back (A turning tide in my life) Boy has it been a month, and a year, for that matter. None of us need reminding of the global crisis that has impacted nearly each and every one of us, and I know there's still many more months of recovery ahead, but I wanted to share the recent developments with my personal situation. Many of you will recall that a little over half a year ago I had to put my first TK build on hold due to my family dropping to a single income, and intended to sell my armor. Due to frugalness through a budget deficit, and the extreme generosity of both family and FISD members, I was able to avoid doing so, and VERY slowly worked on my helmet and TD. Almost two months ago my boss at work gave notice of his resignation, opening an opportunity we thought might be an answer to prayer. I had actually been looking for new employment on and off for a couple years, and more adamantly throughout the pandemic, in an effort to better support my family. Providentially, last week I was formally awarded the promotion, along with the duties I had already adopted a month prior. In fact, for the past five months I had already been pulling double-duty at work after one of the three of us on our team resigned, so really I've had triple the workload for the past month. Needless to say there has been no time for my build for many weeks, though back in late January I did make some progress on helmet painting, which will be included in my next build update. Another equally-surprising, yet welcome, blessing has been that two days ago (March 9, 2021) all of the employees at our College had the opportunity to receive our first dose of the Moderna vaccine. I understand that there are differing opinions on such things, but this has been a long-awaited sign of hope and step towards normalcy, for which I am very grateful. Time has definitely been on my mind lately. My BBB day was a year ago last week. One year of domestic and international distress and turmoil. New job duties a month ago, along with the title a week ago. My daughter turns two years old less than a month from now (she was seven months old when I began this journey) and will have her first birthday party. In fact, speaking of my daughter, she recently began identifying and speaking letter names, and guess what two of her first three letters were? T is for Trevor, our dog, and K is for kitty. When I took the below photo a month ago she also knew C, her first initial, but now she also knows M and D for mama and dada, and G for her cousin's name. For those of you that forgot that I periodically include non-build content in my thread, apologies for the rude awakening. =) I do try to keep everything related to my 501st journey in some way, and hopefully some of you will appreciate knowing where I've been the past two months. I promise to get back to my build in the near future; I'm anxious to hear some feedback on helmet paint issues I'm experiencing. Until next time, keep on trooping. MV

Nope, optical illusion. This is one of two raised sections on the counter socket to interlock with the next socket, when more counters are being installed side by side. See here. The same raised bars (and slots) can be found on top and bottom of the socket (for installing them on top of each other). There also is a screen cap of Luke's E-11 with the shorter, flat and wider part. Maybe there were variations of these, like with the many E-11 blasters...

Much appreciated.

Here are some threads that are worth mentioning, I think This Index is really an astonishing collection of great treads, many thanks to all the contributors

Yeah, you truly do want to be one of the first 500.

Now I'm overanalyzing (as usual) and noticing all sorts of things here. Is it just me, or is there a tube with a cutout on the front bottom of the Hengstler counter? The scope greeblie shown in the video is a lot differently shaped than the one in the close-ups, but I'm sure this because it's so obscure and would be impossible to find. The one shown in the screen cap looks to be taller and rounded (sort of like a mail/letter box) whereas the one in the video is shorter, flat and wider. I don't think the metal prongs were there, as they would probably snag on the holster (which may be some they are missing on some, though). video video screen cap So here is the million dollar question: Can these odd parts be added as acceptable for Hero E-11s if they closely resemble the original?

On behalf of the D.O. staff, I would like to welcome the 2 newest Centurions to the ranks! 495- Starkiller_2021 (Guillermo) - TK 2201 496- Greg S (Greg) - TK 25034 Way to go, Troopers! Only 4 spots remain to make it into the "First 500", folks.

Buen trabajo compañero, orgulloso de tí!! Good work, proud of you! Bienvenido a la élite!!! Enviado desde mi Redmi Note 8 Pro mediante Tapatalk

Felicidades #495 Congratulations #495

Hi folks, It’s been a few years since my last blaster build, ( https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/42658-cableguys-doopydoos-feat-t-jay-kit-anh-e-11-wip/ ) but I’m BACK!! This time, I’m building a new kit to the market from Marc at TroopaCoola. Marc has sourced most of the original parts from the Sterling L2A3 and is now making high quality resin moulds. As per the following video, the barrel is a nicely machined metal barrel, with the other parts made from resin. Unboxing video; Making the unboxing video: As the video explains, the parts included were very well presented and relevant parts were bagged together. For example, the mag, mag well, mag release button etc were all in a small bag. The various parts of the Hengstler counter were in a separate bag, etc etc. Compared with “another” popular resin kit, many parts are much better presented, meaning that there are more separated parts and many that are already hollowed out, for example. I’ve now started with sanding and preparing the parts. Here’s an update on the progress so far; Here’s a random selection of photos that accompanied the videos; More to come soon. :-)

Congratulations Trooper well done Centurion !!

Congratulations guys and welcome to Centurion! Nearly 500 strong! Finish line in sight!

Fixed the strapping for the right forearm. Just moved the snap closer to the edge. That should do it.

Recieved the new cloth belt and reassembled the belt yesterday The last picture ended up a little sloppy, my right biceps came of and the TD isn't sitting straight

I may or may not have jumped up and down in my room for a bit... Thanks a lot! I'll be sure to make the Legion proud. Long live the Empire!

Awesome work! I also have a WTF kit and had to procure different mesh for my hovi tips. A couple final items when you have a chance - could you post photos of your sniper knee plate from the front, as well as a photo of your thigh ammo pack rivet from the inside?

You are my hero today! I couldn't find the instructions for the magnetic closures on the shins.... then I remembered you put them here. Thanks!

Troopers! Just a quick note to remind everybody that I'm always on the lookout for new informative resources to add to this thread, so if you spot something not listed that may be helpful, send it my way! I definitely want to harness the hive mind for the ultimate goal of troopers helping troopers!
