Thanks! I used clear plastic for the lense with printed out sights glued behind it.

I just finished off my first Hasbro E11 fitted with the Doopy Doo's kit. Some of the extra steps I took to help get rid of the toy look was to fill in all the screw holes, opened up the front sight and the sight rail at the back. I also filled and sanded down the seam where the sides met. The sight was given the most attention by removing the front and back plastic pieces, filling in the front and putting in an offset lens housing salvaged some screws from some old r/c cars. The back of the sight was given an outer ring, clear plastic lens with a printed sighting graphic on the inside of it. The trigger was trimmed, D ring was added, scratch built "t" track and wires from the counter added as well. Once everything was assembled I primed it then gave it a couple of coats of silver paint then finished it off with 3 coats of semi gloss black. All paints used are by Tamiya that went on very smoothly and were allowed to dry thoroughly between coats. Feel free to ask for any tips or tricks I used with this build. Hope you like it and it meet 501st standards. Now I needs me some armor! <_< Basic ugly hasbro E11 with all the Doopy parts ready for priming. Primed Black paint All assembled and slightly weathered. Final product with the completed sight and counter wires added. My new E11 with my MRCE lid.

I was thinking of doing the same myself, I think it looks better too.

Before you do the trimming could you post some pics showing the areas you are going to trim. Maybe highlighting them with tape? Would be good to see.

This is the armor I am interested in buying. I guess you purchased the "lite" kit. I am interested in seeing if you have to trim very much for it to fit. I am 5'7 so am curious to see how much work I would have to do to make it fit me comefortably. Keep the updates coming!
