When I think of an idealized Stormtrooper, and I have to say that I TOTALLY prefer the wonky and rough one, I'm in fact thinking of a symmetrical helmet like the MR CE/eFX PCR.
And I totally agree with Sergui, Idealised would be perfectly symmetrical in every aspect nice and sharp edged, the ones they had just have more character. Originally I was the other way inclined but I think the inaccuracy and oddity of the older stuff simply grows on you.

I think he means the vent holes in the barrel itself?

Humbrol #14 French Blue

I think it looks like the real deal, but only asking the buyer will reveal it in truth. Its little things round the hengstler there appears to be brass showing on the holder the end of the mag with the missing spring piece and screw on handle on the sterling make me think its pretty genuine.

Talking of eBay finds not sure who is parting with this but looks like a good one to be had:

I used a grey primer followed by a mat spray. Just get a screw driver and pop the lens out from the inside (pushing inside to out) if you put the driver at the very edge of the lens it will come out no problem and will fit back in too easily on a push fit. That will give you a lovely finish.

Fantastic build have enjoyed reading all about it, and the stand is perfect forget the MR type plaques etc let the blaster do the talking.

My God your a mentalist! This stuff is insane... Please Sir can I have some more!

I'm drooling, the MR Fett Balster and my own sterling e-11 are the only props I've on display in my house. Can't wait to see what else you've done.

Would like to see some pictures if you can upload some?

I'm in the process of putting an album together of the entire exhibit. I do have a picture of the mouse droid but it's not close enough to make out any detail. The binoculars were not there.
My brother will be going to the exhibit at some time. After looking at all my photos, I noticed there is a lot I didn't get so I'm making him a list of photos to take. I will add the mouse droid to the list.

I see in the background of one of the pics a mouse droid please say you got some shots of the cylinders
Where there any other props like the Macrobinoculars used by Luke in Star Wars, if so would you have got some shots of those

I own both a deactivated Sterling SMG converted as E-11 and a complete MR Stormtrooper blaster. The MR version is cool and almost the same weight as the real deal.
SNAP! I've virtually the same collection, though my Hasbro is an old 1970's model with folding stock and squeely noise

Yes, it was awesome to see the Enterprise on the big screen.
love referencing this clip

Quintessentially the best film ever made... Awesome

Hi Sergiu,
Not sure quite how it will work with the plastic bracket but if you look at my build you may get some inspiration?
Regards

Really is looking nice, love the paint finish, it looks like it suits the sterling well
-
He looks skinny.
Brilliant...
Your a little thin to be a stormtrooper!
-
Will be watching with great interest, good luck with the rest of the build you cannot beat the feeling of achievement when your done.

Really liking what I've read here, this will look lovely when your finished. A couple of things I'd recommend though for anyone who follows your build, issue that you should drill all your holes on the cylinder chasis before you make any bends. That way you can be sure your alignment is correct. Simply placing the plate on a wooden block is good to help with this, and means you can clamp it down too.
If you place your rail etc in a vice to form a bend as long as this is done as close as possible, and you use a heavy implement applying even pressure also means that you don't need to score the metal before bending. In doing this though make sure you protect the surface of the metal you put into the vice.

I know they're not acceptable but I have to say I quite like the sanitised look of the CE
-
Could this be a first: My E-11 taken from my new Sony camera with 3D (I've got no way of knowing if it works as I believe it will only appear truly in 3D through a 3D TV - I guess I better get saving)
Enjoy!

I do not think that they used a wider rail.
in my opinion they used exact the width of the inner rear sight that match the width of the first barrel hole where the rail is fixed also each have an width from around 11mm.
I hopefully will receive a metal sheet today with an width of 11mm to prove my thoughts.
Here is a picture with the inner sight removed and the open space thats left behind.
How did you detach it (the sight)? Your thought are in line with my thinking on the rail which is why I have a thinner one (two actually).
I want one of these!
