Thats pretty awesome! Similar to the Hyperdyne set-up. I bet it cost you alot less $$ though haha. Excellent job with the blaster build and the electronics! well done!

Ok so here are some of the first castings. A couple of them miscast, but you get the idea. I left all the corrosion and natural weathering from the originals so you can see that in some of the castings. They also have dirt on them from the original parts. With time that will fade, plus i will be casting the kits in black onyx resin so it will be less noticeable due to that as well. First is the Mag housing. I cast all the detail pieces separate for a more realistic look. Here is the clip, it miscast a bit and will be shortened a bit more, but you get the idea Here is the rear site and bayonet lug: here is the un-modded nozzle. i just need to widen it at the base,and will also make it to cast front and back to fit nicely on the inner barrel. here is a comparison with mine (left) and doopy doos(right). you can see why i think theirs may be fabricated.The shapes are all wrong and the bolts arent even Allen bolts! Doopy's on top, DVH on the bottom All the allen bolts are in rubber at the moment. The kit will include the cast allen bolts so you can use those as "pins" to assemble, or you can use real allen bolts.

Right Vern. I am toying with the idea of using a small diameter conduit (to be included in the kit) and just casting the ends of the actual internal barrel so they can be inserted into the conduit on either end. It would make for a bit more assembly, but give you a 100% hollow inner barrel that wouldnt be as brittle as resin.

So far i do...but we'll see lol. I wanna see one built up too! I just hope all my ideas work. Sometimes the idea is good but then you run into problems executing it lol. But so far im already happy with the couple of first cast parts. the mag housing is cast along with the bayonet lug and rear sight. molds are done for the front nozzle, but havent cast one yet to modify. i also did half the mold for the internal bolt and the allen bolts and cocking handle. I have to work on other peoples commissions tomorrow so not sure how much on this i'll get done, but im gonna try and get a little more banged out.

heh..well now theres an idea...i wonder who i could get to make them? hmmmmmmmm

Thanks guys...i want this to end up being the ultimate E-11 pipe build kit. Im taking everyones suggestions seriously and after i get the basic kits going, i will impliment alot of the ideas you guys are throwing at me I actually had intentions on doing that if the buyer wanted I also plan to eventually offer different types. Standard PVC, the acrylic possibly that Brian (Stormtrooperguy) mentioned a few posts up, and a metal one.

Its still free. It take less than 5 minutes to sign up and confirm through e-mail. thats what i did just a few days ago and i got the templates with no problems

hmm thats always another option that could be added if anyone wanted. Id like to actually offer metal tubes with a "deluxe" kit Im hoping to be able to offer a few versions to fit everyones budget and how far they want to go with it. From basic to extremely detailed. So as i was starting to set up the parts for molds, i noticed that the (please excuse my lack of gun knowledge lol) internal part that goes where the ejector port is and also houses the cocking lever...just fitsd in the PVC pipe. It will need very little modification to work. Which makes me think Doopys part may be fabricated, as the front nozzle seemed to be as well. The doopys internal didnt fit in the PVC pipe without a ton of modding that just isnt worth it IMO, plus it doesnt appear to be cast off an original part as it looks very different. the Sterling part lot also came with the internal barrel. So what im going to do is make it so the nozzle attaches to the internal barrel and that attaches to that ejector port part. So in essence you can have semi internals to give it a more realistic appearance. Im also makiiung it so a spring can be put into that ejector port and the cocking handle can also be put where its supposed to beIm also casting the allen bolts that go in the nozzle as seperate pieces that will work like "pegs" you just put some glue on em and put them in the nozzle and thet will attach it to the internal barrel. Also if you wanted you can use actual allen bolts and dont need to mod anything, just put them in as they will thread the resin. All this will add a little weight to the blaster but i think it will be awesome to have that option. You will still be able to assemble it without those parts if you desire. These are the parts im talking about: they will go together like this:

Its the same thing. 38mm = 1.49606" Just about 1.5". Conduit is measured by outside diameter. Pipe is measured by inside diameter. If i meausure the outside diameter of the 1.25" PVC, it is just a hair under 1.5" its the same size as the 38mm conduit. Either will work just the same. Of course, you can use whatever you want. Im just saying the size is the same, so when i make the parts to fit the 1.25" PVC pipe, it will also fit the 38mm conduit This is exactly the same as what doopy's has done. Noone has ever complained about doopys stuff not fitting anything, so thats why im going with the same size fit.

I remember your page. I was fascinated by the build back then! Its really great work, glad you got it back up in a streamlined version.

Thanks man! I think it was they wanted one that was cast as an open stock. I dont think the resin can handle an actual functioning stock. If it was made of aluminum, yes, but that would boost the cost up. But again...i like the ideas, and i will take them all into consideration once i have the basic kits going. these are all options that can be available later on. Keep the ideas coming!

Wish me luck guys..this weekend im starting the first set of molds for these. Im going to start them tonight but probably wont be pouring the rubber until tomorrow, but we'll see how late i feel like stayin up lol.

Man..they are horrible with communication!

Not at first, but keep the ideas coming Vern! I want these to eventually surpass doopy doos kits and give people more options with there builds.

Yes i know Vern. 1.25" is the inside diameter of the PVC pipe. "Pipe" is measured by inside diameter. "Tube" is measured by outside diameter. 1.25" PVC pipe is what every blaster build tells you to use. the outside diameter is bigger, 1 and 5/8ths inches or so. A little over 1.5" Ive been using 1.25" PVC pipe for every build i do and the doopy doos kits fit perfect with no modification. Im doing exactly what doopy doos has done. Thats why i need to cast the parts twice. The first set of molds i will make, taken directly off the sterling parts, will fit a metal tube the exact size of a sterling. Hence why i need to take those castings and mod them. The Modded cast parts, which the second molds will be made from, will be made to fit the 1.25" (INSIDE diameter)PVC. So if the doopy doos kits fit the conduit your using, so will this one Im doing exactly what they did.

Bikerscout.net is THE place for bikerscouts!

Awesome..thanks Vern. I'll use that as a guide for the ESB greeblies. On another note...some mold rubber has been ordered. Not sure how far i'll get with this batch. Hopefully i'll at the very least get molds of all the parts. After that i need to cast them up and then modify them to fit on the 1.25 PVC pipe, then make molds again. I noticed that Doopy's front nozzle isnt correct. Not sure why..they may have fabricated it...but mine will be accurate, right off the sterling.

Be sure they are not the old Atin molds. I know he sold them, i just cant remember to who. Those molds are out of date, but worse off, for Chelsea, it would be too big. Its based off armor made a long time ago and it very large, and inaccurate. The best makers are MC and SC for Scout. But you can post up what the armor looks like as it may be ok. TB armor isnt THAT hard to do, so this person may have molds he did himself that look better than those old Atin molds.

Looks like the helmet that comes with the Rubies Supreme costume, recast in resin. what craftsmanship!

good lord... :duimomlaag:awful, just awful.. i wish they would stop making more stuff people shouldnt buy!

Yessir! Still gettin the grip from HS

Yea...my wife got a big website job and expects payment Monday(or tuesday) so she said she can lay it out if she doesnt have to give her portion of the rent for the next few months...so i of course agreed! As long as this person pays, when they say ,should be an easy pick up. It really is a great deal! The only downside is the chrome webley has a chrome grip..but thats ok. Assuming he just sprayed over the chrome...i can strip it down chemically, and can get beautiful molds off of the chrome parts. Im actually not on the list for the Hand-Schaub bronze webley, i just got a grip from him.

yes absolutely. The main parts are all the same. The ESB Promo is just a different rail(solid with those blocks) and the greeblies. I want to be able to offer both. I ordered mold rubber for the blaster parts and will be casting them in black onyx resin Thanks Seantrooper and Locitus..thats good enough for me. I have pics of that blaster, so i'll work off those. thanks guys! on a side note...my lovely wife as agreed to lay out the cash for me to pick up a Webley flare gun...so i will be offering Fett blasters in the future as well

No problem. Oh! that site is cool too! You can just get individual parts. Nice. On another note...does anyone have a good shot of the ESB promo blaster? Like the real deal? I need to see the blocks on the scope rail. Im going to be making the ESB promo kits to go with these blasters and i need a good reference for those. I kewep finding pics of the pugman and the tango ones...are either of these 100% accurate? They are easy enough to make, i just want to make them as accurate as i can. thanks folks
