Hi,
Thought I’d bore you all with yet another Doopydoos E-11 build. It’s not quite finished yet
but these are pics of my progress so far. It's not as detailed as many of the great build
threads posted here but if it helps someone along their way, great!
As I'm a first timer I'm posting this WIP so that if I make any glaring errors, hopefully
someone will point them out to me (along with any other advice you may have).
Many of the pics were taken for my instagram followers to see, so apologies for the quality.
Si.
P.S. Thanks to all the other builders who's ideas I've poached.
Unboxing (I know, sad).
Front sight shaped (have reworked it since).
Barrel drilled to take real M6 cap head bolts.
Marking for grip attachment dowels.
Scope rail parts (thanks for the design billhag!).
Modded the end cap. Heard stories of those little squares of plastic coming off so I made my twist lock a bit more robust.
Grip is fixed and really solid now. I have since filled the joints to make it look more welded. I know it'll be hidden by the arms of the folding stock, but still...
I've sanded down the face of my Hengstler so that I can do the number mod (once I get my TK digits). And added brass screws too.
Completed shaping of my aluminium scope rail.
Added some detail to the mag end (I dremelled out the lettering, chamfered the corners & embedded a BB).
Pinned the bayonet lug before gluing in place.
Glue drying on various bits (added "weld").
Reshaped the front sight, pimped the power cylinders and test mounted the scope & Hengstler.
That's all for now, more soon.
Si.
