  1. Had a bit of a panic on last night. Drilled out the underside of the folding stock to look more in-keeping with the originals, the drill snagged and chipped the corners of 2 holes. After the initial bout of profanity had subsided I went to it with a blob of milliput (epoxy putty). Here it is now with all the chips and main joint filled in and sanded. I couldn't go as deep with the final hole as that's where my joining dowel is, still, it's looking good enough for me. It has now been fixed onto the blaster and is happily drying. More pics soon. Si.
  2. The dream is becoming a reality.

  3. 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.
  4. Looking awesome! I'm still torn as to whether to go for the 1.5 or 2mm TM kit and each time I see a thread like this I change my mind. Hopefully I'll have my mind made up by the time I place my order in a couple of weeks.
