I got Steve's Mag! (last week, actually). been busy... I will post pics of everything when it comes in... might be a while, yet. I contacted doopy doo for a tracking number and they responded that they were re-doing the molds and would e-mail me when the package is sent, with a tracking number... I'm not gonna gripe. It's not how I would do business, but it's not my business, so I'll just be patient and wait enthusiastically. gonna be a bit longer, though.

I just ordered the Mag replacement... couldn't resist! Steve is good people. OH, and I saw the build with the trigger thing; very cool. I just might have to do that. What good is a blaster if it doesn't go "PEW-PEW" right?!? Pics, yes. I can't wait to take some. LOL I have the templates for the scope rail, too, so things are coming together nicely. I would love to put some sounds in, but that is too much for this one, I think. I wanna be able to work the Comicpalooza in May. If I get my TK by then, it'll be a miracle, as is. I will let y'all know when the boxes start getting here. I am sure I'll get the mag, first, but if Doopy Doo gets me the kit sooner than 30 days that'll be sprinkles in the pudding! PS-I know I don't have a bunch of posts under my belt, but I have been lurking and learning for over a year now. And I have had the pleasure of working a few events as a handler, so I got my whole leg in the door at this point. I'll be a member of the Star Garrison, South Squad, I believe, when I get my TK registered with the 501st. Lots of great people! I love it.

I am not planning to go all out. I want to scribe some of the "joints" to give it a cleaner look, and I am going to add the scope rail, because I didn't see that the kit comes with one. I found a tutorial and blueprints for that here. I think I may add the extra holes in the barrel, too. I have my ATA helmet and armor to build, already, and I am anxious to get trooping. My E-11 v2 will be a doopy doo with all the trimming, and some bells and whistles to go with it, but I am just going to keep it simple for now. Eventually I am going to scratch-build a sterling replica out of aluminum and pimp it out, but that is down the road. I scratch-build models, sculpt and I have a lot on my plate right now. So I will focus on the basics now, and add the bling later. Thanks for all your comments, already. I have been a member here for some time. I am happy to finally be able to show off my work. When I start my bucket, I'll post a link here, if anyone is interested. If any of you would insist I should do anything further to this first E-11 than what I have indicated, I am open to suggestions, so long as they are not costly mods. (I am on a budget.)

you're joking, right?!? I was lucky enough to snag one this morning... got the notification- blank e-mail, no subject, and jumped on it. It'll be my first one. Can't wait to get it. The 30 day wait seems disappointing, though. gotta love capitalism!

I realize this is a little preemptive, but I just got an email this morning from Doopey Doos to let me know he had the full kits for the E-11 in stock, and so I dropped everything, sped to the site, and ordered one... I just got my ATA armor in the mail last week and I am getting things together for my build. I don't know how long it'll take to get approved, but I hope I can get things ready by Comicpalooza, in May. So as soon as I get my blaster parts in, I will let y'all know and begin putting it together. The reason I started this thread early was to give anyone a chance to throw some tips at me. I have been researching things quite a bit, but you can never be too prepared... This will be my first E-11, and my first armor, so I am uber nervous. The goal is ANH Armor, ANH blaster. This is where the fun begins! Thanks for your your support, in advance.

I just wanted to bump this and see if those E-11 plans were still going to be posted. It would be nice to have something accurate.
