It would be great to see any photos of the electronics and step of progress if you documented them. Electronics is still a foreign language to me so I am interested to learn more how builders mod existing kits or build them from the ground up. The double laser diodes look cool.

Great start. Nice work on fabricating your own bayonet lug. Looking forward to seeing this build progress.

I recently was able to download individual folders with all the photos, no problem. Not sure about downloading the entire collection of photos I uploaded to PB, but perhaps if done by folders, it works. It zipped them then I just extracted and uploaded to Imgur.

Great work so far. Painting can be the best and worst part. I understand your eagerness to keep working on it. I recently had a small mess up on another prop trying got work on it before the paint dried fully. keep up the great work!

Sure. Here it is: http://www.stormtrooperblaster.com/shop.html http://www.stormtrooperblaster.com/stormtrooper-blaster-accessories.html The site header says RA props but the web address title is stormtrooper blaster. Robert is great to deal with. Unfortunately I juts contacted him to buy some t track and he said operations were at a halt and resuming production of his inventory is uncertain at this point. Whats listed up is all there is at the moment and I did not see the stock listed. I just noticed in my rush to post a reply yesterday the original posting member wanted stock information not the actual folding stock... Stupid me.

RA Props makes amazing resin replica stocks, part for part realism. Price is good too. Fieldmarshall's aluminum stock is fantastic too. I would recommend these over waiting for a doopy.

Hi Erik. This is a tall order to find the correct setup for a functioning scope. I own several real scopes that I use to cast resin copies. I tried many times to find some alternative ways to transplant existing scope setups inside the M38 or M19 replica scopes but found it difficult to say the least. I will never say impossible as I know there are people out there with great ideas and knowledge to make it work somehow. I was able to buy the remaining stock of original prisms and prism cells for the M38s and M19s. Even with those prisms I could not get the correct lenses to make the scope work correctly. These were very precisely made back in the day. Having custom lenses and prisms made would cost me my kidney or kidneys so that idea went out the door quickly. But with all that said, I would keep testing various lenses and see if you can get the image to invert as you hope. Maybe someone with optic expertise can help figure out a good but cheap way to make this happen. Check out my resin scope kits on my FB page https://www.facebook.com/BulldogPropsJapan . These are exact copies of the original scopes inside and out so you could try and replicate the original lens/prism setup as closely as possible.

Hi Nicholas! Great to have you here. R1 troopers are very cool. I built a crystal patrol backpack a while back so I definitely hope to get some R1 armor someday to complete the package. Looking forward to seeing your build when you get the BBB. Interested to hear your thoughts on the 850 armor works armor when you get a chance to review it. Best of luck!

Just to let you know I am slowly working on my Bulldog44 links. Page 1 of my blaster build is almost done. Will try to make more progress on the other pages and scope topic soon.

Welcome Matt! Hope you can get back to trooping. Maybe you can get some nice thermals and brave the cold to troop in ND.

Greetings Dave! I had my RS armor kit in a box for 2 years before I completed it. I was so nervous to trim the parts and screw up. Members here were so supportive and gave great advice to reassure me along the way. Best of luck completing your armor. RS is a great kit to have and once your done it will look amazing. Hope to see you in the ranks soon!

Welcome Jessica! Great to have you aboard. Troopers look great no matter height we are. Once the helmet is on the fun begins and fans see us all the same. Wishing you many happy troops in the 501st!

Congratulations! Members like you keep the awesome vibe on this forum. Thanks for dedicating so much here and helping troopers.

Congratulations!!!! Epic EIB approval and one that is now in the history books!

Awesome!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!

Thanks. I will try to get on that soon to save anyone the agony of my 11 page build.

Sorry about this. I need to find out about how to display those pics without the watermarks. I only used the free Photobucket storage limit and never went to the paid version to remove the watermarks. If there is a way around this please let me know and I will try to fix my build topic.

The suspense is killing me.

Oh boy! Can’t wait!

Nice work on your blaster Darren. The red lights in the scope look great! Love that.

Super! Looking forward to seeing more!

https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/39650-anh-paint-colour-guide/ Not sure if this is exactly what you are looking to fix but the first photo in this post has photobucket watermarks.

Wow! Awesome blaster build! Sorry I missed this one and many others recently. Excellent documentation and the final piece is trophy. Well done!

Nice build so far! Check out the Blaster Reference for some more mod ideas if you have time. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/ Your bolt plate looks great. Not an easy mod to do and not easy to get the bolt plate to move like the real sterling without removing lots of resin as you mentioned. I know you said you already epoxied it into place but if you wanted to try and make it fully moveable check out the ejection port section in the blaster reference: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/?do=findComment&comment=414376 looking forward to seeing more updates!

Spectacular build Scott.
