[JP's doopydoos E11]

i was looking to get  a one part 5 minute glue as i have seen in other builds

 

eg tamiya and e6000

 

 

i went to a hobby shop and came home with this  (now not sure if it was my decision or the guy behind the counters)

My first mistake , Maybe.

 

 

 

 

in one of my favorite e11 build threads the guy(dont know his name right now soz) hollows out the folding stock front piece.

 

 

he'd used a dremel tool to do this.

 

 

i'd just bought a dremel today and remember earlier seeing the same bit and thinking wtf is that bit used for.

 

 

 

 

 

so naturally i was into it drilling and boring away full steam .

 

 

 

 

 

i made a meal of it . it looks terribad. im hoping i can hand file it flatter and after the paint job it wont stick out as bad as it does right now.

 

 

 

 

 

i figured id spent enough time today and just wanted to not touch the main barrel again untill tommorrow to give the grip handle a proper cure time.

whilst i researched i discovered that the piece i thought was part of the charging handle and would got inside the main barrel was actually the rear stock catch   

 

 

 

 

so i figured i could wack it on and the grip handle at the same time.

 

 

both have marks for positioning on the barrel.

 

 

 

 

 

i carved them both a little . just rounded them out a bit for a better match to the barrel .

 

 

then glued and used rubber bands to fix in place.

 

 

 

 

 

again they moved around alot getting them into place adn i spread alot of glue which i just cleaned up abit with a rag 

 

 

i had planned to definetly pin the grip handle but choose not to (hope i dont regret this)

This piece took way more research time then i was planning .

 

 

 

 

My delema was where exactly were. the Magazine release button and powercell fuse, suppose to be mounted on the magazine receiver.

 

 

 

 

 

again looking at other builds i found so many slightly different positions most of which conflicted with how i would have naturally positioned them if i wasn't trying to follow instructions.

 

 

 

 

 

on my magazine receiver there was a circular mark i believe to be the position for the release button but if i put it there i felt the powercell fuse would look different to the majority if finished builds ive now researched.

 

 

 

 

 

So in the end i just followed my gut put the button on the mark and put the powercell where it fit best from there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I swore for the first time putting this togther.

 

 

i had glue and rubber bands every where and parts slip sliding around ......which you can probly see the excessive glue in the photos.

I started with the front site 

 

 

 

 

So far this part needed the most work to grind out . Saw alot of different finished products on FISD and they all varied 

 

 

so i just stopped when i thought it looked ok

 

 

 

 

 

ground a piece of flat head screw driver for the sight

 

 

 

 

 

Also i had big plans of pinning all my parts aswell as glueing. Had a drama with this piece my plan all went pearshaped .

 

 

so i just glued it.

 

 

tbh i'm now think that pins aren't really going to make much differences for most of the parts. (time will tell if im right)
