Cheers mate!.., I reckon it is good enough for an eventual CEN certification?

Yes finally..., but I need to find another project soon, to keep me preoccupied until my armour gets here

End result ( except the target/aim thingy for the scope).... All feedback is appreciated

I must say that it looks quite battered, and thus fits a Sandtrooper well, again it all comes down to preference. It is a nice build indeed. If you have not seen my build, you could check it out, to see a more subtle weathering.... But again, nice blaster!

Arrrgh misunderstood you Mathias, the front ofcourse means where the counter is....doh!!...have just blackened the front again, and will start weathering the real rear end

Weathered the Hengstler, and I also blackened the rear end of the scope, that foil looked ridiculus....will find those aiming/target thingies.

Cheers again Mathias...very helpful...will do some very subtle weathering then, on the rear of the Hengstler...

Nice weathering, a little more than I personally like, but taste cannot be discussed☺ Just a few minor points. The scope is made of brass, and the screws as well, so the weathering should be brass....

Finished the Hengstler.....it's not good, but it's ok...thanx to Simpixel for the numbers (which will be changed when I get my TK number). The scope ends will be changed eventually..that CD foil is quite hard to work with.....😤😠Is the Hengstler weathered in any way?...cannot seem to find a definite answer..... Scope front end Scope rear end and Hengstler I know that the glass in the counter window is supposed to be rounded, but I've tried without luck...and truth be told, that Hengstler really annoys me right now, so another future upgrade.....

Tack så mycket Mathias, thanx so much coming from a "details man" like you, it means a lot

Well I managed to 'save' my mistake, and while it is drying I had time to finish the weathering, glossing the handle, filling the folding stock screws, and picking out details on the scope...I think the paint job went quite well😊 Here are some photos in a higher resolution than normal: Scope details and weathering Blaster weathered and detailed Handle glossed Front details Bolt, spring and cockinghandle details ( I know that the number of coils are incorrect, but that will do for now) Magazine details

Here's a link to the stand...It fits this blaster perfectly:-) ..http://www.doopydoos.com/stormtrooper-hasbro-conversion-blaster-stand-kit-2647-p.asp

Arrrrgh I fu.... Up my Hengstler counter for the second time now!...I put the display and reset button upside down...again..(you nitwit Soren...grrrrr)... Will need to fill and grind again tomorrow.......for crying out loud!.

Thanks...but I must admit that I was not perfectly clear when I said I "made" the stand. I only assembled, and painted it.........you can buy it at doopydoos.....

Thanks so much

Thanx a lot!.☺...yes the Devil is in the detail......I love details.....

Looking good...:-)... We'll see how good mine will hold up...

Finished the baselayer of paint. Fixed the bolt, attached the fire selection lever, spring and cocking handle. Started the weathering, which will be slight. I have used four differnt shades of metallic/silver, and primarily used drybrushing, and highlighting techniques. The paint used is the same as I use when I paint Warhammer miniatures. To do list includes continued weathering, filling the screws that attach the folding stock, glossing the handle and T-bars, fixing the scope ends, and making the front on the Hengstler counter.....looks like I will finish before the weekend...fingers crossed

Looks absolutely fantastic! I have used your thread as one of my sources when I started building my own e-11

tacker så mycket :-) yeah right you are

You are soo right! I experience the same thing, and every time I Watch Star Wars now, I pick up all the minor "faults", like Black tape holding together a shoulder bell on a sandtrooper, or that the special edition added stormtropers in the desert are not wearing ANH armour etc.

Hmm from the pics I´ve seen they look more plastic like and different than the rest of the weapon.. Nice feature , DVH seems like one of the most sexy kits out there...the reasoon I did not buy one, is that I had already bought the Doopydoos kit.

I think I know what you mean now. You cannot detach the ring, because that would cause the resin to break? You need a pair of pliers that open outwards, think they are called ringopeners..that shoud do the trick

Just found this over at Deviantart... Simply love all the retro recruiment, ad, etc. Posters out there..and this one is no exception.😊😊😊..eventhough there are some mistakes in the pictured blaster.
