OK some of you may know that I was considering buying a pre-built E off Ebay but decided against it & went for a Doopydoos kit form E11. Well it came & I've spent the last few weeks putting it together, unfortunately I didnt document it as I went, a combination of a hectic life and....actually thats the reason in a nutshell. Evenings after my 4 year old went to bed of on weekends whilst he & his friends ran in & out the house.
Anyway I proabably spent double what I would of had I bought the Ebay blaster having purchased the following :-
Doopydoos Kit
Hobby Tool & accessories (Dremel type tool)
Hack Saw blades
Brass rods for pins
M6 bolts
Aluminium rail 20mm
Aluminium 'L' rail 20X30mm
Humbrols paints, Primer spray can, Black Satin Spray cans, black gloss, 2 x different Metallic Silvers, Brass, Black Satin, Matt Varnish spray.
Glass Domes for rear scope
Small round mirrors for the front of the scope
Gorilla glue
I had an extendible curtain pole of which I used the inner to wrap the coathangers around & the out I cut short to use inside the barrel. I tried 4 types of coathanger none of which I'm happy with (wife had to buy new coathangers today lol) so I've bought some galvanised steel garden wire to try.
The brass rods I picked up from a model shop that was closing down. I cut them down into pins to strengthen the usual places, pistol grip, folding stock etc & I used the Christmas Cracker screwdriver trick for the front sight which also acted as a pin.
So this is the blaster mostly built minus the scope rail which was the worst part of the build, not having a workbench or vise etc.
