  1. Hey guys I just wanted to apologize for any toes that were stepped on and realized how ahead of myself I got with my original post. I obviously let my fan boy excitement get the best of me when deciding to share the news of my new project, and can understand the suspicion based on the obvious lack of photographic evidence that I had failed to supply upon my initial post. PEDRO! Your parts are stunning and were a large part of my childish over zealousness to contribute to the blaster building community and a very strong inspiration once I found your etsy page! I would never blatantly disrespect or insult any fellow builder and re-cast anybody's hard work ever! Pictures of the process start to finish, as well as photos of the real sterling SMG I casted off will all be uploaded tomorrow along with my FISD ID name written on post it note that will be part of every photo to ensure I'm not some picture stealing google images bandit. I'll be making a trip to get into my buddies shop tomorrow afternoon once I get out of class. Again I would like to say I'm deeply sorry for my lack of clarification involving my building process and any suspicion raised from members I have purchased from in the past. I just wanted to join the ranks of you fellow kit makers and casters who have made my childhood dream of owning an accurate looking E-11 a reality!
  2. Lol I have no idea what the conversion is from quid to usd
  3. This goes out to all the E11 kit builders. Remember wearing down the tips of your fingers as you scoured the internet for how people build such amazing E11s? Or when you first heard the names doopydoo or scifire and the amazing hype attached to their products only to find out they cost an arm and a leg? Well like all of you, I've been there many times, and felt that frustration and anger of possibly having to settle for a spray painted hasbro because I don't have a trust fund. Well luckily for me, thanks to my having served for 4 years as an active duty soldier in the Army, I had the chance of meeting a historical firearms collector right outside of Boston, and I immediately asked him if he had any MG34's or Lewis Machineguns, or possibly a Sterling SMG in his collection. He laughed about the first two, them informed me he owned an authentic sterling. I was beyond floored! I then proceeded to spill my fan boy guts all over the shooting ranges parking lot, and asked if it would be ok if I got molds off of it, and after a very enthusiastic "of course" he then asked if I could build one for his collection. This threads purpose is to allow the newer generation of trooping enthusiast an easier route with less difficulty and scolding on forums for being misinformed or confused. I'm a full time college student not having to juggle kids, 40 hours a week, a wife, and then my hobby, so turn around time will be rather quick on these kits. All kits will be cast in Smooth-On Onyx Black Heavy Duty resin. Since I'm lucky enough to have so many great affiliations with historical weapons collectors, I've gotten to mold the goodies like an authentic Henglster, Both the long (ANH), and the short (ESB) style tank scopes. This kit being offered is kind of like the build to suit type blaster kit. I am casting all of the neccissary components to be able to provide builders an accurate affordable means to make: ANH stunt and hero E11, ESB stunt and hero E11, and a kit for an E11 Tunesia, which from personal observation, is a "figure it out yourself" kind of build. I honestly don't even want to try and begin to do an ROTJ E11 because of the whole T-Rack & greeblie debate. I haven't set a concrete price per kit yet, but I'd love some input from you guys as to what could be considered both fair and affordable. The kit will contain: front sight, front muzzle, T-Racks, folding stock assembly, magazine well with removable magazine, grip, trigger guard, trigger, safety selector switch, rear sight, rear cap, rear cap release, bayonet lug, hengstler counter, tank scope of your choosing, and power cylinders. This kit is intended for a pipe build, but for a nominal fee I can assemble and prime. If you just want an E11 that's finished, weathered, and ready to rock that's also an available option. If anyone has any input please let me know, because I don't want this to spiral out of control and before I know it I'm just as guilty of the aforementioned companies who in my opinion charge a bit much. Please PM me if you have questions, and I'll try and get pics up of my test casts from Sunday!
  4. I've seen that 3 piece design before....just don't remember where
  5. any chance you can send me the link? when i search the only post that comes up is my own
  6. Hey guys, picked up the 3 piece helmet kit with all the stuff to complete it. (NE Armor) Just mocking it up is causing my brain to want to fall out of the back of my head. Ive watched countless trooperbay tutorials but all I can find are the 2 piece builds. Any insight on what needs to get trimmed as far as back and face go? Ps the kit didnt come with instructions WOMP WOMP WOMP!
  7. Hey guys so I was wondering if anyone on here who has armor and lives in MA would be down with letting me vaccuform their get up so I can finally own some? I'm doing my kit in HIPS so you don't have to worry about melty bubbly PVC getting all over your armor, if it would make you more comfortable to hangout while I vaccuform it please stick around and have a few beers and maybe educate me on cleaning it up after forming and what not, I'd be willing to pay $100 to let me use your kit to form and to cover your gas and time. If you are down with doing me this huge favor please let me know!
  8. Hey guys just signed up and it's been a long going childhood dream to start trooping in all of its glory, but it's hard when your an 11 year old trying to make it a reality so now after some years (most spent as an active duty 19D in the US Army I finally have the time and money to start making it happen, wanted to start small with an E11 project and slowly start getting my feet wet. After scouring the Internet and finding the coveted doopy doos resin legend I figured I'd join the community and get some expert know how on where to find a proper resin kit for realistic money, I found a WW2 influenced paint ball site by the name of Cushmans Custom Creations and they had E11s that looked decent and were only $35 in the rough which is exactly what I'm looking for not just a replica straight out of the box, so just figured I'd see if anyone could make me aware of other sites along those lines price wise!
