I'm Batman

To get a true E-11 replica, I guess you have to start with a true Sterling replica. You're well on your way Tino!

You should be able to copy the IMG code and paste here, like this

I like that option. I use a 2 part epoxy resin, so I have plenty of time to slide the piece around, get in in the right position. Downside is that you need to tape the piece and wait a long time for it to set before moving onto the next part.

52mm from curve of slot to end of bolt. Mine is only a replica, but should still be within a mm or so.

No probs at all - will do when I get home from work tonight (if no one else chimes in beforehand)

Lots of great progress and execution there David. As Matt said, unless it's going to bother you, I wouldn't worry about the misalignment too much unless you think you can fix it easily. People (and you) will only ever see it if you hold it at that exact angle, which won't be often, if at all.

Haha. Gives me something else to play with

My previous selector switch http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/29089-dvh-pipe-build-with-extras/page-3? was nice but a lot of work, so I took an easier option for this build. A 2.5mm jack connection: The obligatory dremel carving Male pin epoxy'd in: The pieces about to go together And together More good things about this kit are the 2 piece grip, as mentioned earlier, the way the trigger guard goes on - it can be installed without glue! Although it's a bit loose, so I probably will glue it. Ok, so waiting for a few parts to come in, Tino's completion set, and some drawings to do on this stock/bipod idea..... Thanks for checking in. Any feedback welcome. Ian

Trigger: Inserting a ballpoint pen spring to act as the trigger spring has become common practise these days, but I wanted something with a bit of noise! Why not use the same switch as I did the Magazine release button. Something like this: Two piece grip has made it a little easier to work with Time to bust out the dremel to get that sucker in there Forward/Back Puttied over and loosely put back together And a bit of Youtube action (turn your volume up!) Other minor grip mods coming up in a few minutes....

Trust you to come up with a good idea Aaron! And thank you Chris. Glad you could stop by Hmmm, I was thinking something along the lines of this: with a folding tactical grip (like the one in front of the magazine above), with perhaps a bipod up front - DLT19-esque. But could I make a standard folding stock into a bipod? I'm not very clever when it comes to that. Making something that works from scratch while maintaining the strength it will need. Can I buy a bipod and put the folding stock section onto the legs? Let me think on that one some more. And yes, and update to come tonight

Awesome!

Looking fantastic Tino.

Don't worry Mike, there'll be people like me who'll manage to lower it again....

Disclaimer - These are pretty crap pieces so will have a lot of green stuff and putty/filler on them. Pics won't look super great until primer is on. Stay with me.... First mod - The Magazine release catch. Yes, totally pointless, but I like things that move and click . After seeing the mod done recently (I won't name names, as I'll probably forgot who did it first or who did it best, but you know who you are...). Found these lamp switches at Jaycar. Seemed to be about the right size for what I wanted. Cut whopping big hole in magazine housing Trim down switch so above hole can be smaller Switch in and green stuff around opening Button up And down Ejector was still drying, so retaining screw will be drilled in there shortly..

Bulk of the resin parts I'll be using are from a free (Thanks Chris) DVH kit. I'm guessing it's a version 1 kit as it's different to my other E-11 build and has the 2 piece grip. I won't go into all the details and pictures other than to say this kit needs A LOT of clean up. It has some very good details, but some terrible ones too. Hengstler counter will be from a Doopy Doo part as the DVH was beyond use. First mod - the trigger. Hah, not really, just a lot of green stuff to bring it back into shape. That's the sort of stuff I'm dealing with. Hey, it was free Will post up more later tonight

And pop rivets are CENTURION approved! And you don't need charging handles for Centurion anymore either.

Depends whether you want it functional or not. General wire looks great but does not hold "spring" so can't be used to recoil. I picked up some Pirtek and Enzed, an industrial hydraulic hose supplier. Its used to go around the outside of rubber hoses for protection. Apex Guns, and similar places, carry the originals, but are currently out of stock...

Haha. Yeah, US$115- from Roy. Suffice to say, I have another local option....

Heya! Thanks for checking in from Japan bud. You should hook up with Brian (Bulldog44) up a few posts and say g'day for me

Haha, thanks Brian. 2 weeks after drilling the holes I'm still getting grief from my wife who keeps stepping on metal shavings in the garage... With you there Bill. I guess I could have just made the folding stock fixed to keep the 'look', but I've decided to ditch it in favour of other goodies. When you google sniper rifle, the above pic comes up together with the slightly modified DLT, so this build will be a bit of a combination of everything - E-11, DLT, F-11D, chinese eBay stuff......

When this thread was posted a little while back, http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32527-sniper-blaster-rifle/I thought "cool, gotta build myself one of them just for fun". So I've started. Not being a canon weapon within Star Wars, I'll post it here in the General Section and see if there's any interest to what I'm doing. This is the inspiration: Step 1: Acquire about 1500mm long piece of 38mm aluminium pipe, lay templates and proceed to drill 296 holes! And so the saga begins..... Feel free to check in, like, leave comments, whatever and I'll keep the build log going... Cheers

Bipod, at the front. Like a Tripod, but only 2 legs

Good progress. Nice idea for the front of the folding stock. I had the benefit of a metal receiver Is the mag release button functional, or just a 'real' button?

Yes, we should. Although it will be interesting to see what people will do with them. Don't most kits come 3D printed in basically perfect screen condition already

Doopys sell their counters on their own. Otherwise you could try "Striker" here on the forum, or check the for sales thread for a real one. Cylinders - other than making your own, not sure. There's one slightly inaccurate, but not too bad one on Shapeways.
