  1. Quick question...ive seen multiple builds with the t tracks covering up all the holes on the muzzle, and also some that leave the front hole, or blowback shield, open...which is the correct way?
  2. Well, nothing too fancy tonight. Just glued some of the DD kit to my hasbro. And glued some hex screws to the blaster tip. Basically just worn out from the work week. Also has been raining so painting is out of the question anyways. I may hollow out the front sight tomorrow, but we shall see! Working 50+ hours a week for the past month is slowly draining me. Enjoy the pics! I was brave and used zap a gap for the resin parts, but im pretty happy with how it turned out!
  3. And your housing idea is pure genius! Thanks again for the help!
  4. could be! But ya never know the specs. I bought two different kinds of this size, but decided on this one as it was brighter, with the specs being practically the same
  5. Back at it tonight...i wanted to make a mount for my led before the muzzle...so i looked around and found an old rubber footing that came with my bass amplifier that I won't ever need again(i rack mounted my amp).. Went to radioshack yet again, to find another LED since the negative lead broke off the one i just installed, and also picked up some LED holders Slipped the mounts through the rubber foot, and also dremmeled a but off to fit more securely inside the blaster(forgot to take pics, sorry!). Also found my old LED flashlight and took it apart to use the led housing from inside. And this is what i got So i went ahead an glued it inside the hasbro using zapagap..only glued the rubber inside as the heat shrinks held quite nocely through the smaller hole of the rubber. Test fire! And no its not really pink! Its my stoopid phone lol In the dark held together with the other side...pew pew pew! Since my flashlight is scrap now, i decided that ill use the small plexiglass for the very front of my scope! So i trimmed it down a hair I also dremmeled some holes so my speaker cuts through better after I install the resin pieces..hopefully tomorrow! Not perfect, but as long as the exposed side looks decent I am happy! And heres a test fit That was it for tonight! Hopefully ill glue the DD pieces to the hasbro tomorrow! Then its on to painting while its still in two pieces that way i can get the inside of the muzzle without painting my led on accident!
  6. Thanks! I learned that from machining lol. One day when production hopefully slows down im going to have my boss make some programs to create a custom blaster follow me on the hasbro build! About to upload some updates there
  7. Its not as hard as it seems! I am thinking about trying the cut up CD with a plastic cover for the front, but we'll see...gonna try to put it back together tonight..just have to make a holder for the led...
  8. And making my led be big bada boom! Lol
  9. Thanks Tomas! I was thinking about replacing the barrel with a more accurate pvc pipe, but since it is just a hasbro, i decided to hold off on that. Maybe if i get bored down the line i will go ahead and replace it, but for now i decided to keep it. I have found a couple of hasbros on ebay, i know the disney store online used to have them. Maybe even amazon?
  10. Then again with A LOT of help(as i am no expert in electronics by ANY means) to Zarlon, i was able to wire a bypass, then install a brighter and better LED...my plans are to light up the barrel Purchased from radioshack for about $3 And replaced the regular old alkalines with some Energizer Ultimate lithiums And BIG BADA BOOM! I was so excited that the light actually worked, and the batteries REALLY made a difference in sound volume, that i hurried to semi put the other piece of the blaster together to see the barrel light up...that...the negative lead to the led came out beyond repair....will have to run to radioshack tomorrow for another replacement :/ I got bored and put the old LED on for giggles, and the batteries even made THEM shine brighter! I have no pics yet...hopefully will be some tomorrow
  11. After my drill was charged, i drilled pilot holes Then commenced using a regular 7/16s drill i got from work Also used small hobby files and sandpaper to touch up after the drilling
  12. Then got a template from the best sterling thread...and taped it to the barrel While awaiting for my drill to charge..i went ahead and hollowed the front of the scope...always sidetracked by the scope!!
  13. I have to also thank Zarlon for his current thread for all of his help on this build! And also to ALL the otheres here on fisd For your previous posts!
  14. I also purposely left a gap between the ends of the charging cord that I will fill with bondo or E6k and paint it. This will hopefully make it easier to take out the decal and replace when the time comes
  15. I decided instead of try to hollow out the original hasbro scope cover, to use the ever so popular tape roll replacement.. Then, i wanted a way to mount my newly made lens so that I could easily take it out and replace the decal if I wanted to later on...i used a cut up old android usb charging cord that my cats Luke and Leia decided to chew apart...rebel scum! Here are the results...i will add the picture later on after Im done being sidetracked by the scope! I didnt fully take of the leftover adhesive from the tape that was once on it, so the roll got a bit dirty..will clean it up before I actually need it
  16. Found the scope decal i wanted to use And had to make a trip to office depot for ink to print out wedding invitations, so while i was there, i picked up a small magnifying glass for my scope And heres what I got after sizing it down Then printed the scope decal on some HP 5x7 advanced photo paper..i resized the image in microsoft word in two sizes. One was 1", and the other 1.1" The 1.1" fit perfectly..test fit
  17. Hello fellow troopers! Just wanted to share my build with everyone that may be interested. Im currently awaiting for my armor, so like many of you, i decided to pass the time with an E-11. I decided to go with a Hasbro E-11 Doopy Doo conversion, mainly because I found the combination for a good deal from a local-ish garrison member. First off, heres my blaster, along with the DD kit, and some snaps I ordered that happened to make it into the photo Another pic of the Hasbro Me taking off the small scope cover, i used the traditional flathead/hammer combo for the scope Then comes the dreaded front cover Not too much damage done, and please excuse the pic quality! Another shot And of course, my son HAD to get an action shot Off comes the orange ugliness Then pried the hasbro open Luckily with little to no damage! Reshaped the trigger a bit, not accurate, but this actually gave me more trouble than i imagined, so I just went for it(anythings better than the original hasbro trigger) Time to cut off the front And was able to avoid the led! Time for more dremmeling! Sanded off the legal blah blah blahs
  18. Think I found a way to mount my scope lens and have it be removable to change the decal out later. What I used Invisible tape roll(to replace my original scope cover) Small magnifying glass(for the lens, dremmeled a small magnifying glass to fit my scope) An old black android usb charging cord(cut up to fit the tape roll) Tape roll is dirty..havent had time to get the left over adhesive from the tape previously on there) Purposely left a gap to fill with E6K, or bondo, to make removal easier in case i would like to change out my "target" Hows that for thinking outside the box
  19. This one..buy two if you can...like i said, mine broke..but partially because i was excited and rushed to fit the other half on to see it in the dark
  20. And not trying to hi jack your thread sir! Just offering some friendly advice on the battery. Unfortunately my LED broke off at the connection to the light :/ off to radioshack to buy another LED tomorrow...
  21. Nevermind I got it done pretty easily thanks to you! Btw, replace the AAs with these! Makes a HUGE difference in sound AND led brightness! Got this at radioshack With the ultimate lithium AAs
  22. Thanks a bunch! So it looks like he basically just added that bypass wire, and then everything else was just the same? Like connect the led to the connections that were originally attatched to the original led?
  23. If you can post specs of it that would be great. After seeing the blue light switch to red on your mod now i want to do it lol! Can ya post exactly what was done please! Along with specifics on the electronics mods
  24. How did ya mount the lens on the rear of the scope?
