Thanks, I fixed the Mag so will have to do. Still better than the original DD one

Managed to finish off the Blaster....

I have to say...Royal Mail in the UK are pretty poor

Apologies if I offended you Sonnen but I was just trying to contact you.

And to the best of my knowledge, having never had to deal with PayPal in that way before....it wasn't a full claim....just a call for resolution. I was awaiting a response before even considering a full claim.

It wasn't a big issue. I was just trying to get a response as I tried different methods with no joy. Had she sent notification that the item had been dispatched them it would have been fine. I hate upsetting anyone but I had run out of ideas that I knew of. I wasn't aware of the ridiculous timescale from Europe when an item from Illinois arrived in 5 days. A bit of communication would have made all the difference.

Gaz....to be honest I thought that was how it was....I followed the resin line which was the same wave pattern on both sides so assumed it was meant to be like that Sonnen.....as explained, tried several methods to contact you....no response. Didn't file a full claim....just a resolution so I could contact you via that means. Maybe you should tell ppl when you have shipped an item so they know that you have completed your side of the deal rather than letting ppl guess as to why over two weeks later, nothing???.

Hiya folks, Anyone know if there's an issue with Queen of Handguards? Been waiting for a D Ring I paid for a couple of weeks ago....nothing. Tried sending a PM but says she is not accepting messages? Any ideas?

Soon as the rail and D Ring come I can finish it off but the Gun is finished otherwise.

Thnx Zero. I really need to thank everyone who did a tutorial on the E11. I have used ideas from other builds and tailored them to my own lack of ability. I'm pleased how the power cylinders came out. Amazing what you can find if you scrat about in the garage. It's maybe a little too beat up for some people's liking but I like it. Just gotta wait for my rail to arrive now so I can finish her

Update time. Received my new magazine from Gaz, primed, painted and weathered. This is all new to me but it's a very intuitive thing to do. When weathering it was a case of thinking where scratches and wearing would occur. I used a dry brush technique having first primed, black hammerite and flat blacked the parts, used acrylics for the weathering and fine detailing. Just waiting for my rail and D ring to arrive before I can move on but quite pleased with results so far.

Thnx Zero

Question about paint....I understand that Resin requires special plastic paints to stop reactions but do I have to use plastic primer or can I use the Rust-o-Leum straight to plastic paint. On the Brightside, I have ordered one of Evilboys rail and Hengstler bracket combos.

Lovely job

Yeah Dark...I was following the master, lol No..I put it on before I read your thread but never really got a closer look until I saw one today then realised, DOH

Quick edit on my blaster....put the bayonet lug on the wrong way around, lol ( not the first though) Taken off and replaced facing the right way

Thnx Found this part on the circuit board. No idea what it is but looked like it could be used on my Hengstler so cut it off, dremeled out a hole and bingo!!!!! If I can find a spring I might be able to make it work

Don't suppose anyone knows if anyone makes the scope rail and hengstler brackets?

PM sent Gaz

Thnx Gaz

Thnx Sith. Bit late on this build but maybe next time. Hopefully a few welds around it will help.

Thnx for the encouragement Zero

Hi everyone, I wasn't sure wether or not I am experienced enough to produce a build thread but also thought without it that a I would find it harder to get direct input. I have read quite a few of the threads here and ai am very impressed with ( and a little intimidated) by some of the skills used. I particularly like Dark CMFs build which was superb. Living in the UK, I didn't have to wait too long for my kit to arrive and was happy to see it turn up with all the packaging in one piece. Straight out of the box, I was impressed by the apparent quality First thing I did was give it all a good wash in soapy water and clean all the parts up a bit using my Dremel style tool and and Wet & Dry. My skill level at this kind of thing is limited and my tool shed is devoid of decent tools so I opted to not go for working trigger mod. I did however like the idea of getting rid of those silly blobs at the end of the barrel and replace them with real Allen screws. Having tidied up the foresight, ai also opted for cross hatching it and also adding an actual sight. I was lucky enough to find some garden wire in my garage which once painted will make a decent fake spring. I found that wrapping it around a drumstick worked best. For extending the working parts a bit I decided to use part of a self injector pen that I use for my Chrohn's disease. It fits in the barrel nicely and I like the white plastic piece that the spring slides over nicely. I wanted to improve the look of the power cylinder so went scratching around my garage looking for parts to use. I found an old circuit board that hade some interesting bits on that I could use. Pieces were removed and glued together. Although certainly not the best mod, I do think that once it's painted that it'll look ok. Digging out the old resin cylinders was traumatic and took ages but I did finally get them out and cleaned up the main part. I am currently waiting for some green stuff to arrive so that I can add some welds to the part joints and also to fill some mold bubbles. I have cleaned up the Hengstler ready for adding a counter window. Any help or advice on what I have done so far will be very welcome.
