Totally amazing and awesome! I am playing the trooper in SWTOR and you've nailed the suit perfectly. Fantastic!!!

Didn't know I needed to rinse the parts before mounting. Oh well, lesson learned there. The paint I used is a paint & primer mix. It's adhering well just really bringing out the flaws in the resin. I'll sand down the areas tonight and reapply a coat of base paint (hammered gun metal grey) and see how that goes.

Hey guys! Got a question... After painting my blaster with the first coat of paint I noticed that some of the resin pieces have tiny air bubble holes. Is that normal? How can I get rid of them? Do I need to sand the part and then repaint or just try a second coat? Thanks in advance for the advice. Dave

Well, it's ready to paint. I made a few mistakes here and there but overall I think it'll pass for an Imperial Blaster. One thing I regret is using that JB Weld putty instead of bondo. The JB Weld was ridiculous to work with after it cured!!! Anyways, here it is... Will probably put the silver coat on tomorrow night, assuming it doesn't rain.

Thanks! That keeps is simple!

Ok, I got to spend about an hour with my new pet project. Got a few things accomplished but sadly couldn't get the darn thing cracked open. There's glue along the sight rail and I am afraid I am going to break it. Anyways, here's what I managed to accomplish tonight: Trimmed off the notch along front bottom of the barrel. Not sure if I was supposed to or not but too late now. Trimmed off the front of the scope. Not as easily done when still in one piece. Trimmed the trigger a little. Nothing special but I think it looks better than before. Trimmed up the sight rail. This was harder than I expected because my Dremel wouldn't get under the scope. So I had to use a hack saw and then a metal file to clean everything up. I think it turned out ok considering. Here's my latest progress pic...

Speaking of T-Tracks...do I need to drill new holes on both sides of the barrel or just one side? I can't tell from your pictures or Zarlon's (shown below).

Hey guys! When I crack this thing open what are the things that I need to do inside? Modify trigger Upgrade LED (if desired) Anything else?

Hey guys! I've seen a few guys mention that it was a good idea to start my own build thread so I can ask questions along the way. So with that said, here I go... I got my Hasbro E-11 blaster today and got started with a few small steps this evening. Removed the scope caps on both ends Removed the orange tip and housing around the LED. Sanded down the legal mumbo-jumbo. I was going to crack it open and get started with the work in there but dinner called and so I had to pause for a bit. I should probably take baby-steps on this anyways and not try to bite off more than I can chew in one day. BTW...Here's a pic of my little setup/work space in the garage. To be continued...

I received my mod kit from DoopyDoos yesterday. Blaster should be here by tomorrow or Thursday if the USPS tracking is correct. Looking forward to getting started and using your build thread and Fuumantroop's to guide me through it.

The Emperor will be pleased

Thanks Andrew!!! I am planning to do the standard DoopyDoos mod. Not super handy with crafty type of projects so I am not expecting great things from myself.

That's some serious awesomesauce! Great job!!!

Oh yea, BTW...I got the mag yesterday in the mail. Totally awesome! Can't wait to mount it. Thanks again Steve!!!
