DKK 1060,- including shipping for both. Equal to aprox. €143 or $173 I'm installing a resin piece there, so I didn't ask.

These are 2mm steel. For the weight and the coldness they will have when holding them, as opposed to a resin or PVC tube.

I finally found someone local who could make these.

Thank you T-Jay

"Holy necro resurrection Batman!" I'm back to be building this. I have been long absent. Too many moves to count. But have finally landed at a stable place. Much have have changed. For one thing, I have sorted through a lot of boxes and found that I have parts for at least two full E-11s. And a lot to spare. Almost... I need some the metal hardware. The pibe I made myself is too inaccurate. And need some new ones. Plus scopes rails. Can anyone point me to a good reliable source, preferably within the EU? Thanks!

You're right, but I'll have to move the hole. It's an easy fix. The top cover isn't squared, but slightly askew. So it will only fit one way. And thanks!

Personally I find the difference to the better.

Thanks. It still need a lot of work though. The magazine is sanded and painted. The housing is not. The print lines are more evident IRL though. And it is a plus that I can print it in black ABS. The inside of the magazine is large enough for me to place the batteries that'll run all of the light and sound extravaganza! I'm thinking of 3D modeling a battery holder that will fit perfectly inside the magazine, and make magnetic locking system.

More progress. The parts for the magazine and housing has been printed. It still needs a lot of scratch built details. The Power Cylinders are fixed in place with screws. I know these are not originally there. But I'd Rather secure my parts as best as I can. The screws will be painted later, along with the weathering process.

I needed more room for indoor plumbing. And had two options. 1. Use the DD resin I already have, and these have all the correct Sterling text and markings. But will have to be Dremmeled out. 2. 3D print, and loose the markings. I chose the second option. Firstly, a lot of the text and markings will get covered underneath the Power Cylinders. And a lot of them are sitting on the underside. They are cool, But I don't consider them a huge loss. Especially as I'm already removing texts from a bunch other places. The Magazine is being printed without a huge part of the side wall. I will replace this with a piece of plastic sheet. Much easier than sanding print lines within the wave pattern.

I thought about it. But the area for gluing these in place is very small, and they would easily break off. So I purposefully left them off. Barely visible are also two supports I made underneath the cylinders. To make sure, if pressure was placed on them, they wouldn't break or bend.

The first thing I did when I started this project, was to order a resin kit from DD. Along with the M38, and the Hengstler as resin castings as well. So far I have remade the M38, the Hengstler, and now the Power Cylinders. And I will probably redo a few other things before I'm done. I Wonder If I will have a complete DD resin kit as spares. And could just these into the E11 I set out to build?

The main body of the M38 is painted.

Work has commenced on the M38 as well. The 3D print was sanded roughly. Just to know down the worst of the print lines. Then I added the texture effect, to simulate it being cast metal. On top of the texture I sprayed it with a filler primer, just to knock down the effect a bit. After this dried, the tops of the texture was sanded lightly. To give it a softer appearance. And finally it was spray painted with a flat black. After this I will add chipping in the paint to show some of the brass that supposedly is underneath. As well as other weathering effects.

The metal mesh has been installed in the front of the Hengstler. It'll be painted black, this is just to show it more clearly.
