Count me in

I have been gathering parts and pieces since my last build... Many thanks to T-Jay for all the help and ideas, to Field Marshal..........WOW!!!! what can I say... his E-11 is damn near perfect. Also, to Dday's Pheonix Props kit, this kit is the base for this build. I just recently figured out how to repost pics. This time I am using IMGUR since photobuckets change to policy. I started with Field Marhal's M38. Since this is Aluminum, I used a Zinc Chromate primer. Once dried I used a base coat of Vallejo Bright Brass. I also "cast" the number 2 from my 1943 M38.. simply Hobby Lobby mold and resin I then over sprayed with a 2:1 Vallejo bright brass and brassy brass. I think I got the color close. I then used a super light layer of Vallejo sandy paste. Once dried I lightly sanded the "sand" with 1000 grit sand paper to give it texture. Once compete I covered with Vallejo chipping compound. I then painted it black and used water to "chip" the paint. This part takes practice and you can remove too much. But, the good thing is you can wipe it all off with water and start again. Once I got it where I liked it, I sealed it with Vallejo metallic varnish. Instead of using an airbrush for the varnish, I brushed it on. If you look at the original you can see brush strokes. I brush stoked the long axis... ooops, it should have been around the circumference. Ohh well. I dusted it with some real dirt and then darkened the white lettering. I used the "red/orange" lens from Tino's kit. I placed it behind to one that came with the M38... it gives it a pretty neat effect. Here is a close up of the chipping on the M38 and a side by side shot.

I would like to get one. Do you offer technical help of needed? I live about two hours from Munich. This would be my first attempt. I thought about putting this in Fieldmarshalls upcoming E-11. Along with the pwhiteows new display that fits in bulldogs hollow M38 or in the Phoenix props that I am building now

Count me in for a DH-17 as well.

Me too. This is an awesome E-11. It will be the best available. Yup that is true. Nothing would be as good as the real thing.

Chris, I am having trouble posting pics since the update. I sent you a pic with ID of the Doopy Doos to your Facebook. Edit: Think I fixed it..... aghhhh nope. Can't get it to share from Amazon Drive. Edit... got it to work using IMGUR

Is the 54 Euro for the board only? Or does it include the peripherals and wave files?

great work. Amazing

I am like a kid waiting for Christmas and your posts are the Sears Wishbook. The plastic top piece and window look great. Can't wait to see your finished Hengstler.

Chris I am on vacation but I will check my DD when i get back. With the DD kit the bolt face is part of the molded resin. I had to raise the portion of the bolt behind the charging handle to make it look symmetrical. I will send you some pics with calipers.

I am glad you're making the rings separate. Cause I need one to replace a resin one that I just broke.

The ID of the Doopy kit is too small. The bolt will not fit.

Keep up the good work

Chris<br><br> Great update. Looks like I will be placing another order soon. Lol.

I will definitely be buying the large eagle version when it is ready. Great work. Can't wait for my M19 to arrive. :-)

Impressive is an understatement. This M19 will be the highlight of any E-11. Chris you outdid yourself. I will be placing my order on http://www.warmachinepaintball.com/online-store-replicas/today.

These should sell quickly. You can count me in to buy one. Outstanding work

Amazing

I just need to start making payments on this Blaster... Who knows, I might buy two of them.

I cannot wait to own one of your Blasters.... truly the best I have seen

Simply amazing.... WOW!!!!!!!

Finding the Sherman was pretty cool. Still looking for that "hidden pile" of replacement scopes in an old warehouse. Lol

For some reason I can't attach pics. I will send them to you

Chris I found a Sherman Tank today. Too bad the sight was missing. <br><br><a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://s1341.photobucket.com/user/Twnbrother/media/Facebook/temp%20folder/2EA5CA00-B744-49F1-9652-E6FD42568ED5_zps9sztujlq.jpg.html' class="bbc_url" title="External link"><img src="http://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o755/Twnbrother/Facebook/temp%20folder/2EA5CA00-B744-49F1-9652-E6FD42568ED5_zps9sztujlq.jpg" alt="2EA5CA00-B744-49F1-9652-E6FD42568ED5_zps"></a>
