As stated above: I used a textured black spray paint (by Rustoleum) on my E-11. And I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Wow, those are great shots!

Yeah, you really have to put it on pretty thick in order to get that super glossy surface. I know though it takes longer to dry that way, but it's worth the wait I think. But you should be able to fix it by sanding it smooth and either polish it up or re-coat it again with a glossy clear coat.

Detonator pipes were 2 3/4"... The ones that were screen used anyway.

Can you send a pic?

FUN FUN FUN!!

I drilled a hole into the top of my sterling barrel, and use a nut and screw to hold the back end. The front just notches in the first hole there towards the front. ---------

Aren't you going to paint everything white? I see you already started detailing the helmet.

Mike has a great template, thinking of ordering a couple myself.

No, it's not the hammered stuff. this stuff has more grit to it, and the hammered stuff has a glossier finish. I'll see if I can find the can I used and take a shot of it.

I have to figure measurements and I'll get them quoted. I'll keep you posted.

Looking good Trooper, nice clean build! And good choice of belt clips may I add?

Yeah, painting is pretty rough this time of year. Luckily, we had a few warm days last week, and I was able to sneak in some spray-painting on my latest lid. I have done a sandtrooper lid before, but didn't try to match the "move along" lid really at all. Although, it does have a fairly high brow.

Thanks Bro! I use Cinema 4D on the Mac.

Wow! I would rather have this lid over a TM any day! Terrell did a great job!

I'll take some more pics when I'm done detailing the paint chips. I sanded a few down a little too far, so the white came through. But I repainted them last night, now I just need to touch 'em up a bit, make them dirtier, etc. I did take some paint off the top, but not as much as the Dave M had. I have more pics here. I think it's Khaki, it has a hint of green to it. I think it looks pretty good. The trick is going over it again with some green/black paint washes, and a very light grit sandpaper.

You are welcome, glad to help! That's exactly what I did.

The front arm should fit the folding stuck pretty tight, so it shouldn't turn. A lot like the stand for the MR E-11 blaster.

Still playing with the design a bit on this, but I have a friend at a local fabrication shop. I need to narrow down the design first though obviously, before I can have them quote a price. I want it to fit the look and feel of the Empire. I'm guessing they won't be cheap, but hey... As we all know, you get what you pay for. Anyhow, let me know what you guys think. ---------

Awesome!

Terrell also makes his ATAs out of ABS plastic now, so... The one I got is HIPS, but I love my ATA. I do own two VT lids, but now with the price hike... ATA seems the way to go... not that it wasn't before. Terrell is a great guy to deal with though! Jess
