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 hope it will be worth the price for the winner.
Collectors pay sometimes insane prices for the MR stuff - but i noticed many of the MR collectors don´t buy them for their accuracy to SW, more for them being licensed rare collectibles. Something i don´t get, i never owned (or had in hand) a MR i was satisfied with. Always one or more inaccuracies. Due to that experience i refrained from buying the DH-17 even when they could be grabbed for around/under 200. So i can´t give a definite answer for the DH-17.
Replaced everything as soon as possible with real parts - just one of their Leia ANH DDC is still in my collection, but finally bought a second Margolin and have the other real parts, and as soon as i buld the ANH DDC i no longer need that MR toy abominaton (the second Margolin i have is already build as the ROTJ DDC).
Agreed the workmanship is cheap and they miss details or just did it wrong ,,, and if they had access to to real stuff they really sucked at coping ..LOL Nice to have for some references but thats it...
That being said,,I think these things will still get rarer and become more valuable.. as crazy as that sounds

Super cool scope today
Hard to get the camera to focus thru it,, but it perfectly clear

No chance of custom on this? Just curious.
No at this time,,, it would be hard to do this way... In the future i may mold individual pieces ...

The Master Replicas DH-17 is accurate. It's probably one of the best references for the barrel tip available to any Star Wars fan short of getting your hands on the screen used blaster, which MR did in order to produce their replica.
There is one on ebay its climbing pretty good....-
