  7. Awesome looking E-11 Blaster. Thoughts?

    Ok settle down fellas.  Chris is offering a very specific product.  It is a replica of an E-11 that is very detailed made out of metal parts.  Hence the cost.  Whoever is in the market needs to first figure out what they are after.  Do you want a highly detailed replica of an E-11 which in turn comes with a high cost?  Or do you want an E-11 that you can be more rough with and have it lighter to be more comfortable to troop with at a lower price point?  This hobby has all types of extremes and everyone would need to figure out what their end goal is. 

     

    When I first started I bought a kit from DDay which was resin and a CNC milled barrel.  Put it together and it was a fun little build.  But I quickly realized that it wasn't going to work for me for trooping because A) it was a little more on the fragile side and I am a rough person and B it was very heavy.  I then opted to get a Hyperfirm and haven't looked back since.  It is very light and won't break.  Also remember, that if your goal is to do a lot of trooping you will have children constantly trying to touch everything so you may want to figure out if you can handle a child constantly poking and touching your props.

     

     

    It is hard not to take comments like that personally . and i totally agree with your response Steve...  There is a place for all levels of collecting and building................. i prefer these thread talk about cool prop building and finding vintage screen used parts....   Getting ripped because it not cheap enough sucks...

    I emailed the guy and then someone else about the weight of a resin blaster, and both said a little over 2 pounds.  I was very interested in the aluminum one until   I relaized that the magazine is sold separately for $99 more.    No thanks.

     

    Better to have those separate..   they are made from the real sterling mag... Its a problem shipping over seas and to some states. As far as the cost of the vintage mag and the time it takes to make those 90.00$ i think is fair. 

    If you are comparing the level of detail to a resin version, granted there are many. My Aluminium parts are highly detailed and with the proper builder can be extremely realistic. If your going to have a negative attitude about what i do then STOP FOLLOWING THIS THREAD. My parts are not for all builders , there is plenty of cheap stuff  available.   I dont do this for a living , I do this because I want to build GREAT props that are as true to the real stuff as i can.   Maybe before you judge my stuff with a NO THANKS ,,, Maybe you should know the differences in quality and realize that i use real vintage found parts to laser scan a replicate these in metal...  And make them functional, movable,  and they disintegrate when they get in the sun ...

    Just because you do not think its worth the money don't put down the people that enjoy this level of prop making!!!!!

     

    MERRY CHRISTMAS

    That's the aforementioned fieldmarshall blaster, linked below. Very nice. Very expensive. And very heavy. Haha.

     

     

    It not hard to assemble and depending on your skill at painting it needs to be disassembled to do that properly...

     

    Got to my main site it has all the other blaster stuff too...   Cylinders , scope ect...

    In response to the cost of my products $$$$$   i make highly detailed replica out of quality materials...  mostly cnc machined.   I laser scan real vintage part to preserve authenticity and screen accuracy ..   i high;y suggest checking my site and build blogs like this thread and on the rpf
