I have started building my e11 blaster and would like to give credit where its due. Some very talented , ingenius and very dedicated people mostly from this site have provided a invaluble resourse to recreate the props from our favorite
Empire.
I started building and planing this build years ago when a aquired through one of my vendors a quantity of sterlings. From there i realized aquireing the coveted HENGSTLER counter and m38 scope is a major challenge..
Fortunately i already had a scope in my ww2 collection along with several other sherman tank periscopes..... The counter took some digging. I finally found 20 or so in a old textile mill that was being converted, the """ junk "" was actioned off... LOL . This gave me the idea to reproduce these items
1. create e11 from original parts
2. reproduce e11 reproduction
3. m38 scope repro
4. hengstler counter repro from oringinal
5. create the power cylinders (cant find that to copy, relying on research and photos from this site and the movie)
