  2. Hovi Mic Accuracy update:

     

    From CRL pictures, the hovi mic screen each mesh size approximately 2mm.

    The internal diameter of the hovi mic tip is 16mm. I found marker pen body have 15mm++ outer diameter. Will use it to shape the mesh.

    Found a small sieve that have suitable mesh. Take out from the frame.

    Flatten it out.

     

    Hard to keep the molded mesh shape after trimming to size. Tried using E600 and got this big gunk at the end. Will look into other method.

  3. Hi Ahmad, this start looks very promising :duim: You made your homework.

     

    If you decide to take a Completion Set, you can remove the following items from your list, because they are in the set already:

    - D-Ring

    - super glue

    - putty (green stuff)

    - Aluminum flat bar

    - and the hex-screws for the muzzle and grip

    Just send a PM if you are interested...

     

    Checking your tools-list, I noticed you are planning to paint the grip in satin black and the gun body in gloss black. May I suggest to read chapter #28 (painting) and possibly swap this? :)

    The T-tracks on the original guns in the movie were made of black plastic. Not sure how these will look like in gunmetal grey but that color would definitely be a good choice for the inner bolt and the ejection port area.

     

    Please don't get me wrong, I don't want to tell you how to build your blaster. Just wanted to mention a few things.

    Whatever you do, if you work at the same level as your first posting above, this will become a very good E-11 :D

    Thank you Tino for the suggestion. Your kit is one of the recommended upgrade in FISD.

     

    Regarding the painting, appriciate the link. Will read it all up.

  4. I am starting my build to have my own E-11. No stormtrooper is complete without their E-11 blaster. Due to restriction in importing weapon look alike item into my country, i went with a Doopydoos E-11 resin full kit. Less risk for it to be confiscated by customs etc. Doing a build thread so I can compile my research and findings while waiting for the kit to arrive.
