I've seen some members from the German Garrison who bought Blasters from Sheartech and Imperial Warfighters though.
That’ll be down to individual vendors and buyers, as to whether or not they accept the risk

I've never heard of any problems with shipping Blasters through Europe.
Check the royal mail website for restricted or prohibited items and obviously your own government’s website. I’m in the UK.

Can you send me a pm?
Probably no point, i’ve had a look at Germany’s restricted import list and a built E-11 would be seized. Your best bet is to buy as a kit outside Germany or source a built one within Germany.
-
As mentioned above, Sheartech makes great E-11 blasters. Check them out on Facebook.
Alternatively, I have an E-11 for sale

Looks pretty good
(Also in Dunfermline!)

They’re not random - they are using a noise gate of sorts so only kick in when it senses that you’ve stopped taking.
If that was in response to my comment, I meant more like ‘randomly triggered’, i.e. from background noise, etc

Just a basic Aker for me. I find randomly triggered static bursts annoying. I don’t think the public really notice the bursts anyway.
If you notice in the films, ‘troopers have barely a click sound at the beginning or end of speech. You can emulate that very easily with practice.
And it’s about £20

I currently troop with a Sheartech rubber ANH E-11 - It’s durable enough that I don’t feel that I need to be careful with it.
Having said that, i’ve built a few Doopy kits and they’re accurate and cheap as chips in comparison to most ready made blasters. You just need to be a bit more gentle with them, because if you drop them, they will most probably break.
For trooping, though, you can’t beat a rubber or foam blaster IMO

You’ll need two red stripes on the tubes, too
And I suspect the bicep lines are a touch too long but you’d need to post up side-on pics.

No cover strips on ROTJ.

Imperial Boots are great - lovely soft leather, nice and close at the ankles too But yeh, go slightly bigger.

In fact, i’m selling a very nice E-11 (not Doopys), if you’re interested, seeing as you’re in the UK.

Doesn’t he also need the scope rail? That’s the only piece that doesn’t come with the kit.
Oh yep, you’re quite right. A strip of aluminium from a DIY store
And screws to attach.
Oh, and a bracket to attach the Hengstler

Welcome, Lee... there have been two or three folks cleared with TKUK kits in the UKG. Scan the armoury for those WIPs for the best idea of work required to clear
-
The complete resin kit does, yes. As long as everything is in the right place and the right way round

Check “Sheartech” on FB - Excellent solid rubber blasters that you won’t mind the odd knock.
I’ve made a few Doopys kits and you certainly don’t want to give them to randoms to hold.
-
Neatsfoot oil will soak-in and soften the leather, assuming it is veg tan leather. Once applied, you can bend and work the leather to allow the oil to work its way into the fibres.
If you soak the holster in water, it will inevitably dry-out the leather even more, as some of the natural tanning oils will be washed out, so if you go the moulding route, i’d advise that you also condition the leather after.

I don’t believe these are approvable in the UKG but I’d need to double check to be sure.
Nope, they’re smaller than a standard E-11 based on a Sterling. Too many bits and pieces wrong or missing altogether.
There are much more accurate E-11 kits or even fully assembled for not a huge amount more.

That doesn't seem right. Mine was only put in there for the sake of having something there temporarily. They said it would be replaced soon... back in August 2016 lol.
I know lol... maybe they just got bored of the stripey red guy

I think my old Shock Trooper kit is still the CRL model. Can we replace that with someone else's? Maybe@humperdingle? My armor was never even approved as a costume and his kit looks a lot better than mine did.

Sorry, talking rubbish

We need your kit to be the CRL model. Mine is up last I checked and it was never even approved as a costume.

It was supposed to be... I did send the pics to FISD folks to be Photoshopped but never happened in the end.

I should probably put a couple of photos here of my (long gone) BF Shock trooper, due to the great Photobucket purge...
