  2. You're doing great here and you're following some great threads. I followed the same people's work and made it all the way to centurion. You can do it too. Looking forward to seeing this all come together for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. I don't think anyone would even notice if the lenses are not perfect as they will be too busy just admiring your scopes [emoji106][emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. The more work that goes into this project, the more money I feel myself HAVING to spend.

  9. Brian McDavid 18910 EIB A4 Andrew Thanks in advance sir You are very welcome! http://www.whitearmor.net/eib/certificates/18910-eib.png
  10. Thanks Shane. This was my first venture into prop building while waiting on the courage to get stuck into my armour. I took my time and this was the end result. Doopydoo are brutal for non-communication but the kit is good if you are prepared to work at it. It would appear that parts of some of their molds are starting to give up with details being lost. That is the reason I started replacing parts. I have spent lots more money on more blaster parts for my next two builds. Kinda habit forming That is high praise indeed coming from someone as dedicated to blasters as you. thank you sir I now really regret not doing a build thread Rudi. It would have shown me where not to go wrong again If I can do this first time (second for a few of the parts) I'm sure yours will turn out fantastic. Start a thread and I'll watch eagerly the development of your blaster (and throw in any advice I can, limited though it will be).
  11. Loving the look of this for a rubber blaster. Very difficult to get a hyperfirm in the UK I'm led to believe but this would be worth trying for Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. Thanks Mark. All seemed to come together very quickly. Centurion appeared in a blur but I feel honoured to be amongst the legions finest. Got confirmation from Sheranakin about my induction [emoji106][emoji106][emoji106][emoji106] Can't wait to wear the armour in earnest. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Thank you Sir. Onwards and upwards for the glory of the legion and the empire. Thank you for your kind comments on my kit. It's now my duty to live up to the motto of Troopers Helping Troopers and help others in their journey into the ranks of the legion Brian Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  14. Sweet idea. Got a roll of white Velcro in my armour bin. I'll make a point of doing that thanks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  15. Hi All Yes this is another E-11 blaster build, or rather E-11 blaster built! Got my Doopy kit in January last year and sat on it for a while before doing anything with it as I read so many brilliant build threads. This is what made me decide not to do a WIP for my blaster as with this being my first foray into building anything like this I was very reluctant to open my progress to the public (wish I had done a thread just to document what I went through). I'm not going to list all the builds I read constantly as there were so many brilliant people doing amazing things with this simple resin kit, but I feel I need to mention a couple at least. Christopher Pearson (themaninthesuitcase) came into my build in a big way due to his 3D printed parts I used and Tino (T-Jay) for his scary brilliant building skills. Also printed out the FISD E-11 Blaster Reference. Took loads of tips and tricks from this and put my own spin on some of these (hopefully they worked out). Moving away from the standard kit I upgraded several parts and detailing. Got lots of new parts of which many were not used for various reasons Completion kit from Tino ā€“ loved the haribo! Magazine from Gazmosis ā€“ got 2 as one initially was lost in space but turned up the week after second one arrived. 3D printed parts from Shapeways Designs by: Christopher Pearson (themaninthesuitcase) E-11 Power Cylinders E-11 Stock Cube (not the edible kind) E-11 End Clip E-11 Front Sight with pin Mag Power Cylinders by cboath - Not used - I preferred Chris' parts E-11 Nozzle by gucabe - much more detailed than the Doopy cast nozzle Front Sight Nopip by CFP214 Scope Mod by CFP214 ā€“ too short ā€“ Not Used Ejector Port Guard by CFP214 ā€“ Not Used - ended up sanding and filing the doopy parts. 3D printed scope, lenses and retainer rings by toolguy301 - Not Used. Cool but not detailed enough. Lenses were frosted. Intended to use this after I messed up when I drilled out the original Doopy scope and glued monocular lenses into it with superglue which fogged the lenses and ruined the effect. New Scope from Doopydoos which I drilled out and fitted the lenses from a Coolcase Compact Monocular from Amazon. (Larger lens than the one from Tino and looked more like my genuine scope). Worked hard to get the blaster to this point, filling and sanding and painting. Primer, Hammered finish (not on the t-tracks, grip or scope) then satin finish black. Gloss black on the grip with aluminium on the trigger mechanism. Ejector port had to be repainted as it was not right, got gunmetal spraypaint to re-do it. Not doing weathering on the blaster at the moment, as I am brand new to this so is my blaster Made the inner bolt and charging handle then made up a spring with the wire that was in the completion kit from Tino. Next was to finish up the scope with detailing screws in the front and to highlight the writing. Hengstler detail is a sticker from trooperbay or ebay, I can't remember which. This leaves me with my finished blaster which I am quite pleased with. Time for some photos now.

There are better ones out there but I am quite proud of my first build. Next one will be better I hope Cheers Brian
  16. Thanks for the kind comments Shane. Blaster took only slightly less time to put together than the armour Well worth the effort to go all the way
  17. Thanks Joseph. I guess I'm in the group of people with just the right size and shape to make fitting the armour just that bit easier. Sniper knee took a lot of looking at other people's photos then just getting lucky with the position first time. Blaster was a labour of love as it was my first build. I didn't do a build thread for it on here as I did not know how it was going to turn out. Had to put the blaster in for approval on the UK Garrison site but it is a cut down explanation of the build. Going to copy it over to the Weapons Locker later today just so I can detail the extra parts etc. that I used, and yes one of Tino's completion kits was in there (V2 i think, he has more parts in the latest kit that I'm interested in for my upcoming pipe build)
  18. Thanks Steve. EIB 724 serving with unquestioned loyalty. Onward to centurion. Application in now
  19. Thanks Robert. The hard work paid off. Got my EIB #724 and got Centurion application in. Fingers crossed for that Thanks Brad. Only took 40 years to become a Stormtrooper
  20. Thanks Chris. Your build on the UKG was one of the first ones I read after getting onto the forums. I followed your progress keenly as I was going down the same route all be it a lot slower. Still not good with forum life but getting there Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  22. Sorry to hijack your thread Andreas, but do you do a comprehensive range of parts Mark? Some are harder to come by than others and it would be great to have someone in the UK doing parts
  23. Thanks Mark. Got my trooping boots on Application will be in today. Eyes firmly fixed on the finishing line
  24. Thanks Andrew I'll get suited up today and make the alterations to the position of the shoulder bells and get a couple of new photos taken. You can expect to find my Centurion application lying on your desk in the morning This build turned out so well because of all the fantastic builds that have gone before. Tony's build was invaluable, I've got it printed out in a folder so it could be turned to at any time. The man deserves a medal Cheers Brian
