  2. Review: Praetorian E-11

    in ANH BlasTech E11

    Posted

    You'll have the same trouble as importing any other RIF. it's going to be a massive nightmare. You'd need to convince customs to release it, there was a member who classed the UKG as theatre or reenactment group and they got their weapon released. You may not be that lucky.

     

    They posted their letter on the forum if you have a search.

    Figured it would be a pain in the chucks to import. Hadn't considered a rubber blaster seriously before as the details weren't as sharp as resin or pipe builds but this one had me considering it. I think I'll stick with my doopydoo for trooping and build other pretty things for display

    Holy cow, I have got to start one of these.  That looks amazing.  I just need to buy a kit and get started.  Seriously, that is a beauty.

    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 ;)

     

    Outstanding! Rebels be feared! Great attention paid to all the details.

    That is high praise indeed coming from someone as dedicated to blasters as you.

    thank you sir :salute:

     

     

    Looks really great, Brian. Pity you didn't document your build - I've got many of the same after market parts :)

    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). :duim:

    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 – loved the haribo!
    Magazine from Gazmosis – 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 – too short – Not Used
    Ejector Port Guard by CFP214 – 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. grin.gif

    Time for some photos now.

    Thanks for dropping by for a look at my blaster. There are better ones out there but I am quite proud of my first build. Next one will be better I hope ;)

     

    Cheers

    Brian
