It does come with the trigger guard. Just no scope, counter or power cylinders

Thanks guys, Im just not wired that way. It isn't mine. This is the full pipe detail kit that doesn't come with the scope, counter or power cylinders. No t track either and you supply your own pipe. It is a great kit and I'm happy with the one I received. The set hasn't arrived yet and still waiting on doopy doos for further instruction.I will keep this updated as I receive the info.

I'm more of a collector than anything. I think I'm too tall to be a stormtrooper seeing how these armor builds are averaging less than 6 feet. I'm 6'3" and on the bigger side. Lol. Maybe vader if I ever did go out. I am building a full size r2 that I plan on taking to kids hospitals but not at shows. I guess you can grade me more as an avid fan that likes detailed replicas and I'm also a hobbyist so that's kind of a bad combination and bad for the wallet. So basically, I'm a sucker for detail and I love building.

Also remember, I am making two of these. The kit will be used for with the pvc pipe and so far, besides Aarons resin muzzle kit, the all aluminum build. Ambitious I know, but ones is my sons and the other is for me. Otherwise I would have to share lol.

Thank you. I am currently working on my aluminum folding stock. The main deterrent at first was the fact that I dont own a lathe or folding table to make precise bends needed for the main part of the stock. However, during my search for the aluminum sheets, I did find aluminum square stock that luckily is the correct size. I am cutting one side off and using my bench grinder and files to get the rounded edges. I also found a hollow aluminum tube that is the correct dimmension as well. So because I did find these parts, I am going forward on building my own folding stock. At this point, Im unsure if it will be static or functional, but atleast it will be detailed and look cool. I will post progress pictures soon. here is a picture of the square stock I bought from home depot.

Well now I did it! I went ahead and ordered the grip for my soon to be scratch built trigger handle assmebly. I did it now because I figure I can make sure everything lines up and fits the grip. Nothing worse than making a part and finding a purchased piece won't fit the part I just made. I also went ahead and bought the matching screws and muzzle bolts. I'm kinda cheap and didn't want to pay more for shipping than the item I'm buying. The screws from Apex cost 2 dollars each but shipping was around 7. So I figured just buy everything all at once. So now I will have authentic sterling parts, even if it's only the grip. I hear apex ships really fast.

Thank you.

Ok, I bought my doopy kit well over a month ago and it didn't arrive after 6 weeks. I emailed them and as we all know, they aren't the best at replying. I emailed them again and still no reply. Finally I decided to have paypal get involved and they replied the next day. After a week, they sent me a replacement kit. But here is the goofy part. My original kit arrived. I contacted them and told them I got my kit and could they CANCLE the shipment. It already left and it's on its way here now. I did however tell them that seeing how it will be here in the states, I could ship it to a buyer local, if they had an order that hasn't shipped. They were happy I told them the truth and they are even happier that I'm willing to send it to a local buyer. If anyone has just purchased a pipe detail kit or would like to buy one, please contact me. You will need to buy through doopydoos and message them not to ship. Then you need to contact me with the transaction number so I can make sure they don't ship. I will then send it to you with a mailing address they email me. Don't buy anything just yet. The package hasn't arrived. You should save a couple weeks as far as waiting time goes. Also make sure you contact me before buying a kit because someone else may have already jumped in. I will re post once the kit is in hand. Right now I'm just gauging interest. They don't want to pay shipping twice if they can help it. Kind of a shame. If they just answered the emails, maybe this wouldn't have happened. After all, I did wait a month before I contacted them.<br> .

My doppy kit finally arrived. I started digging out the excess resin on the folding stock. I was toying with the idea of just cleaning out the details without completly hollowing out the stock. This is going to be my 10 year old sons so Im trying to keep it strong. But the more I play around with it, I believe it could be even stronger with the tube inside so thats most likley what I will do. Also waiting on my aluminum to arrive for my E11. Any thoughts?

They don't have the best communication however they do deliver. I have seen all his kits sell out, but they seem to restock pretty fast. The only kit I haven't seen restocked is the full kit

Doopy will have these back

Looks great. You should be proud. Nice fix on the handle..can't even notice

Hello all, I have all the specs I need however I am missing the rear sight specs. I did see the specs on a set that were later called inaccurate and all of the specs were updated and made accurate but I didn't see updated specs for that part. I have a detailed pipe template with the correct specs that everything has lined up perfectly with but when I tried the rear sight specs, they weren't even close. I am using a 38mm pipe so I'm guessing that's part of it. Can anyone guide me to the proper specs or share the measurements. Thanks in advance. Kevin

This is a great resource for the scratch builder. Thanks for all the efforts put into this. I have already put it to use and just waiting on some 2mm aluminum to arrive to keep going. I have found all the info I can use with the exception of a template for the rear site. Now I did see it included in the very first set of templates however that set was referred to as inaccurate so you guys made the accurate set. Am I just missing it or does it not exist or is the rear site in the first set of templates accurate? Thanks in advance. Kevin

Found a 2mm 18x24 inch piece on ebay for 14.oo free ship. So now I must wait. Oh well, maybe I should use the time to work on my r2d2 full size build.

Now its starting to look like something. I attached my parts on and placed the muzzle in. I really like the look of the aluminum. now I need to find a 2mm sheet of aluminum for the rest.

I am not the best at documenting my progress in full detail. I just get caught up in the building and try to remember to take photos. Anyway, like mentioned I am building a 38mm aluminum pipe build as well as the pvc one for my son. I also mentioned I would like to use as much aluminum parts as well. I started by making the smaller pieces as we all know, smaller parts are harder to make because there is not much to work with. here are the flash guards and the sight protector. here are some WIP pipe photos. I like to leave the templates glued in place to keep reference points, so please excuse the ugly paper shreds here is a shot with Aarons muzzle kit installed. Its been well over a month since ordering my doopy kit, and they finally agreed mine is lost and they are sending a new one, so I guess it will take another month till I see it. Till then, I plan to keep going on making my aluminum parts and see where I end up What do you think?

So I am all proud of myself building my sight protector out of aluminum. Even filed down an area to have the green stuff meet so it wouldn't be raised but the green stuff turned into the green mess. I mixed it together then applied, and rolled my knurled finish tool over it, but some pulled off, and then started just looking like dooky. Any tips.

most definitely! I may give an aluminum build a go, meaning I would like to have my folding stock, trigger handle assembly and mag holder in aluminum as well. I have a decent set up in my garage as far as tools go. Just don't want the finished look to suffer so if they don't look right, they won't be a part of my finished product.

It's on my builder log. Please feel free to give some pointers

I used your build as a reference for making my scope. My lense is blue instead of red. Thanks for the tip on heating up the scope and crayon. It made life so much easier.

Nice work. I too am still waiting on doopy clause. Its been over a month now. I will take your advise on the dremel cutting wheel. I'm cheating though. I do have a drill press with a vise. Keep up the great work, looks like we are making the same build. You may want to check out Aarons muzzle kit. It's an exact cast from the sterling and fits our pipes beautifully.

during my rush to repair my missing photos,I forgot a couple. I also forget to take a picture of my scope sprayed in brass but I do have a before weathering photo. sorry its a little blurry. The crayon worked out nice.

yeah, they worked but then I edited something and they stopped. boo boo.

Thanks everone. They really were easy to make and from what I have seen, they are pretty close to being accurate. Not too bad for 6.00 dollars.
