The blastech E-11D stock is probably the AABB 416C style stock. It can be found here: http://www.ebairsoft.com/aabb-hk416c-style-stock-416aeg-p-7548.html sorry if this is in the wrong section but I seen mention of the E-11D in the above posts. The stock pad has been turned upside down and is held in place by 2 allen grub screws. It looks to be attached to the back of the S&T Sterling with a specially made adapter to fit on the back of the S&T with threads cut on the other side for the 416C stock. Sorry if this is old news. There are 3 airsoft 416c stocks available (tokyo marui, VFC and AABB). I have all 3 and the AABB looks the closest to the pictures.

thanks for the comments. You can find the E-11D files on this very forum. http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32544-free-tfa-f-11d-3d-printable-files-available-now/ Big thanks to the5thhorseman for the free files!

looking good. I like what you did with the pistol grip.

Pictures taken in daylight

so I'm back from the States and spent some more time with the E-11 I'm building. I finished the magwell and attached it to the side of the e-11 Then I worked on the scope, counter and power cells. and after all that it was time to put the lasts bits on and call it finished. (i still need to do a overall coat of varnish and get some photos when it's not dark and raining). I'll post up some pictures of it in the daylight and then it's time to move on to Poe's pistol and Mace Windu's Lightsaber

I'm using Wilko's own brand satin black spray paint but any satin black will do. Once it's all complete I'll give it a overall coat of either clear lacquer which will make it more of a overall matt finish.

Day 3: worked on the stock. split the parts down and cut and files so that everything fitted. I added a couple of plastic rods to help align everything. I also decided to make the stock in the fixed folded position as it would be too much work to make it functioning. everything that would be seen was epoxyed. and then sanded. After it was primed then painted I fitted it to the barrel assembly. I used 2 airsoft AK47 selector bolts to fix the stock in place. I also had time to work on the pistol grip and trigger. This was a straight forward, sand, epoxy, sand, prime and then paint job. Once it had dried I attached it to the barrel assembly. no more updates for a week as I'm off traveling.

Day 2: It's time to make it look more Star Wars and less Sterling SMG. Here's the parts I've worked on today. The top rail, bayonet lug, front sight protector, rear sight and bit that protects the bolt sprayed black. The tracks after a dose of filler. and after a sand and prime. All the bits fitted to the barrel. This is the barrel complete for now. Just after the picture was taken it was given a quick paint to cover up some of the marks it had picked up as I was working on it. Now I'll be working on the stock. I'm in the process of cleaning the parts up and I'm in 2 minds about making it a working folding stock.

hello and welcome to my 3D printed E-11 Blaster build. After printing and building the excellent models by "the5thhorseman" I thought I'd go back in time, a long long time ago, and make the original blaster from the first movie which was part IV. Actually I'm not quite sure which model of the E-11 blaster this is but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. I don't know who made the original 3D model but this version below is the reworked model by "rayabear" and can be downloaded from www.thingiverse.com So the first thing I did was print it all out. This took a while, not nearly as long as the break between episode V1 and I, but long enough for me to think it would never finish printing. I'm using a Prusa i3 printer which is a bit basic and has a few flaws but it's good enough for me at the moment as I can fix the faults with files, sandpaper, filler, swearing and lots of diet coke. Below is all the parts printed out. It's about now that you realise that it might have taken a while to print but it's going to take even longer to put together unless you don't do any post printing work. I've cheated in this picture as I've actually joined the 3 barrel parts together as I'm a bit impatient at times. I used a wooden peg to join the front two parts together and this was glued inside the barrel in side the barrel shroud. This was to give it a bit of extra strength. The rear part is only glued and if thos proves to be to weak I'll get rid of the working bolt and glue to bolt in place giving extra strength to the rear of the barrel. Obviously there are lots of parts here so the best course of action for me is to split it into groups and work my way through them. For me this will be: Outer barrel folding stock pistol grip magazine top rail and scope counter any bits left over. So on with the barrel. Once the glue had dried, joining the barrel parts together, it ws time to break out the large file. The idea is to smooth out the parts as much as possible and using the big file cuts through the plastic in no time at all. Once the barrel looks a bit better it's time for the sandpaper and smaller file. I'm hard to get rid of all the errors as can be seen below: so it's time to break out the filler and cover the whole thing in P.38 filler (or any car filler really). Once the filler has set it's time for the files and sandpaper again and after a while it started to look like this. When it starts to look like this I break out the can of spray filler primer and give it a good spray. This fills in any small holes, scratches, etc and also highlights any areas that need extra filler. While I was waiting for the filler and primer to dry I worked on some of the other barrel parts and in some case I used a product called XTC 3D to smooth the parts after a quick sand. I'm still not 100% happy with XTC but it's better than some of the normal off the shelf epoxy's I've tried. Some of the smaller parts had filler, paint filler and then more filler applied to get them looking right. So after all that I'm now at the stage where I can start to assemble some of the barrel. This will be a slightly longer project than normal as I'm off to the States next week so that will put a hold on things until I get back. Next stage is to finish the parts to complete the barrel and then move onto the folding stock.
