Thanks buddy!

Doh! Great pro tip! Thanks man.

I'll pm you.

You're right. I've never seen those blasters mounted on their thighs, but we thought it was fun to take some photos to demonstrate its (probably) intended purpose.

Since my last post, I've been adding genuine parts to my E-11 and I thought I share the progress here. Scored a M38 scope in Australia! Magazine catch, ejector and ejector retaining screw Magazine catch screw Back cap Bolt and cocking handle Barrel retaining screws Trigger guard Grip Trigger group retaining pin I have the front sight assembly too but I haven't installed it.

Thanks Phil.

Hi Dan! I've been well thank you. I hope you've been well too. I fixed the images! Hope they are useful for new builders out there. As an added bonus, here's how it looks like attached to the thigh armor;

Thanks Joe. Is this what you mean?

I have only this to say to you: wow.

I just got caught up on your build and every post is riveting! This is one of the most outstanding builds I've seen here. Congratulations on your brilliant build and I look forward to seeing a full demo video soon.

Looks like a ver 2.0 build with full metal parts is inevitable.

Congratulations Dan! You wear the armor well.

This is going to be interesting... Carry on trooper!

I am very flattered Dan. Thank you. Dennis' replica counters are highly recommended. I got a real one from him soon after I completed my build and it is very hard to tell the replica apart from the real one.

The amount of mods you're applying is insane and the results are absolutely fantastic. In all honesty, I respect builds like yours. Mine is simply like a model kit that I assembled and painted. But your build requires so much more craftsmanship. Awesome work brother.

I am in awe of your electronics work. Looking forward to the completion of your build.

Fantastic work Dan! Your attention to details paid off and I'm glad you didn't overdo the weathering. You should be proud.

This build is still alive!!! I acquired a genuine Hengstler Counter 400 from Dennis aka @TK-50101 Blue Snaggletooth and it is absolutely gorgeous! So much so I contemplated for a really long time before deciding to paint it. I used toothpaste to create the chipped paint effect and scuffed it up with steelwool. Again I left the cadmium coating intact since I really like that feature. Set the counter to my 501st Legion number.

Agree. His attention to details and craftsmanship are admirable.

Here's a photo of that piece if it helps.

Here's a photo of an actual Sterling SMG, so it looks like Ducati and T-jay got it spot on. *Update: mine is definitely wrong so I'm going to correct it. Kudos to you for highlighting this bit of detail Jesse.

Thanks brother. I'm figuring things out as I go along and I'm grateful for all the guidance I have received.

Thanks Brian! Indeed I reviewed my cost breakdown for this build last night and almost popped a vessel. Not for the faint hearted for sure. Thank you!

Thanks for the vote of confidence brother.

So I was looking through some reference photos of back caps, I found another boo-boo: there are holes in the receiver ring that I overlooked.
