Awesome!

Very cool - I like that - how many points of articulation does it say on the box?

Hey there Eric, With what I'm going for to be ... good level of screen accuracy, battle worn and as realistic as possible - I take in your suggestion whole heartedly good man! My thoughts hadn't gone in that direction for the catch assembly, especially so since I know nothing really (apart from what I've been able to glean off of studying the SMG components of the blaster on the net) on things rifles. Also, with doopydoos resin pieces as my base / starting point, your suggestion would definitely prove too ambitious for me Finish? Workbench is dusted off ... work is pending on the trigger housing and update to happen shortly - have a great day everyone and happy building!

awesome awesome!

persevering for the empire - absolutely worthy to dawn the attire!

That Vader shot with the TKs - film worthy! I like the mando shot as well - Ya'll always having fun!

Yikes! My jaw dropped when I saw your plastic magazine with a hole in it! Good planning and careful execution. I've never seen anyone modify swpropman's Tunisian style magazine before. It's looking good!!! Great Ardyjo! How rewarding to have the electronics working after installation - you'll have the remaining parts of the blaster done in no time

Very admirable, love it!!! Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

Marvelous! You're living the dream Dan! Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

Green stuff goes on like putty and dries hard and retains a quality much like resin. Do a search online. I put on a thin layer of green stuff all over but it certainly wasn't necessary. As for keeping your swpropman magazine in place; I would suggest magnets for it to stay in place with your hollowed magazine housing. It was already so challenging to get the catch working how I did but to get it to lock the magazine in place may very well be a challenge to big to achieve, but prove me wrong, by all means [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G390W using Tapatalk

Amazing! Thanks for sharing

Keeping the spirit of Star Wars alive gentlemen; great work!

My first thoughts - so SO cool!

Hi Freddy, I think Bob must be referring to this part of the magazine (Correct me if I'm wrong Bob): ps, keep up the good work; looking fabulous!

Yup! I did a blunder on my BlastFX being a novice at electronics and too giddy when it arrived. My heart also fell to the floor. I blew broken my speakers and did what you did; sent it back and asked for a replacement / rewiring. Paid Paul also for installing my 3.7V Li-Po battery too. Sorry to hear you had some battery issues....everything good now? It's been a few weeks...

Awesome to read up on your first troop! Congratulations Dan!

Absolutely marvel worthy, your attention to detail has brought forth a wonderfully unique creation! Be proud to hold your blaster amongst the rest!

Nice conversion work, looks pretty awesome!

Good to know, thanks!

Really like your finishing touches on your magazine; really added that little extra for big impact - mighty fine blaster Dan, well done [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s all good Dan! This just shows your in line with my build goal, to have my E-11’s SMG components as real as possible [emoji6] Keeping my LED button installed, I proceeded to file away the edges. The button doesn’t sit recessed relative to the cap nor is it attached to the bottom mechanism, as it is for real, so based on how I have it, that’s about it. To answer your question before Dan, yes, I did create a 1mm thick aluminum magazine cap before but was perplexed in how to add text to it, so opted how you see it now, with my cap composed of aluminum / styrene / green stuff combo - I guess I could have turfed the middle styrene layer, in hindsight so to achieve a thickness more closely to 1mm Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Wow, you can do so much with the helmet! Nice work, I’m inspired [emoji2] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Magazine cap update! Sanding away green stuff on cap and sanded away LED button also Couldn’t get the dome of the button just right, oh well Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hey there Dan! Worked into the midnight hours with this mod, that is true. Yeah, I laid down the green stuff ‘skin’ pretty thick on the cap, thinking I needed to to get the ‘OFF->’ imprint good. Didn’t follow through with much sanding for fear of loosing the imprint so I left it mostly as is, yes, a thickness more than 1mm. Considering my mark 1 for the cap was 2mm thick aluminum before, I thought close enough. Actually, as I’m thinking about it now, the cap could stand to be sanded down more keeping watch to retain the text. Cool, will update soon! [emoji106] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
