    Hi Josh, the thickness of the wire makes a very big difference here. The original spring wire's thickness was 1.8 mm.

    A wire of that thickness can be wrapped around a broomstick for example to get a suitable result.

    With 2.0 mm and more it gets much harder.

     

    When wrapping the wire around the broomstick, protect your hands by wearing gloves. That makes it easier.

     

    Thank you for the tips! I'll look around for one in that size. Any recommendations on where the best place is to purchase one? So far, I've only managed to find some on Ebay. Thanks again.

  2. Hello everyone,

     

    Recently, I've been working on making an E11. However, I've been having a lot of trouble sourcing a wire that is both accurate, and is easily made into a spring. (Unless there is already a spring pre-made). 

     

    I've tried coat-hanger wire, but I've had little success. Does anyone have any ideas where I could buy a budget-friendly wire? Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance.

  3. Hello everyone. I'm currently working on my own build, and I had a quick question. How long is your scope rail? Unfortunately, I have to redo the main body, and so I need a measurement, so I can properly cut the holes, and cut the scope rail properly. I'd preferably like the dimensions from a doopy do's kit, but it shouldn't matter much. Any help is really appreciated. Thank you for the read!

    @Stormystormtrooper Hi Toshi, just came across this great list today again and have an update:

     

    Unfortunately the E-11 resin kits from Phoenix Props (cast in dark grey resin) and the replacement magazines from gazmosis are meanwhile no longer available.  :blush: Sad thing.

    Thank you for the update. That's unfortunate.

    There could be two possible CRL's, animated and movie style, each would follow the screen references so both would be accurate in their own right.

    That seems to be what would happen, they seem a bit too different to be considered to be the same CRL.

    Oh I feel so stupid, I didn't see the post with the link to the pack for sale. Guess theres no need to worry about 3d printing it if crooknight already has! Well if that's the case I can now say that I'll be converting my armor to it for sure!

    Best of luck! I'd be glad to see that. I think I missed the pack link, could you point me to it? Thanks. (Nevermind, found it!) I hope I am allowed to post em.

  6. The differences I have found between Rebels and Battlefront:

     

    The air hoses. In rebels, the hoses are connected to the jetpack. In Battlefront, they are connected to the chestbox, unique only to the battlefront trooper.

    The armor. The helmet in battlefront is from Return of the Jedi. The one from rebels is the animated one, BUT, it has a little greeble on the chin. The lens are also one piece. The frown appears to be much thinner, painted white. 

     

    In rebels, there also appears to be "grunts" jump troopers without the orange shoulder armor. These are not in battlefront.
