  1. As Glen mentioned, the Questdesign does need the counter moved (not that difficult) but it is actually a really nice blaster overall.  Coming from Canada the shipping may be a bit high, but I've seen these up close and they are well worth the price.

    The shipping wasn’t actually too bad. The price wasn’t bad either. Especially with some of the prices that are being asked for the rubber ones.

    They gave me updates as to when the blaster would be ready, when it was packaged and then when it was shipped. Very nice people.

    I would trust a rubber blaster better for trooping. A little less weight and you don’t have to worry about dropping and breaking it. I’ve heard that can happen with the little kids pretty often. Lol.

  2. Here are some picture of the Quest Design E11 as promised. I can always add more if anyone would like another angle. In the last two I laid the Fieldmarshal BlasterFactory E11 next to it for size reference.

    I think it’s a very well done resin E11. Probably one of the best I’ve seen but there are some issues. One thing I was disappointed by was the lack of writing on the M38. Something I was very much looking forward to whiting out.

    I also bought an upgrade kit from Tino, that has a lot of metal parts and screws you can add to an resin E11 to make it more realistic. I still have yet to add those pieces.

    And like Joe said, the Hengstler does need to be raised up a bit. But overall, it’s honestly pretty well done. Very clean seams, and overall very clean piece.
    I definitely got my money’s worth. It was a good purchase, in my humble opinion

  3. That would be helpful! I’d really prefer to buy something whole and make mods to it, so I’m leaning towards getting it.

    I agree. That’s why I went with it. And short of actual authentic parts, I can use better quality replicas like the ones from Christopher Fieldmarshal at BlasterFactory.
    I actually have a Fieldmarshal E11 with a real magazine and a real Hengstler. What I’ll probably do is take the M38 replica off that and put it on the Quest when I get a real M38
    The one on the Quest isn’t that great. The writing on the one end is barely legible.

    I’ll do my best to send plenty of pictures later so you can judge for yourself.

    Check out Marc/ Troopercoola. He has the JMC E-11 kit casted from sterling parts. Has all the things you need to assemble a blaster to centurion level. 
    Marc can be contacted on this forum too if you look for troopercoola. Very nice kit.

    I would also recommend Marc’s Blaster kit The Troopercoola JMC. Marc is a fantastic guy and is always willing to help you out if you have any issues. I am looking to purchase one of his myself, in the future.

  5. I found a company called Quest Design - https://www.questdesigncanada.com/products/star-wars-stormtrooper-e-11-blaster-prop-replica-stormtrooper-v3. Has anyone heard of them and if so see they any good?

    I actually ordered from them recently and can show you pictures later when I get home. Overall it’s a very nice resin E11. There are a few little things I’d like to change but that’s what modifications are for. Lol.

    It's a 10 year old thread so I'm not surprised.

     

    I used the following image, I placed in publisher and made the page size 50 1/4" to match the size of the blaster then when printing it overlaps on standard pages, tape together then cut out. Here is a link to my thread: https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21392-t-21-build-im-bored/#comments

  7. Just as something I’ve seen and noticed, specifically on the Move Along, maybe the Leia shots as well, I always thought the front chip socket was two stacked. The one towards the rear was the single stack.
    Probably doesn’t apply for regular stormtroopers, as I’ve not seen many that could be double stacked, besides the ones I listed.
    Wish there were more pictures.

  8. It's quite likely that both 14 and 16 pin sockets were used. I don't think the prop makers cared about which was which at all.

    I think you’re exactly right. Probably used whatever they got their hands on.
    Now if we could only figure out which chips were on which blasters, in which scenes. Too much?? Lol.

  9. I actually thought it was a 14 pin chip socket. Even ordered them from Amazon.

    Now it looks like a 16 pin from the top picture. But the side looks to be 14.

    I know a few Sandtroopers who have installed the 14 pins on their replicas.

    Here was what I looked up on Amazon:

    Here’s the 16 pin to look up on Amazon:

  10. Notice the differences between the bucket that comes with the kit and the one that comes by itself.

    The one with the kit is a little smaller but doesn't have tube stripes or the appropriate hovi tips. 

    That’s really strange, the differences in size and no tube stripes. What’s the difference between the hovi tips? I don’t think the picture is clear enough.
    I was looking at an Anovos shadow kit myself, but I’ve been afraid with all the issues with QC lately. It’ll be cool to see how yours goes.

    I have seen a lot of people getting caught out with the Sithtrooper and Mandalorian helmets over the last 12 months or so, you can find these websites all over with great photos then end up with a floppy rubber helmet, this appears to be the same con

    Hahahahahah. The stamp though. I’m dying here. That’s great.
