Evilboy[501st] Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 (edited) Thank you! I just used the a realy small bit that comes in the dremel kit, like this: and I used the Dremel on a low to medium setting, and was just REALLY careful...as for a torch, go buy a cheap kitchen torch. that is what I used...like this one, $10 at the store (about 6.30 UK Pounds): Edited May 20, 2012 by Evilboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsky Posted May 27, 2012 Report Share Posted May 27, 2012 If anyone in the UK is interested, you can get galvanised wire from Asda for £1 to make a spring with. I also got a hanging basket bracket from a pound shop and I'm going to cut it to use the bar fror my scope rail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solcar23[TK] Posted August 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Well since I'm all finished with my armor I needed to finally correct my Hengstler hight and add my wires so here it is! First, I found out that I had set my counter too high and it needed to sit just above the shoulder bracket arm: Then I carefully drilled out the connectors on the Hengstler by hand and was able to insert some black coated wire from Home Depot. I coiled it around a pencil and then inserted them behind the range finder cylinders. I kind of like the messiness of the wires, kinda gives it more of a jumbled greeblie effect! I may upgrade it eventually : And that's it! Finished E-11! Yay!!! Edited August 12, 2012 by Solcar23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swmand4 Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Very nice job! I hope mine turns out half as good as yours... What color paint did you use for the bolt door? It looks like some kind of silver. Is that the same for the silver screws? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 It was a Citadel acrylic called Mithril Silver for miniatures. I washed it using Citadel Bedab Black wash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Potty Meister Posted August 20, 2012 Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Is something like this the clear coat you used? I also got some hammered paint, but I don't want a glossy look. http://www.rustoleum.com/CBGProduct.asp?pid=164 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 Ya gotta hit it with a coat or two of clear flat paint to make it matte. If you look in the pics right after I painted it, it was really glossy, I then airbrushed two coats of clear flat and it toned it down perfectly. I did tape the handle so that part would stay glossy like a real one. Also gave a bit of contrast to the paint job. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solcar23[TK] Posted August 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2012 I'm sorry I read your post too fast! Yes, that might work if it's a flat matte clear. I used Model Master clear flat enamel from the hobby shop in my airbrush, but I'm sure a spray can flat like that would work just as well.

TK bondservnt[501st] Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 my only pet peeve here: the hengstler, sight rail, T Tracks and grips should not have 'hammered' texture. it's like Iron man all over again... hammer weapons engineering... when I look at the counter box with texture, it just makes me grit my teeth! the T Tracks, sight rail and counter should be masked off with tape when painting the hammered texture. in the end, this texture, and the matte clear make the whole texture so washed out, it's like putting pudding all over the blaster. looks too much like chocolate cake. sorry to say! the holster sure likes having a nice blaster in it. my 2 credits!~ it is a nice job, but this texture treatment does not seem like a paintjob I'd produce. I put the bumpy texture on my blasters by using putty, and I can control the texture and it's amount by simply using that and flat black paint. a little gloss, and a little matte clear and it's much more of a striking texture than the smooth waves I see in this paint.

Dougal[501st] Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 As a miniature hobbyist I am glad to know I will be able to incorporate all my hobby tools and citadel paints, washes and finishes for my Doopydoos kit. Awesome build!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
