DarthChridan[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Aloha white guys.... some time ago, I've started with my build of the screen used tunisian E-11 blaster. This was my model/example--->> http://www.originalprop.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/star-wars-chronicles-imperial-military-models-blasters-x300.jpg My goal was, that I build/ make the details as close as possible. Well, it's finished except for the power cylinder. Here's my WIP topic--->> http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=12624 ...and here is the previous result--->> Cheers....

The5thHorseman[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) The more i see them, the more i like the Bapty's Blaster! And yours is incredible The only thing i see as a flaw (i'm not sure!) would be this: On the Original, the curve makes an angle whereas on yours it's all curved. And IMO it's more likely because of the folding stock body which is fitted inside this unfoldable part of the stock: Edit: And why did you add the white lettering on the scope? I mean, you've let the resin pouring spouts on top of the scope, so as i understand it it's implying this isn't a real scope and they surely didn't take the time to paint the lettering in white Edited April 2, 2014 by The5thHorseman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Thx Germain for your input. As far as I know, there wasn't an interlocksystem in the folding stock at the tunisian version. As you know, the company 'Bapty' has modified the sterlings for the tunisian movie sets. This place that you've marked is rather the shadow of the upper side....not the interlocksystem. Trust me, I have long considered and compared if this an interlocksystem About the scope...well, it was a real scope...even the hengstler...it was all of them original parts. So, hence the letters was white. But you look out precisely on it...I like it Edited April 2, 2014 by DarthChridan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Daniel, very nice work, really! You transfered every detail of the original. As being one of the 'dirty guys' this weapon was a MUST HAVE for you . I like the textured paint on the main barrel. This is exactly the result I am looking to get on mine as well. Unfortunately the paint chapter was skipped in your WIP link. Could you let us know, what paint you've used? Have already bought spray paint with 'hammered effect' but not sure, if this is correct...

DarthChridan[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Thank you for your kind words, Tino. You will laughing...I was on the search for the 'perfect' surface too....I've tried everything, also hammer blow paint(from thespray can)...nothing was good for me. Until a good friend of me, Felice, has found a really great technique to realize this awesome surface. It's really simple But I have not forget to add the paint chapter...it's Felice' "invention" and I didn't want to reap the laurels about this technique Use the hammer blow from a normal paint container. At first you paint the whole main body black...after the desiccation you dap with 'Zewa kitchen roll paper' the black hammer blow on the main body over the whole surface. Then you add the brown paint on the still wet surface of the black hammer blow paint. This was the whole secret of this awesome surface. This was my paint--->> Edited April 2, 2014 by DarthChridan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Jay[TK] Posted April 2, 2014 Report Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi Daniel, thanks for letting us know so quickly. And best regards to Felice - he indeed had a nice idea to get this surface done and you have turned it into a real good looking result. Have bought the same colour (except the brown and I just took the spray can version) and instead of the kitchen paper roll I was thinking of dabbing it with some sandpaper or to sprinkle it with fine dust particles. Hm, will see if that works. But it is good to know, how I can make it in case my idea fails . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
