allan1313[TK] Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 So this arrived the mail mail today after a boat ride from Germany. I will be doing a Phoenix Props E11, thanks Dday, with a few little extras. So I was able to acquire a real sterling folding stock. I have done a little work on that already. Got most of the excess steel out of there. I also have a new Disney stormtrooper blaster that I will use for electronics. I am looking forward to the build. But I certainly will not be moving as fast as VulpX and.Captain_Wordo. Stay tuned. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulpX[TK] Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Cool, an electronics build! I'll be watching this! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Wordo[TK] Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Derrek sends the parts really always very safely wrapped Good luck with your build! And no reason to rush thru it, take the time that you need and you'll do it best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Machinimax Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I finally saw a video of someone demonstrating the Disney E-11 and I have to say I was very pleased with the accuracy of the sounds! They were the same as those on the SW soundboards. Great economy board for an electronics install! Have fun with the build! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth B@ne Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 WOW great build! I am planning to do a build just like this one. Following for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesnarles Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) Beautiful. I'm convinced Disney had this in mind from the drawing board, it's too perfect! The DVH bolt I have is already hollowed out, so you've quelled my fears about ruining it by trying this. Careful not to snap their crappy wires😉 Edited August 15, 2015 by charlesnarles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah the Disney blaster is so simple it made it very easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dday[501st] Posted August 16, 2015 Report Share Posted August 16, 2015 Thanks. Yeah the Disney blaster is so simple it made it very easy. I love it when people integrate this type of stuff into the blasters. It really eases peoples fears about making these builds and adding in new mods. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant686[TK] Posted September 3, 2015 Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 I am so looking forward to this build, I saw this as a possibility and here you are making it reality and I'm so excited!!

allan1313[TK] Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 Ok, it's been awhile since I last posted. I took a bit of a break because I was apprehensive about doing the trigger. I decided to enlist the help of my father, a retired engineer. Of course I forgot to take some in progress shots, but this is what we came up with. We made a new trigger out of some rosewood since we needed it to be longer to have a pivot point. We then drilled out an area for the trigger movement. Added a screw(which will be cleaned up later) for the pivot point and a spring from a pen. Now to decide where to put the selector switch. Open to some ideas if you have them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlesnarles Posted September 5, 2015 Report Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) If you can make enough space in the handle, you might be able to drop in a 3 position rotary switch. It's a real easy conversion with the dsny guts. I have pics and details in my howto if you need convincing Edited September 5, 2015 by charlesnarles 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have pics and details in my howto if you need convincing I like what you did there, but that switch certainly wouldn't fit without gutting it pretty bad. I like the idea. I am going to look for something a bit smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allan1313[TK] Posted September 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2015 Well it's been awhile since I updated my progress. I have finally gotten some time to work on it. I should have it completed in the not too distant future. Did a little work on the scope. I had some bubbles/pitting on some parts so I tried some green stuff for the first time. Next I hit the pieces with some primer. After that was some flat black. The last update I have is some assembly of parts. My next step is to paint the bolt and do final assembly. I am doing the bolt last as that is where all my electronics are at. Once I am all done I will do a video as well so you guys can see what how it turned out with lights, sounds, and a sterling folding stock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan1313[TK] Posted September 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2015 So I have another update for today. Here are some in progress pictures of the electronics. Here is a picture showing where I placed the selector switch for laser/stun. I had to come up with something for the batteries (3×AAA). I got a cylindrical battery holder so I can place it in the tube and used some very flexible wires so I will be able to pull it out and replace the batteries when needed. This also shows the speaker held in place with an o-ring. After that did some drilling on the scope rail and scope. Throughout the process I hadn't painted the bolt since that's where the electronics were going, so I taped it off to paint that silver. More to come....

allan1313[TK] Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Next up was painting the handle gloss black, started with some primer. I also affixed the folding stock. The real stock adds a lot of weight to the pipe/resin build. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bulldog44[TK] Posted October 1, 2015 Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Looking awesome! I like the new TFA F-11D blasters but just seeing E-11 kits being assembled, like yours, is always exciting. Can't beat that real-world weapon look! Keep up the great work! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
