For larger areas of bleed yes but if you use a white that matches your armor closely you may get away with little to no cleanup 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Short4ATrooper Posted March 27 Report Share Posted March 27 Once the paint has fully dried, you should be able to scrape it away with a toothpick. This won’t scratch your armor and will allow you to work the paint back to your desired line. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cnsf Posted March 31 Author Report Share Posted March 31 Just received Hellhounds E-11 which looks great but got damaged in transit. Daniel from Hellounds said to use CA glue to put the piece back on. Is this the right position to put it back on? Does it need to be vertical compared to the handle? What is the correct pitch in comparison to the barrel? Any guidance on how to do this right without screwing up the blaster? Thanks in advance! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Short4ATrooper Posted March 31 Report Share Posted March 31 That’s the Hengstler counter. I believe it should be mounted to the underside of the scope rail using two L shaped brackets:You can see it runs parallel to the barrel and scope railSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I definitely don't have those L brackets included. Looks like it was glued directly and fell off in transit. I also noticed yours doesn't have the two mini barrels right in front of it. Mine is an ANH e-11. Is it possible that we have different versions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cnsf Posted April 2 Author Report Share Posted April 2 @Short4ATrooper I found these Hellhounds reference pictures. Looks like there isn't a piece between the counter and the scope for the HH version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Your counter should go a little further forward 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CableGuy[Admin] Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Hey Cory,For the best references for the Hengstler and how best to attach it, I’d check out the FISD blaster reference guide. https://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/32111-fisd-e-11-blaster-reference/The bracket is usually just a right angles piece of metal. One angled bracket is enough and can mounted under the front foot of the scope. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Given the Hellhounds is all rubber, do you think I should add in the angle bracket or keep it the way Hellhounds made it by just gluing the bottom of the Hengsteler counter to the barrel section? You can see the glue residue in my photos (and I can line it up using the glue left behind). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CableGuy[Admin] Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Hiya. I’d say that hot glue or similar is much more likely to just come off again, especially troublesome if it’s mid-troop (as you’ll NEVER bend down to pick it up) lol I’d go with a bracket to make it more stable. :-) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I gave it a go with the CA Medium glue Daniel recommended to keep it consistent. If it falls off, I will definitely try and figure out the bracket route. So far, it seems pretty stable. See my photos of the fixed blaster in the thread I started below. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
