New Blaster Day (ish) - ShearTech Rubber ANH E-11

[themaninthesuitcase[Admin]]

I say ish as this arrived in July, but 2025 I guess....

 

This is a ShearTech Rubber ANH E-11. I borrowed one of Marks at the start of the year having carried my Doopy for 9 years at that point. The lack of "oh no what if I drop it" was such a weight off my shoulder so once I got round to it a couple of months later I ordered one and it arrived in July. Where it mostly sat in a box until now.

One thing I did change was the weathering. It came pre-weathered but not to my personal taste which is less is more. Most of the pre weathering was removed with IPA or acetone for stubborn areas and then I used Warhammer paints and a cheap Ali Express drybrush to repaint the slide and apply subtle weathering. The slide also got a coat of nuln oil and was then also drybrushed.

 

I'll post some photos here. This isn't a Hyperfirm ultra idealised and perfected casting. It's a real world casting of a real Sterling, warts and all.

 

 

 

I've also got a couple next to my Doopy Doo I built way back in 2016. ShearTech at the front, Doopy at the back.
