Altair's Resin Doopydoos E11 Build

[Altair]

This is yet another build thread for the Doopydoos resin kit but my first go at building an E11. For this build I will be making a few popular modifications so I'm interested in your feedback and suggestions

Instead of starting with the traditional brown box starting pic, I'll just skip straight to the good stuff!

Here's what you get in a doopys full resin kit...



The DD magazine leaves a lot to be desired, so I grabbed a replacement off Gazmosis @ FISD.



To save a bunch of time trying to find all the right pieces for my modifications I grabbed an E11 completion set off T-Jay @ FISD.



Also Oevil1 hooked me up with a nice reticule finishing piece for the scope - Thanks Tim!



OK... so with most things gathered its time to start building!

---

I decided to start modifying the handle first by replacing the free/lock screw with a real screw that can be rotated.



Cut the screw down to size, grind off the resin screw and mark where to drill a hole



Done! Simple and effective!



Next was the screw at the bottom of the handle



Drilled this out and replaced with a hexagon screw



Moving onto the trigger, using a small nail and spring we can make this a functioning trigger





Here is the final result



Squeezing the trigger



Lastly for the handle... make the selector switch rotatable using a nail





More tomorrow....

[Sly]

Good job mate, looking forward to more pictures.

[Oevil1]

Sweeeeet! Love a good blaster build!

[Mynock]

Thank you for sharing those pictures are very helpful.

"If money pics is all that you love, then that's what you'll receive"

Apologies for the bad joke... OK so a bit more progress... a few more pics!

Another popular mod - drilled out the blobs at the end of the barrel and replaced with hexagon screws



Moving down to the other end we have our end cap. Two things regarding the end cap...

Replace the metal ring with a more accurate one



Also my end cap was really loose as the square locks were too thin, so I decided to cut some small squares of ABS plastic and super glue them into the cap. Locks in much better now!





Even though these will be mostly hidden by the folding stock I decided to drill out the holes on the barrel... was just in the moment



Speaking of the folding stock, I cleaned this up a bit



Then I drilled out the holes on the bottom side and cut out an inlay to fit a metal bar







Another chapter tomorrow....

Awesome build man, look forward to the next chapter.

[Altair]

Thanks for the feedback guys and welcome to another update

A bit of work on the magazine receiver, replaced the grub screw






Then had to thin the walls to fit the replacement magazine and cut the magazine down to size




Put a real screw on the counter






On to the scope now, more screws to replace here

Grind off the resin screws and replace with real ones. The larger screws are actually plastic but will be painted later!






What good is a scope without a rail? Whipped up a rail using Billhag's template






Also decided to use a screw to hold in the back end




Test fit - what do you think? Is this rail alright or off the rails? :D






That's enough for now... stay tuned troops

[Sly]

The rail looks perfect john, but the screw you have used in the mag receiver looks too small.
I have a spare you are welcome to it.

[Altair]

What size screw did you use mate? can you post or send me a pic?

[Sly]

They are 5mm.

[SupaTrooper]

Very nice work and great pictorial.

[Scorpion]

Looks great, love the build thread

[Altair]

Cheers everyone.

Andrew, I checked the screw the one I'm using is 5mm

A little more blaster building today....

The doopys inner bolt is positioned too high, so I plan to fix that with a piece of plastic



A bit of grinding and sanding to remove it



Cut the replacement to size. I haven't glued it yet - what do you think of size/positioning?
