Altair's Resin Doopydoos E11 Build

[Sly]

Beautiful.

[Whitey]

Looking awesome buddy. See.... OCD pays off.

[Altair]

Folding stock is now attached, I have filled in the screw heads with green stuff, still need to paint these.
Ejection port and around the trigger got a coat of Metallic Silver, I think I might redo this with Steel paint or give it a wash with black to dull it down.
Also in the pic, a glossy handle



Close up of the t-tracks, these were left Flat black



Mag and Power cylinders now glued on..



Will hopefully be doing some dry brush weathering today

[Altair]

Did some dry-brush weathering with brass paint on the scope and also very carefully with a tiny brush filled in the text with white paint





I went for the "less is more" approach when weathering up the E11, mainly working along edges and any areas where one might scrape a blaster in battle

For this I used "Steel" coloured paint











Now with the scope and counter mounted





Still a few more things to do...
- Add reticule to scope
- Add display to counter
- Add bayonet lug (when it arrives)
- Add bolt piece near cocking handle

[Altair]

Reticule added to scope and counter now has a display

[Sly]

Well done mate, I expect to see this at the troop tomorrow.

[Altair]

Not 100% complete, but can definitely troop with it now!
I will be waving this puppy around tomorrow

[Sly]

I think your counter numbers are around the wrong way, hope you can get the lens out and turn them around.

[Altair]

Yeh I know doh! Was in a hurry to get things done

I only put a drop of glue on one end of the display, so should be easy enough to pry it open..... after tomorrow

[DannytheBlue]

Great job sir really I enjoyed this build!!!

[Altair]

Finally got around to putting the finishing touches on this blaster!

To continue the inner bolt I cut up some PVC pipe and glued several layers together then sanded to the correct shape



Then I cut my shape from the same ABS I used for the inner bolt on the barrel



Primed, painted, weathered and sealed in clear coat



Glued into place



Never received the bayonet lug from Doopys... they said they would send me one but it still hasn't turned up... Anyway I got this lug from a fellow trooper from the FISD. Cast off a real sterling



Oh and I also fixed my counter display so the numbers are the right way up!



Well I think I can put this puppy to bed... time to start on the next project!

[Whitey]

E11 looks great mate. Now its time to build a real blaster, the nice DC17M that was sitting on the bench.
