Hi all,
Here is a little tutorial I have written last year. Maybe it can help.
What to have :
- Hasbro E-11 blaster
- Resin kit for modifying the toy (see Doopydoos)
- Blaster bought on e-bay
Step 1 : Do the resin pieces fit the blaster?
- Sand and cut the pieces to perfectly fit the toy
Step 2 : Works on the blaster
- Cut the nose of the blaster.
- Pierce the targeting.
- Cut out the area below the gun sight :
- Sand the text out
- Put epoxy into the holes
- Test fit the pieces :
Step 3 : stick the pieces together
Step 4 : painting
Protect the inner part of the cannon tube.
- Put under-coatings
- Spray silver metal paint
- Spray black mat paint
Step 5 : battle damages and black energy thread
Step 6 : Gun sight's Modification
- Get a glass' lense and work it with your Dremel in order to have the good size for the gun sight
- Cut the entrance of the gun sight :
- Build a round cercle using a transparent red plastic and stick a silver metallic paper behind (like silver lenses used on TX buckets).
- Stick that onto a hard transparent plastic round + silver round + red one.
- Stick it to a medecine tube's cap
- Draw a target on the red round.
- Insert the cap inside the gun sight's tube.
- Stick the lense at the entrance of the tube and put a black joint.
Finished!
