So here´s the final version glued and screwed altogether except for the flashlight. I´ve decided to go with a real M300, not the plastic thing that came with the kit. Also ordered an aluminum 5 slot weaver rail to mount the flashlight onto the barrel and a decal kit from ChaosTrooper on Etsy. Now everything depends on the weather when I can paint both weapons and still need an airbrush pistol for the colorful barrel theme!

Made some progress on my E-11D kit the last days. Did a bit of customizing, in fact I added some round aluminum to the main barrel for better handling and weight purposes and attached knurled screws to the shoulder support mount. This will help me to lock the shoulder support in extended or retracted position. Also glued all major assemblies together and sanded the whole surfaces (not my favorite work?).

Started today with the SE-14R kit. Wasn´t that difficult to put it together. Glueing, sanding and a bit of aligning the scope, thats it. Ready for primer and paint!?

Finally decided to go with Maz3DShop from Poland as for the weapons. This week I received my E-11D and SE-14R DIY kits from them. Pretty fast FREE shipping and an affordable price for both as a set made my decision right. The kits themselve are very detailed and the coolest thing is that the scope which came with the SE-14R is real. Nice detail in my opinion. So, building weapons is going to be my pastime the next weeks during waiting for the hard parts?

Thanks @IcyTrooper! And it keeps going. Today the gloves arrived from Endor Finders! Didn´t expect them so fast☺️ They fit perfect and are very smooth on the inside. I definitely recommend them!

So, this is what I have so far on small stuff. Rubber belt material is 8,3 cm wide and has 29 ribs, pretty close to the CRL. Bought from a rubber factory called Vivol in Germany. Belt buckle and forearm rockets are made from aluminum. Looks much better in my opinion than wheatered plastic stuff. Got these from a German Garrison buddy. Finally small leather belt pouch and SE-14r holster from A&J Projects in Poland. They also make the Specialist stuff for the Death Trooper.

I received the boots already. Got them on Ebay, new and unworn. These are the Doc Martens Talib. The shoe panels are made by Darksite Closet and will come with the undersuit and pouches.
