Convert a Hasbro toy to E-11 blaster

[Romeo Knight[501st]]

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!

Good Job! Those Hasbros look a lot better after the mods.

Good info.. but does anyone have any info on the Hyperdyne electronics upgrade, which I have, but never took photos. It is a really nice visual and audio upgrade... if you have the cash.

Last time I looked, they where out of stock. And yes, they look awesome, but are expensive.

 

I did the resin update to my hasbro, and it looks much better, I specially like the idea for the scope, I will do that to mine, I figured, since I have not $$$$ to buy me a prop, this is the next best thing I guess.

 

Nice job and thanks for the tips.
