E-11 Build

[Fivezero[TX]]

Well the magazine has successfully been modified. Now just to add some t-tracks and paint!

And minus the final paint job, this thing is done!!!

 

 

Now to get some new Nova Medic pics taken...

Nice work!

[Darth Emphatic[CMD-DWM]]

You got some skills. Can I come apprentice?

[Fivezero[TX]]

Thanks for the comments guys!

 

Got some paint on it this morning.

The bolt can be cocked back, but I still have some things I want to add later....

 

 

T-tracks!

 

 

And the magazine can still be removed (took me a bit to figure out the mag release).

 

 

The rear cap somehow turned really glossy when I painted it.. So that'll be repainted later. That and I still have to figure out a retainer ring for the rear cap (after that I can put the springs on the bolt and have better functionality).

 

All in all, I'm very pleased with it. :D

 

Oh and I just weighed it too. 11 pounds (that's more than my M1 Garand rifle from WWII ).

Where'd you get your resin bits? They look like they're from the same guy I got my E-11 from. He makes all his molds off a rebuilt Sterling just like yours.

[Fivezero[TX]]

The only resin bit is the counter (until I find a counter at a decent price) and it came from Doopydoos. Everything else is a real part.

Here's mine

 

 

 

It's mostly resin and pvc. I built it myself and did all the painting. My barrel holes are just a hair off but all in all I'm pretty happy with it and it was only $35 since I attended his blaster workshop. I still need to add the cocking bolt too.

Nice blaster, I especially like the weathering on it! I'm going to let mine get naturally weathered as it gets beat up. I might do a pipe build someday, depending on how I feel about trooping with this heavy thing (I'm a big guy so this thing isn't too heavy for me, but I haven't held it for a couple hours yet).

 

And I already have my eyes on my next "real deal" build, just need to save some money up for it......
