I nearly boned my shoulder set up because my hand slipped when cutting the slots on the chest. let me know if you need anything from me from the armor side This exact thing happened to me the other night. Nothing a little bit of ABS paste won't fix. I had one side get a small slice from the blade about 1/4 inch, will be an easy fix. Link to comment

Detaleader[501st] Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 @fb501 Mine is from Philo Props and measures roughly: 75mm tall, 50mm wide and 25mm deep, without the attachment hooks. CRL says approximately 2 inch (5,08 cm) by 3 inch (7,62 cm) by 1 inch (2,54 cm). Link to comment
Detaleader[501st] Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 Something I only realized today while scrolling through the OxProps Facebook page: A TK flashlight was designed for Rogue One, but apparently didn't make it into the movie. It did however make it into the Hot Toys figure for the Jedha Patrol trooper. Turns out Kimzi (the Radio operator) and a bunch of the soldiers that follow him end up using those exact flashlights! I figure this would make for a cool optional accessory, for both armored and non-armored versions. The flashlight is not mounted to the blasters and handheld: 5 Link to comment

From what I can see, the most important difference between the E-10 we see in Andor and the older one, is that the E-10 from Andor includes a scope similar to the one we see on the classic E-11. 1 Link to comment

It's also very interesting to see the paint finish. It's darker than I thought. Do you have more picture of this? Link to comment

The Mudtrooper blaster has a box with two spikes that can extend forward, in universe this is considered a bayonet. 6 hours ago, pm07 said: I have seen a file for this somewhere.

OxProps is the maker of the file, which is how I stumbled over this thing again That's where I bought my E-10.5 file for now. 12 hours ago, fb501 said: Cool screen used of these ones was only 67mm tall, 45mm wide and 25mm deep. they were resin casts of a 3d print with a notch in the top That's great insight, thank you! I can see the rectangular hole in the backside. How did these mount to your belt? Very interesting, I wonder if there's a difference between the boxes for the mains vs boxes for anybody else? Either way - I want to grab another set of boxes now! Thank you 2 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 10, 2023 Share Posted January 10, 2023 i need to go get that file. Ive not heard of the maker, thanks for that info. To me the boxes always looked like cast resin, this confirms it. So lets focus on the blaster first. Well swing back to this flashlight.

Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Simon to answer your query, its the original text from the mudtrooper version of the E10. The webbig is mounted to the blaster on the left side with snap hooks. I believe we left it intentionally vague on the Mudtrooper-its been a long time since we worked on that, but the lighting was terrible in most of the the finished shots. here is a clear shot of it. it looks like a single point sling attached aft of the reciever, in the stock mid -span with one strap going to a single hook. I also see there is a short picatinny rail on the left side where the flashlight would mount. 1 1 Link to comment
Detaleader[501st] Posted January 11, 2023 Share Posted January 11, 2023 Just to make sure: Do all the E-10.5 have a sling on there? Do we have any photo reference of any without slings? Just want to make sure before we make that a "mandatory" detail on there Link to comment

Other firearms and accessories that not everyone had on their person will be the blaster pistol and the holster for it. 1 1 Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 If its in the photos of the uniforms were writing the CRLs for, it needs to be included, even if it is an option. If it isnt, we will be right back here in 3 or four months with someone asking why it wasnt covered in the first place, and wanting to know the reason we decided to ignore it. Same goes for things like the chincups, which were breaking and falling off on-set. 1 Link to comment
Vanedor[501st] Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Concerning the name of the blaster, Wookiepedia calls the Andor version, the E-10.5 rifle. I wonder if it should be the same, in the CRL? E-10.5 rifle | Wookieepedia | Fandom Link to comment
Blackwatch[CMD-DCA] Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Is this a resource we trust, as canon? My only issue with any wiki is that its crowd edited.

Well, the original canon source is here. "The Eye" Trivia Gallery | Andor | StarWars.com They say this : Quote The Aldhani garrison troopers use a variation of the standard E-11 infantry blaster that has a longer barrel and a longer stock. It's based on the E-10 rifles seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story, but is a step closer to the later E-11, making it a sort of E-10.5 rifle. They do not say its name is "E-10.5". But I guess at the moment it's the closest thing we have. Link to comment

I agree, it beats just "Imperial Blaster" or "Aldhani Trooper Blaster". Worst case, if there ever should be a more updated source, the name can be swapped. Like E-10B, E-11L, feel just as viable, but imo the only official name we have thus far is "E-10.5" 2 hours ago, Blackwatch said: Blaster Change Log 1.2 E-10 Blaster Based on a real or replica Sterling sub-machine gun, scratch-built, cast, 3D print or a modified commercial toy Stormtrooper blaster.
