E11 on a budget finsihed..... for now

[g05ty]

I have finally finished my E11 on a budget project and I am happy enough with it to show a few pics here.
It has taken a while to get it together and there was no way i could of finished it without the help/suggestions of a few members here so a massive thanks to everyone who has helped :cool and even more thanks go to tango'd fett for a great t-track suggestion :thumbsup.
As the title suggests it is a "budget" project so the actual cost of it ..... £12 including the paints and glues so i am quite proud of it as my first build


The blaster with light weathering on a stand i threw together with a few LED's and hard carved logo..

Thanks for looking
Rob

I have found pics of various stages of the build that i didnt know i still had ... DOH! so here they are hopefully in order..
the pvc pipe freshly drilled and the inner barrel

parts for the scope

The first coat of primer after attaching the grip and mag and the completed scope

First coat of black

the scope rail and stock attached

the stock unfolded

all parts attached waiting for a little warmer weather to paint (-3 outside and snowing)

the finished (for now) blaster

i would like at some point to maybe attach a hengstler etc but unsure if i would be able to make them from scratch... who knows.

That's amazing (especially for the price)! Well done sir, well done. Did you build the stock? I didn't see that in your parts list.

I observe that it's at least a 16 cigarette problem...lol

Nice work, very admirable to build a gun like this from scratch these days.

Very good.

I did indeed build the stock it was made from an old road sign that someone creamed in the snow i think i did list it but my brain has been frozen lately so might not have lol

Thanks for the kind comments i know it isnt screen accurate but im happy and it should go down well when im out with the mkgarrison raising funds for gt ormond st childrens hospital ... combining my love for SW and a great cause.

I am looking into putting some LED's into the scope on this and i was wondering had anyone made a cast of a hengstler in 2 parts as i would like to fit a 9v battery inside there, i could put the battery inside the mag but i think it would look better with the wires coming out of the hengstler and possibly trigger touch activation so it only glows when a micro switch on the trigger i pressed, any ideas gratefully received.

 

[Darkturbo04]

Well done. Completing a scratch built e-11 blaster is on my list of projects to undertake.

 

[phase pistol]

Folding stock and everything! Well done sir. :cool

 

[MooCriket]

Very well done:thumbsup

 

[Hammer3246]

Where might someone find the stock for the T-track?

 

[g05ty]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone.
The t-track was actually E-track (the stuff used for sliding glass cabinet doors) with the sides cut off it (thanks to tango'd fett for the idea) which was very inexpensive from B&Q (diy store if youre not in the uk).

That's pretty sweet for being on a budget.

 

[SaintFenris]

Very cool. I'm looking for a good way to mass produce these for a film project and this will come in handy. Thanks for sharing.
