Agreed! Mine weighs a few pounds. Pretty heavy in hand. I built my E11 out of aluminum. The dl44 weighs is at least twice as heavy, it's a few pages back if you haven't seen it.

Likewise! This thread has been on my bookmark page since the first page, hahah.
Youve got some great work throughout this thread, all of which will help the next person down the line.

Kinda looks like it could be a star wars blaster. Wasn't there a character that looked like a cat.
I don't really want 3 build logs so I will just share my craziness on one thread. Huge batman fan. I have been waiting for these to reserface. I did just order wills templates for a cowl build. Classic 66 for me please.

Wow that E-11 looks awesome
Thank you, if you click on the link, you can see the build in its entirety. Mostly scratch built aluminum
In light of romans latest update (graflexs are so close to shipping) I went ahead and cut my t tracks from Roy based off his ANH blueprint. My miter box came in very handy for this.
Also my templates arrived today from Williams studio (the most accurate 1966 batman costume props available). Has both Batman and Robin full getup including the utility belts. I only plan on the cowl and utility belt. Luckily my mother in law is a fantastic sewer.

Been busy with work and getting ready for Christmas but finished this beauty
I didn't paint it. I used gold rub n buff. The spray would be too uniform and even. The rub n buff gave me the ability to polish up the parts that stand out while the under sides carry a different finish to look more realistic.

Sure can, lol
I went back over my hero saber from nicksdad. I decided to weather it some more, remove the copper foil and add copper paint. I also darkened up the inside of the control box and drilled out and tapped the 8-32 threads for the screw on the emitter as well as add another hole that I spied from Chaim's thread on the hero.

Here's a funky tip on how I weathered my ring. It's not painted! I used vinegar and black coffee. Just like an Easter egg. Same principle. I put the ring in a cup and poured vinegar in just to cover it and added some black coffee., about a shot glass. I let it sit for about a day. Once I liked the color I pulled it out.

Thank you, however I have to give Chaim's thread all the credit. I like how most have kept theirs new and clean but I really like the way Chaim did his. So after reading his post for a while, I dug mine out and remade it.
I have an extra screw lol. Came in a 2 pack. Simple hex allan head 8-32. Did you notice the other hole. It's drilled out to a 6-32 but un tapped. Chaïm found this in some research photos so of course I had to do it. Monkey see monkey do, lol. The screw is 1/4 inch long and fits perfect. Just deep enough to go inside without being visible inside the opening, and not sticking outside the emitter. The secret hole found by chaim is only drilled out around 1/4 inch at most. I drybrushed a hint of black around it so it stands out better.
I'm surprised no one liked my coffee idea.
i did not notice the other hole! man i forgot about that, im going to have to re read chaims old thread. refresh my memory
His thread goes into a lot of appreciated detail. Great reading and tutorials.
Thanks Chaïm! :thumbsup
