M19 bolts are big certainly bigger than on the M38.

I think I have both, I can post side by side pics of the bolts if it helps. But the DEC bolts are pretty much spot on. You're scope looks great!

You´re from the UK - why you didn´t used the original parts?

I filled the pontoons/supported the plugs with putty and epoxy.

Also, do you have a link for the Michell tone arm "missile" heads?

I think I'm using old X-acto knives for the rods!

Yea, that crosman is a really good base! It even has the same body contours as my resin piece. Are you going to fill in the upper receiver?

Re: Star Wars Blaster Builds

I have the opportunity to acquire a Webley No.3 and I'm thinking I could use it for the EE-3 but I'm not sure if the No.3 is too far off the correct No.1 for an accurate looking replica. The side profile shapes and the cocking-thumb-thing are quite different. It needs a bit of a clean up as it's starting to get oxidised but it's affordable.

Any thoughts?

Where did you buy this from?

Re: Star Wars Blaster Builds

Anybody know if T-tracks on imperial blasters should be weathered in some way or left pristine?
Since I've aged and weathered the rest of the gun I'm thinking maybe just flatten the shine on my Wannawanga tracks a little with a plastic 'scotchbrite' type pad?

No weathering on E-11 T-tracks
