Please help me list the E-11 filming variants

[Probe Droid]

Of course the Bapty were made that way, they were used in other movies. ILM added the Star Wars greeblies, and maybe the wooden mags

Those are known images of ROTJ E-11

What do you mean exactly by "known images"?

Is this the thread you're referring to?

Screen-accurate E11 Power Cylinders / Cells / Targeting Sensors Project

Hi guys, I've discovered that some RPF members haven't yet heard about the in-depth Power Cylinders project over on FISD. It's been a fascinating project and is nearly at an end now. I think it's well worth a read for makers & collectors :) Here are some clickable links...

www.therpf.com

That's very interesting reading! All the references in the PDF - I haven't read the off-site thread yet - are to ANH, but from what JKNO said above, I assume the props didn't change too much to ESB.

Anyway, in addition to all the little differences of power cylinders those PDFs detail (and a list of which blaster used which scope family), there's also several very good shots of the magazines. A couple of the shots of the non-functional Tunisian blasters make me wonder if that's not the origin of the "Bapty and/or ILM cut down some magazines" as there's a couple of places where it looks like a real mag, but without the mag stops. This would be consistent with JKNO's last statement of "And yes, there are shortened magazines with blocks of wood inside present on the E-11, on the Tunisian version." I'm not making a definitive statement, though - and one can clearly see the wooden dummy mags in the "post production" blasters.

I'm now even more certain that the blank-firing blasters were just using proper 10-round mags and not something that had been altered by anyone, though.

Speaking of jkno , I really appreciate you translating information into a language I can read! I figured it was a machine-translating issue. But since I couldn't be having this discussion in anything except English or maybe French, I'm grateful for you doing that.



Is that different from the one Banzai88 listed?

Many pics have been taken of these blasters over the years.

I have one of the VERY RARE 'White e11s' That was intended to be used in Empire by White Boba Fett but like the Armor, it got canned.



Disclaimer: I just made that up I actually build a few ANH e11s and had a spare so I painted it white ***Delete post if you must, but a little bit funny right...

Arriving home allows me to post some pics with the OT E-11. I have over 1000 images, some are rare, some am not allowed to post. I used to have a Photobucket account with hundreds of photos hosted online, but when Photobucket went berserk I decided to delete my accounts there. Anyway here are some pics of the E-11 present in Original Trilogy, some of the others you can see in the following threads on whitearmor.net site:

jkno Thanks for posting the pic detailing the "Bapty" conversions - I was pretty sure they wouldn't have altered the receiver tube, and it's nice to have details.

Also, that MGC box is the most 1960s Canada thing I've ever seen. Serious vibes of several of the proposed flag designs in that. I love it!

Being inspired by the Canadian C1, MGC considered to make the cool box. I'm glad my own MGC came with the box, looks very nice indeed.
