Hi there, about six or seven years ago I made this at work, it’s all steel and yes I know it’s not that accurate but I thought some here would like to see it, it’s been sitting in my loft for years and I think I’m going to paint it at last the scope was probably the hardest part to make.

Amazing! That's a lot of bending!

I might leave it unpainted. The steel is the coolest part for me. Maybe finish off the wood grip with a little sanding and some stain or varnish to bring out the wood.
 
Thanks guys…yeah I’m in two minds about painting it, it looks cool left as is but I think I probably will paint it.

for my skill level some of the bending was tough. I had to have basic welding for the job and I thought I’d make this, I made it after about six months of practice.
 
Make another one and paint it...that stainless steel is too beautiful to paint:cool::cool:(y)(y)
Unfortunately I don’t work there anymore, I haven’t picked up a welder for about four years, now you are making me doubt whether I should paint it lol.
 
Very cool! Looks like it could be a e-11 prototype by BlasTech Industries to bridge the gap between the e-10 and e-11. for that reason I’d leave it unpainted. Great work!
 
I wouldn’t paint it, I would polish it to a chrome-like finish.

It reminds me of Captain Phasma’s chrome blaster, set apart from the regular troopers blasters by the finish.
If I had another Stormtrooper blaster I’d be more tempted to leave it unpainted, at least if I paint it and regret it, it would strip easy.
 
I got the Airsoft version. Not totally accurate but best in cost vs accuracy, plus IIRC the Airsoft Sterlings were used for ‘Rogue One’.

I got the E-11 specific Airsoft so it already had the scope rail, power cylinders, and barrel T-Track. The scope and box counter are pretty terrible but I’m going for the Luke/Han ANH style so no box counter needed and I got a Blaster Factory scope as an upgrade.
