because a few months ago my scratch blaster broke I was now scouting to start cusomizing one of those kenner E-11's into a custom star wars gun that would just look kinda cool.
well I'm not goin to change much, as it will only become more and more fragile.
I used 2 small screw ring thingies and 2 small pieces of wood. I screwed the kenner open (wich was a pain cause it's also kind of like glued together) and then made 2 ver small holes in the seam line where the 2 plastic halves come together.
screwed the small ring thingies into the small wood blocks, insterted them into the gun at the small holes and put the Kenner back together... tada...
I'm probably going to add a flashlight of some sort, and if I can find one a laser pointer aswell... and some nice coolie paint job like the one above... maybe weatherd some more...
might do something about the kenner scope lenses aswell... they are TOO fake...
not going to fill the screws though, as that will make it impossible to take it appart in the future for fixing or adding things... paint masks alot...so no worries...
the sound fx are still working yyyaahhyyy!!! Just laughed so loud when I heard them!! got this Kenner from a friend from a dutch forum for free and wasn't expecting fully working SFX, I didn't even really care, but now that theyre working... I love em * bzzzt!!*

and with the back of the scope closed done with a pvc end cap, just heat it up with a heat gun, slide it over and let it cool, not going anywhere...
dremmeld a small hole in for the flash light.
The wiring was just temporarily, it is now kept in place by another rubber ring at the back.

thank youand here it is with the base colour of paint, wich is a kind of brown/dark purple thing... no black... I hate plain simple matt black guns... so cheap.
then a wash of silver mixed with blue and again with red and gold over that one.
the camera flash kind of kills the look of it, ah well..
only now will matt black spray can come into sight... just a wee bit to make the purple, silver and gold more of a whole...

Dude that's sweet. I love the energy cell thing. Makes me wanna get finished up on my imperial blaster. So, your ROTJ blaster broke? That sucks. I got mine tore apart again, trying to make it better already. What did you use for the main body part on your ROTJ, above the trigger? Just a heated and molded piece of Sintra? I need that part on mine just a little more accurate, then Ill be happy.

thank you
I used a piece of plexiglas and bened that, the entire inside of the "chamber"is almost entirly kitted (bondo that glues) so that's pretty rigid... it's the point at the handle that goes into the chamber just at the edge of the wooden grip where it broke.
got like thousands of tips on how to fix it, with kit, glue, bondo etc.. but it's never going to last very long, so I may fix it someday with some aluminium plates on both sides and screw them together, but even that it will be for display only I gues..

well I'm satisfied, so after the misting I added some dusty colours and then slightly black misted again.
working LED and SFX WWIIEEHJ!!!
and working flash light, and an ammo..pack... thingy...
need to work on that, I was thinking about painting a new one with actual red and yellow, kind of liek the "Doom" shot gun shells you see on the floor... dunno why maybe to enhance the "ammo" idea...
