70th Explorers Garrison: Forums

I started with the standard Hasbro E-11.

I purchased a Doopy Doo's Kit. I did not see any reason to re invent the wheel.

My first step in the conversion process was to cut off the parts not needed on the scope and muzzle, and re shaped the trigger.

Then I used plasti putty and filled in all of the screw holes and used rivets for detail in others. Then I installed the scope parts.

I added the new muzzle and dremeled out the cast bolts and replaced them with real bolts.

I sanded off all the manufacturer warning and informational labels. Then I removed and replaced the heavy trigger guard with a more accurate one. Along the way I dry fitted all the other Kit parts to see what else needed to be changed. I attached the but stock and d ring as well. Notice the rivets in the scope rail mounting brackets.

Then I glued the ammo clip and holder to the frame.

I reconstructed the front sights and added real screws to the entire build where screews were located on the Doopy Doo's kit for detail.

I cut off the Hasbro scope rail and replaced it with a new rail. You can see the trigger guard replacement here as well.

I added all of the parts that did not need black paint underneath them and primed the entire blaster. Wet sanded it and gave it a second coat.

I let the primer dry for two days and then gave it a coat of flat black paint.



I painted all of the spare parts off of the blaster in order to get in behind them. After they dried I glued them on to the blaster and repainted the entire blaster.

I painted on some of the detail.

I weathered the blaster and installed the wiring for detail and the build was done. The entire process took me about a weeks time.







Finished.

Nice build!

looks great!!! Hope to have mine done soon.
