Sandman Tigui Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 Luis ...the pic of my build for Smally shows a missing catch for folding stock under the back end of the barrel,that is because Brad was awaiting that part from Doopey Doos,and also the selector switch -safety catch- (and he still is too i believe ! ) a great and informative thread though bro ! well done Mi Amigo Thanks amigo! I'm doing the buildup without the selector switch and without a mini cylinder that goes between the cut mag and Hengster count.

Sandman Tigui Posted June 17, 2013 Author Share Posted June 17, 2013 i'm in the process of building a PVC E-11 from scratch, handmaking every part for my move along trooper. This thread is invaluable, and i caught it at the absolute perfect time in the midst of my building. Thank you SO much for this, Looks like i'm gonna make one of these right off the bat. Thanks brothers! Thanks bro! If my head doesn't betray me drilling the 74 holes using up to 3 dremel cutters was a task. I'm focusing in the little details as substituting and drilling real screws from the plastic ones. Also if it helps for the T-tracks I sanded by hand the tips and bent them with a heating gun applying pressure with my thumb at the ends to resemble a perfect hole thru fit. Course I used a glove. LOL Will be posting pics later on. If you need any help let me know its been slow and detailed for me but having fun in every piece I work to make a sweet Baptsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felice Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 I love the bapty! i know just 2 versions and a made a comparison (just of the left side of the blaster between the wooden magazine bapty and the original magazine) and i marked some details of the 'propstore' bapty (this version is already in progress;-) ) i hope it helps....

TD30303 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Thanks for teh pics, much appreciated, now if you'll excuse me, i'm gonna go cut a scope rail! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Mine is finished:-p I have to modify my scope ....the doopy scope isn't that i want and my target is, to built a bupty without any original parts (ok...just the hengstler:-D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 At the last event in grünstadt/germany I had seen Alex' Bapty blaster...and I have to say...I love this style more and more. Ok guys...the next kit will be a bapty version... Btw...Felix: is your version in progress with the 'normal' magazine?...I think I make this version too.

Felice Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Yep Daniel because my first is the wooden version. My version is the restored bapty from the propstore...this one is a little bit different, specially the used look (like Alex one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 My version will be without the mag cap. Pure shaved and I've substituted plastic parts for metal parts. Ruggero sent me a fine piece of a Hengster part. Still doing my research if: 1. I add a number count 2. Add glass scope viewers on both ends 3. Leave them plain Want to go Baptsy in every way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Progress done round 2: 1 Cutted and measure each T-Track into shape 2 Used a knife for the curvature shape 3 Sanded each T-Track Tip 4 Bent them with a heating gun. Just the tips slightly 5 While still hot molded into the circle vents with a little preasure 6 Fine sawed the folding stock 7 Out of an acrylic part shaped it into the aiming sights 8 Glued all parts with ACE 3000 Plastic Exposy 9 Some gaps like in the sights I will still mold with epoxy clay 10 Cut it out a little metal tube and filled it out with epoxy clay 11 Added a bolt screw by pressure at the tip 12 This was to substitute the plastic ammo lever for a more accurate one 13 Will let the glue cure for 24 hrs and seal some parts with loctite and baking soda Next stop to work on the mag and rail scope parts. Then do 2 rounds of aluminum spray, 1 of copper in certain parts, 2 of flat black and then weather. Hope you like progress so far bros !

Sandman Tigui Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 Been trying to find a reference about it, does someone know if the original 76 Baptsy had a Hengster counter and if the M38 Scope had glass fixtures in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Both YES! Here you find everything you need for your build... http://www.propstore...rooper-blaster/ I tried to bend the steale scope rail (yes, it was steal, not aluminium) but i had no chance to get the curves i needed. Enjoy my friend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 Both YES! Here you find everything you need for your build... http://www.propstore...rooper-blaster/ I tried to bend the steale scope rail (yes, it was steal, not aluminium) but i had no chance to get the curves i needed. Enjoy my friend! This is gold bro, thanks for the share bro!!!! 4 points I see for criteria: 1. The original sepia pic has the mag shaved off with a wooden plate. The certified prop has a regular mag cap and an inserted piece to it. Both are correct, they are different versions with slight mods. However what would be more Baptsy accurate? 2. In the certified prop I count 4 digit number slots. Correct? 3. M38 Scope has glass lens at both ends. See NO imperial reticle although I have various designed templates. Go with or without reticle? 4. In the original certified pic the fork like part looks like if it has a little rivet. The sepia pic doesn't. Again what would make it more Baptsy legit? Let the criteria discussion begin, and once again thanks for the share and response Felice!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Here my thoughts: to 1: both variations are accurate, so i decided to build both ;-) (the wooden one is finished) to 2: yes, just 4 digits on the counter. The problem is, that this version is very rare to 3: without reticle to 4: for me both variations are accurate The bapty from the star wars chronicals and from the propstore are the only detailed references. I can't find any detailed reference shots in the movie. So, if you plan tu build a bapty, you have 2 versions for your selection:-) so build two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 9, 2013 Author Share Posted July 9, 2013 My neither bro, I guess we have both outsmoked the references we have. That been said I guess I'll go for the Bapty version in the sepia pic. I find it more unusual just due to the capless mag. Wohooooooo bro!!! Passion for building an accurate Bapty is getting big my dear friend!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felice Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Tahnks to OpiWan because he was the first who posted his Bapty build here in the forum!! this is my first one...with the wooden magazine The only "original" thing is the hengstler with 5 numbers. The "problem" of this version is, you just have one picture of the left side. So you have to interpret the right side. Ok, every SWAT have to interpret his armor, so it doesn't matter. To build a Bapty is really a lot of fun my friend!!!!! I think i can start my thread at weekend of the second one....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 It sure is my friend!!! And I totally agree with you for example: will have to add a rivet in the pipe on the right side. Pure logic. As for the wooden cap cutted a little part in area slightly smaller than the whole mag area. Will paste it and will make a wall in the shape of all the mags end as it was shaved off. Designed some sweet digit numbers in my laptop which will have them printed in photographic paper an seal them with a thick plastic cover. Had actually done 4 digits my TD number. LOL 5044 guess will have to 05044 Lucky you are doing the 2 versions!!! Bapty will get popular you'll see! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 10, 2013 Author Share Posted July 10, 2013 Here comes another progress in the mag cap. Yes that's wood! LOL after it cures will build with molding clay a slight wall that borders the shape of the mag. If you see the original Bapty sepia pic there's a little gap between the wooden cap and the mag itself. More progress to come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman Tigui Posted July 14, 2013 Author Share Posted July 14, 2013 Almost there!!! Observe the gaps in the shaved wooden magless cap. Have measured and aligned pieces according to the original Bapty sepia pic. Next weekend paint, weathering and minor fine detailing. '76 Bapty Blaster here I come!!!
