Screen Accurate Power Cylinders/Cells/Targeting Sensors


Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

I've had an in-depth research thread about the E11 Power Cylinders/Cells/Targeting Sensors on FISD/WhiteArmor.net for a long time now. I've just discovered this Sandy site & thought I should post links here for anyone who may have missed them.

Drop by & say "hi!" if you haven't already visited.

Cheers, Andy

Thanks Dan :) I never get tired of seeing the "METALMITE" text peeking through under the Cylinders :)

Hey Andy,

Great to see you coming by the MEPD and making your awesome cylinders available to our community.

I signed for one set on your interest list for the resin version.

Still want one, just waiting for you to be ready to take payments!

:)

Good luck with the sale.

Saludos.

A wonderful discovery. I would be interested in one such set. :yes:

Would you like me to put you on one of the order lists, Damian? The easiest would be to post in the FISD sales thread but if that's not possible, please let me know if it's the metal or resin version you're interested in, which Shape (A to E) you'd be interested in and, if you're interested in a metal set, which capacitors you'd like fitting & whether you'd like unweathered or "PDF weathered" like the examples in my Replicas pdf.

Yes, this is the best replica i ever saw!! The only thing is, that the propstore bapty version is missing.....

Thanks Felix :) I'm not quite sure what you mean about a missing "Propstore Bapty version" though. All the E11s in ANH were made by Bapty and all ANH E11s that have been sold by the Propstore have replica Cylinders & T-track. To my knowledge I'm offering every variation of original Cylinders that we have a clear photo/screenshot of. Which version do you mean is missing & where do you mean it's missing from? Can you post a photo for clarity?

Cheers, Andy

Hey Andy,

You're right...i was a little bit unspecific:)

Here is a picture of the Tunesia blaster, which was sold in the propstore.

(Sorry for the easy link, but my ipad doesn't work with the forum:( )

I hope i have the right memories, but you have 5 versions with different little power cells in the middle. This version ( i know that this blaster is a restoration, so it could be missing) is blank.

But your props are the best selfmade i ever saw!!!!

Cheers,

Felix

Hi Felix,

Thanks for the photo. You're right, I haven't copied those Power Cylinders because they're reproductions, not originals and they're not very accurate.

It's a lovely prop & whoever bought it will really enjoy it but it's not a true representation of what the original Tunisian E11s looked like because only the base gun and scope are original. (I'm not accusing The Propstore of anything - they do state that their E11s have been dressed with reproduction greeblies.)

Apart from the Power Cylinders other inaccuracies are ( a ) The T-tracks are slightly idealised, ( b ) The original Tunisian E11s didn't have genuine magazines like that one - they had wooden dummy magazines as required by Tunisian law and ( c ) The scope rail is wider than the one on the only original Tunisian blaster we have clear photos of.

Phew! I'm always open to people suggesting I've missed something with my Power Cylinders research but I'm relieved when I can explain that I haven't :)

Cheers, Andy

Hi Andy,

Do you have other references of the Tunesia blaster as seen in the star wars chronicals from Deborah? That was my first bapty but the weapon is just showed from the magazine side........

Thanks so far and i think i have to order your prop next year:)

Happy new year!!!!

Cheers,

Felix

Hi Felix,

These photos are all of the same Tunisan E11 (the top one in "The Chronicles of Star Wars" photo).

Other images of Tunisian E11s exist which may be original (including some close ups) but Harrison Ford holding this one proves that it's authentic.

You can find my versions of this E11's Power Cylinders, scope rail & magazine on pages 12 to 15 of my "E11 Replicas" PDF (although I don't yet have a cast rear section yet so they're just on a standard Sterling body)

Happy New Year! :)

Andy
