That could be. Green stuff all the way :thumbsup:
A big question to the bapty round...
Like I said, I build the tunisian blaster like seen in the movie....well, I noticed that the cocking lever isn't mounted at the main body. :ermm:
Look at this pic--->>

Is the cocking lever broken off...before the pics were made?!?!?! :blink:

Hi Dan,

I'm posting the same info here that I posted in your new thread, for neatness :)

That E11 does have a cocking handle of sorts - it looks to me like a short slotted screw. Here's a shot zoomed in.

If you look at this photo of what I believe is also a genuine Tunisian E11 you can see a hole has been drilled for a mock "cocking lever" to fit into.

Here are 2 others. The T-track, rail & scope aren't the originals but I believe the "cocking levers" are. The top one looks like a random bit of hardware pushed in the hole & the bottom one looks like a sort section of rod or tube with a screw screwed in, like the Harrison Ford promo photo E11 but a bit longer.

Hope that helps with your question.

Next step....

The next problem is the magazine of the doopy doos kit...this is not really accurate and I don't like it. But a good friend of me has good resin stuff...But I have to wait for this until it's arrives.

In the meanwhile is this my progress--->>

Ooooh...the chaos :teehee:

Ola...

today it was the wedding. I've connected the scoperail incl. the scope with the main body.

Until one piece (the power cylinder) is the blaster finished so far. Nevertheless here's a few pics of the the previous result--->>

Lovely work Dan, right down to the screen-accurate casting seams & shape of the resin sprue :)

If you want even more crazy detail while you wait for Cylinders, you could add the resistor to the front of the Hengstler. Here's a close-up of my replica to see what I mean. Check it against the various photos of the original - it's tiny & blurry, but it's there:

Guys...your words make me really proud :sweat:

@Andy: Of course...my pursuit for absolute accuracy is infinite :D ...and you're right, I don't have seen this little thing before. Have you a reference pic of this part/position?

So...I need such a little resistor for my hengstler :woot:

@Felix: We should really create a 'Bapty-Club' :lol:

Just the publicity photos of the E11 you've recreated. I've posted them all on MEPD & FISD but here's the folder:

@Felix: We should really create a 'Bapty-Club' :lol:

It might help you get more people interested in Shape D resin Cylinders to encourage me to do a run of them! lol :)

Cheers, Andy
