Tunisian Bapty 2.0 - time for an upgrade

Hey my fellow dirty dudes:salute:

after seeing my fellow deployment officer Thomas´new Doopy build, I was so in for an upgrade of my own modded Doopy build.

Here´s what it looked like at the beginning, it was indeed my very first E-11 build... and definitely a lot of room for improvement.

Wasn´t very happy with the paintjob on the scope so I made a new one:

But in the last weeks I completely reworked the whole blaster... wasn´t very easy to take it apart and sand it down.

made a new trigger guard and scoperail:

and added a lot of small details:

also remodelled the backpart to emulate the original cast aluminum back with those seams:

So the back was spraypainted in a silver colour while the rest of the blaster was spraypainted with a gunmetal and a light coat of chocolate brown and black. I then masked off certain areas to give it that used look with paintchips. Finally I gave it a new paintjob using the same wrinkle spray paint Thomas has already used in his build. I also added the wire wrapped in red cloth on the power cylinders.

The counter is a real vintage Hengstler but has a plastic box at the front on which I have cut out the square in the middle. The mag is real too... with real wood!:peace:

The cartridge ejection is made of metal bend and cut into shape... because only painting it silver wasn´t enough anymore.

As I really want this to be the blaster of the Move Along Captain, I have also added the little greeblie on top of the scope... although I think that there might even be two of those greeblies according to the following picture. Let me now what you think.

And here´s a comparison shot between the Doopy and my real Sterling heavy metal build:

Waaayyyy better! Great update, Urs!   :duim:

 

I’m personally am no big fan of the major paint chips but more of the subtle scratches and dimples but that’s just my personal flavor! Beside my personal taste on this behalf the Blaster looks really great!

As I just realized that all my pictures have disappeared - thank you flickr - I am using a new hosting site. 

I have done quite some changes to my Bapty again, as I want it to be SWAT-worthy and when looking at some pics of the Move Along Trooper, I noticed that his Bapty is quite special: I think I can identify two greeblies on top of the scope (not just shadows;)) , furthermore does this Bapty have a remarkable difference as far as the T-tracks are concerned. The lower two T-tracks on the right side are shorter, leaving the last hole next to the ejection port uncovered and - I am not completely sure of this - this also goes for the third T-track, so took out my dremel and dremeled off the existing -tracks (keep in mind that it´s a Doopy) and added new ones from Super6. I also adjusted my weathering once again, trying to emulate the paintchips of the screen-used prop. I also adjusted the bend on the trigger guard to match the reference.

Here´s what my blaster looked like before:

Here are the reference pics I´m talking about:

One can immediately identify the two greeblies on top of the scope:

And here you can see the holes that have been left uncovered:

And finally what my Move-Along-Bapty looks like:

maybe it´s going to stay like this for a while... until I notice another crucial detail/characteristic of this specific blaster.:sweat:

Oh yeah, forgot to mention: I think that the hole closest to the ejection port was somehow filled up... at least it looks different than the other ones,

Cheers mates.
