  1. Gee, I forgot to introduce myself !

    I'm Thomas, 23, from Annecy (France), and on my way to join the 501st and Mos Esley's Police B) !

    I'm the responsible for the latest e-11 thread here, you'll see that I'm not afraid about going dirty, blaster included ! I already own the blaster, boots, pauldron (orange one, I'll go "road-block" captain), and Dirty Boy's finely crafted backpack is on its way overseas, as TK6294's iComm plus Aker speaker. Still looking for pouches, neackseal and gloves, but shouldn't be that hard to find.

    And, last but not least, my brand new ATA sandy armour will be molded, packed and shipped this weekend (yay, after a 6 weeks long waiting list !)

    Hopefully I'll get deployed soon (I plan to be really close to Anthony Forrest's sandy, even weathering), and I'll maybe try SWAT if I find a not-too-costy blaster to replace my Hasbro :lol:

    Move along, move along !

  2. Hi !

    Here's my feedback on my new E-11, heavily weathered (sand and rust and more !), because WE get dirty B)

    Standard Hasbro, bought on Amazon :

    Sanded and painted with a first layer, which will be a "primer" one :

    Doopydoo's MK2 Kit glued (this one is more screen-accurate than the previous one) :

    Second black layer, once again with spray paint (notice the use/dull effect) :

    Here, we switch to a friend's work, who has real painting skills ( unlike me, eheh), first with a rust effect :

    Then, he shed a sand-coloured liquid paint mix in the corners and gaps, then wiped the most accessible parts, to simulate dirt due to sand (wearing is already done on this pic, I'm talking about it right under) :

    Finally, with a metal-coloured paint, the various signs of wear :
