Star Wars Stormtrooper Plastic E11 Blaster Prop Build 

Top video Happy Trooper, wonderful bit by bit or step by step build. I enjoyed it immensely and good use of the 'everyday' items to make a great looking prop. Sadly Darth Girlfriend would frown on such a waste of my skills to make an item that would be of no use in our home! keep up the good work...loved the heavy blaster too

Haha! I keep hearing a soda can opening.

4 years ago, I followed most of your procedures of making the E-11 stormtrooper blaster although I didn't use the rubies version, but the Disney Parks version which it'll become a bit rare nowadays. I made it and sold someone, but I'm starting to miss the work that I've done, now I'm think of making another one just for my personal SW collection. Wish me luck!

awesome video...new to the channel..love it..keep these projects coming...big star wars fan...who isn't! lol

Awesome video. Very helpful. I’ll be using it to convert a Rubies to something a bit less toy like. Thanks!

Thanks for all the ideas! Waiting on the gun to ship from Amazon. Gonna leave the fake D-ring on and use either a 2 way cable split or 2 to 1 RCA jack as my power source

That is the best conversion video ever. Very practical and very clever.

Very nice. 18 thumbs down Rebel Scum are fearful of this weapon that's not as clumsy or random as a lightsaber. The Rubie's works pretty well as a base. Check out my vid of the Kenner "Drill" version. It'd be fun to mod that a little bit. I also have vids taking apart my Kenner Falcon, X-wing and TIE Fighter to un-sieze the SFX motors. They hadn't been run in 30 years. I'd like to take the blaster apart but it works and it's debatable how hard it is to get back together. I thought I'd never get the TIE Fighter back together with the wing springs and the round shape. I literally gave it one last try or I was going to give up lol MTFBWY

Nice! I've got myself a Hasbro E11 which I hope to modify - it's a good size but missing many of the key details... I already painted up another blaster last summer and filled it with 350g of plasticine to give it more 'heft'

1:21 "BEST CGI OF THE 21rst CENTURY

I died when the crappy cgi dinosaur walked by hahaha that fits in just fine. Good tip putting the paint in warm water!

Could you do a video on how to make a DC-15S/DC-15A?

how did you get the inside of the blaster black? my gun came with stripped screws so opening the gun isn't an option for me.

Did you seal the paint when it was done? How has your paint job held up? Got one of these and wish i had found your video a week ago.... Last night I changed my mind. I will update using the techniques you made in this video. Some questions I have: 1. If you are going to just cover the hole on the large side of the scope, then why did you drill it out? Why not just glue the picture flat agains the intact flat scope? Or did yours already have a hole in scope at both ends? Mine I bought is solid on both ends. Did you drill out the front? 2. Why didn't you make the ring for the scope the same diameter as the large end of the scope instead of having the step? The pics I have found do not have this step. 3. Did you glue the pop rivets to the power cylinders or not? Because it I do not see them when you glue the power cylinders to the blaster. 4. I ordered two pack of mic jacks. Glad I did. I had horrible time cutting mic jack perpendicular. So , what I did instead is I did not cut the black portion of mic jack. Instead I drilled an undersized hole with closest size drill bit I had. Then I sanded hole larger until I could press fit the mic jack into the hole. Then I glued it in place. 5. Also, looking back at video now, it looks like video sanded power cylinders smooth . I wish I had done that. Not sure I want to go back and sand now that they are painted.

I just ordered my rubies blaster, you can't beat the price for this prop.

Nice build , I have the E11 from Sheperden design studio's, An ur Blaster is awesome , A little short tho but super cool non the less. The Empire approves!

How accurate is this in regards to size when compared to the actual blaster? EDIT: Oh, and fantastic vid, I subscribed :)

You just earned yourself a sub! I just wish you showed everything after it was built. kinda want to see how perty that baby looks by itself

nice! can u do a star wars thermal detonator that would be cool

This was very good. Thanks for sharing it!

Gun looks amazing

Great tutorial gave me some great ideas!

this looks cool though I might cut the pieces on the barel to make it look more like the movie

Looks sick dude!

HappyTrooper I used a Clone Trooper Helmet once to make it look more like a Mandalorian styled Helmet. I used a different weathering technique. Mostly spray painting Metallic Silver on it first and after 24 hours applying Matte Black and waiting only an hour before taking a wide bristle paint brush and making it look like it'd been scuffed up in live combat. That weathered look always makes it look like it'd been through many battles and held its own.

No point having a blaster tks miss everything😝

Wow. That is awesome.

do you put the spray paint can for 5 minutes in the sink when you get ready to do the 2nd lair of spray paint the next day? please respond

Planning on using the weathering and painting techniques to make my Nerf Rampage look more like a custom E-11 model (if Lucasfilm can keep making up variants, then so can I.)

Would this be 501st approved if done correctly?

Wow... 51 people just suck. I enjoyed this tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

Hello and good afternoon my name is kevin and I've got a rubies e-11 blaster I drilled 9 holes between and then I painted the detailing first and then I painted the main blaster

Pretty cool blaster

any idea on how you can add some weights on the inside to feel a bit more heavy like most blasters? i hate how the rubies are hallow.

Hey Happy Trooper! The reticle links seem to be broken on the forums. Is there anyway you can post or send me those files? Thank you!

Any trick to painting the inside after drilling out the holes? do you have to disassemble the gun to do so?

@HappTrooperDotCom what are your plans for some other build tutorials

I see the unseen. The base for this blaster is the UK "Sterling" submachine gun...

This is really helpful thanks :)

Is this compatible with the 501 legion requirements?

Epic!!! Thank you for making this!

I think I'll do this sometime

I might trace an old 1997 Hasbro E-11's grip to make a DH-17 with some piping and 3D printed parts.

Real hokey looking

I kept looking for where you showed cutting out the rail. You show it cut out but don't demonstrate it

Nice video, any word back from the GML? Happy Trooping.

Great vid happy!!! Do you happen to have an e11 blaster holster template?

Am I alone in thinking the Stormtrooper blaster looks very much like a "Mauser Werke A.-G Automatic Pistol model 57?

Amazing!

Can you open out the foldable stock?

Pretty cool

I like the fx

Dude ..how many sodas you drinking ?

What font did you use for the counter numerals?

This is the new hope variant right?

Cool

Where did you get your stormtrooper armor?

Wait, did people actually steal your primer?

Is the silver a acryl Colour? Greetings

I guess the cgi in the background in the intro was part of the special editions then?

You sound EXACTLY like Mando holy shiiiid

ha, that "other" blaster was Leia's first blaster in ANH.

Luke warm huh? I THOUGHT YOU WERE AN IMPERIAL STORMTROOPER?

looks good but a lot of work... dont know if I will have time to do all of that...

"Do a barrel hole!" I'm sorry.

Hello Happy Trooper I have followed your instructions to the word building the e-11 blaster very impressed, The only problem I am having is the power cylinders, The reason being is that I went to shapeways.com to purchase one I am in the U.K, and they want £9.00 GBP , However when I went to the checkout they wanted £28.00 GBP for shipping which I think is extortionate, I have purchased things from the U.S. before much larger items and paid less for the shipping, So I am asking could you possibly send me the dimensions of the power cylinder tubes length and diameter this would be very helpful in my build, Also I have ordered another Blaster the same that I am going to take apart use the x2 sides and from the outside make some fibre glass moulds to make a blaster, Best Regards

Czemu on dał Chemię Nowej Ery w tle? xDD

Make me all the blasters you made

No matter how accurate you are, you can’t hit your target with this gun

Where did you get the Costume

it is a Sterling machine gun....(ww2)

No wonder they never hit anything look at that grip angle lol that's horrible

Flight Simulator Music anyone?

You put a lot of effort into this project and you got my full respect for that but unfortunately it still looks like a toy for kids because the size of that "toy" is not acurate to the blasters used in the movie. Also the barrel where the windshieldwipers are seem to have a rounded form which is also not acurate. All things considered, a good job. Imperial greetings:-)
