After four months of work I proudly present to you my scratchbuilt E-11 Stormtrooper Blaster equipped with "Blaster Core",
a lights and soundfx electronic module for blasters made by Irvin Plecter at Plecter Labs (www.plecterlabs.com)
I followed the PVC Blaster Builders Club tutorial and blueprints and followed step by step the great tutorial by Dark Side Sith Lord that you can find here:

And here's a little video of my blaster in action!

It's been a lot of hours of work, a trip to the hospital to take a metal chip out of my left eye,
a lot of sleep hours lost forever, but it was worth it!
And for those of you who are wondering, I'm not going to mass produce these to sell them ; )
Thanks to Stomper (Tony) for the nice T-Tracks, to TK_MD (Joey) for the great counter, to Erv' for the Blaster Core board
and to all of you for the inspiration and especially Dark Side Sith Lord for the great tutorial!
Hope you enjoyed, ciao ciao!

This just ain't fair!! :angry:
Not content with creating an absolute masterpiece that had most people gasping for air
you go and do the impossible and improve on perfection. :o
If this is the Mark 2 version I really, really don't want to see the Mark 3 without
some sort of 'health warning' and a re-suss cart.
Sir, as always, I am in awe of your exceptional creative abilities :)
