Nice work, good luck

Wow there is a big difference, good job

Very cool

Nice work there

Try this http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21435-simple-split-rivet-punch/ I have made the same tool ------------

Got a bit more sanding done on the main body and lid

Adjustable sight made, also have a sticker made for the increments and numbering Butt carved and sanded

Using some garden reticulation threaded pipe and fitting to attach barrel to body of gun, be removable for transport

Managed to get the wood pieces cut roughtly shaped and glued last night

Was doing some digging around online and came across them by accident, plans are here, you do have to register but only takes a minute. I have found a fault with the plans so far, one of the hole sections is missing one row of holes. I just made a blank A4 image, then copied the plan into it which is huge, then just moved the plan around and printed sections, if that makes sense. I will be making templates sections in pdf when I finish this build and will correct them and post them on the forum

Got the basics of the pipe work sorted, just need to do a bit of final sanding and drill some holes

So my aim was to try and build this gun close to original, which of course means a lot of work, I had to decipher the plans and convert sections into templates for seperate parts. It has taken some time unlike my other builds just to try to get to the cutting stage. There will be a lot of work to make all the smaller components also unlike my other builds. Of course pipes in Australia are metric and not imperial as in the UK and US so that was another challenge, lucky I still have a box of pvc fittings left from my markets buy. I also had to modify the templates for the holes to fit the metric pipe, all I did was measure the pipe then adjust the templates width to suit and printed, the holes are slightly oval but that won't matter as they still have their centre marks. As you can see below I have made quite a mess so far but seem to be making progress, should be able to start cutting later today

Looking great guys

OMG you shot a fellow troppe------------

And there was much excitement good luck with your build

Got my finger caught between a couple of them, was not pleasant, plenty strong, managed to chip one when I dropped it

Here you go guys this is the plans I found, like I said I had to cut and paste on to A4 size sheets and print then cut and tape together

You are very welcome, I thank those before me that have posted info and threads in the past. I will be making some templates of my builds later and try to fix the problems that I have found with some of those, make it a bit easier for those who follow in my footsteps

Not the same one, I will post a link when I get back to my computer

I'm in the middle of making a mannequin for my armor and I have all my blasters on stands, still need to find a box for transporting

Well it's no good the wait is killing me, armor armor where arth thou armor Sorry but yes, another weapon build, going to attempt a DLT-19 Found some technical drawings online, was a full size print so I had to spend an hour copy and pasting onto A4 size template then print them all. Just spent an other hour cutting and piecing them together, this is what I have so far. I may just add that most of the pipe sizing seem slightly larger than most of the templates I have found before, oh well cross my fingers and hope this one is ok.

Templates here http://www.whitearmo...er/page__st__20 Some nice builds here http://www.whitearmo...very-pic-heavy/ and here http://www.whitearmo...rion-standards/ Good luck, remember before you start read, read, then read some more, I picked up so many different ideas looking through many threads, always learning ---------------

Thank you kind sir, it's only from info others have posted and some internet searching that allows me to build. BTW I'm getting bored again and no armor as yet, hmmmmm DLT-19 templates come here lol

Don't think any of us will stop learning, always seems there is new info or pics's found form obscure distant sources, bless FISD and it's members

Apart from your D ring looking a bit too round you have done a great job. Bit hard to make out the details in the last few pic's, bit blurry but from what I can see looks good to me well done
