  2. DLT-19 Scratch Build with Wood & PVC (w/ templates)

    in BlasTech DLT-19

    Posted

    Getting there. Had a major problem where the weight of the barrel was too much for the receiver....long story....it was a mistake on my part. So what is did was add a mending plate as a support brace between the barrel and receiver. I know I know, it's not the most screen accurate but then again neither is this blaster if you want to be honest. It will be a fun blaster for trooping and it didn't cost me $300!

    Trimmed sanded and working on assembly. I made a lot of mistakes but the thing I keep reminding myself of is that this is NOT "real armor" that I am putting together for 501st approval. This is something fun for my daughter to wear with me on troops.

    Been replacing everything that is black with pink.

    Getting there.

  14. FO trooper 48" action figure conversion

    Ok so I decided to start a build thread on this. I am building this for my 6 (almost 7) year old daughter. These "battle buddies" were on clearance (and may still be) at Target for $49.

    So after we got it home and played with him it was time to cut and hack it apart.61a67f7903f75c3b498570f35f63c7b5.jpg

    1st thing I did was take apart the blaster which I will use later. A lot of it comes apart but removing the screws.

    Won't be able to use the helmet. It's way too small, so I will order a rubies 2 piece.a41695cb8f4cb54afb5353339b2d2e48.jpg

    I am starting with the forearms. There is quite a bit to gut out.93f64b68bfa19efd9184073c17af720b.jpg

    I did not realize how long it takes to gut out everything inside! One thing I decided to do was line the inside of the forearms and thighs with white craft foam. This will just make it more comfortable to wear for her.

    I then glued inner strips to the forearm using some scrap abs from my TK build and used e600059d7e08bd6f17916144316b0613032cd.jpg65b788abde7393ee5cb3dfdb46a53226.jpg

    That's day 1 and 2. I'm pretty tired already.

    I will say that it seems to be a bit more work than my TK build. For one there is way more to trim and sand. And also the plastic is harder to work with than abs. Anyway the good thing is that I don't have to worry about it passing for any kind of approval except for the approval of my daughter which can be a bit tougher than 501st. Lol

    I will send send you some links to a good thread and reference photos. If you cannot locate any of the pieces, let us know and we can point you in the tight direction. I order stuff about every day.

    Awesome! I'm excited about this build! Can't be that difficult right? I mean not compared to a TK build?

  22. Turning TK into HWT questions

    Hey guyes,<br>

    So I have a TK ANH stunt. I am ordering a DLT-19 and curious about transforming it into a HWT but not sure what needs to be done or added. Of course a Pauldron (orange) <br>

    Dof I have to have the pack? Or is that optional.<br>

    Or is it cool for a TK to just have a pauldron and dlt? Just looks cool.<br>

    Thoughts?
