  5. Screen used DLT-19 pics

    in General Weapons Discussion

    Posted

    Well duh me...

     

    I did find this link in the DLT-19 specific thread. If you scroll past the pics of a MG-34 on the rocks, there are 3 or 4 detail pics of what looks like a screen used DLT. If not, it is a very realistic replica.

    The pics are great but only cover a small portion of the DLT. I am basically trying to see exactly how weathered the DLT's were in the movie or on the "Death Star" (DS). My TK is a Hero version and I want to basically model it off of Han's armour on the DS. I'm thinking the DS DLT's would be newer looking with only minor wear as they are used in a relatively pristine battle station :)

    The ones used by the ME Sandtroopers would in my mind be much more worn and grungy.

     

    This may be nit picky but I find it intriguing as a gun guy:

     

    When you actually start looking at detailed shots of  MG-34's (as in the link) it is very interesting the huge variations of metallic / grey / metallic grey / black / silver / worn black shades on one gun and it's various components. 

     

    I'm wondering if the MG-34's that were converted to DLT's (or actual sterlings converted to E-11's) basically had SW greeblies attached with no other refinishing, or were they also spray panted black so they looked new after conversion.

     

    Anywho...

     

    Onto the rest of the sanding from my 3D printedblaster. God....the sanding......:56pullhair:

    OMFG!!!!

    YAY!!!!! :dancing-trooper::cantinabandf:

     

    I see I already have my tab!

     

    Thank you so much for your time and patience Sha. I truly appreciate your help. And thanks to Glen again. He rocks as usual.

     

    I will address all the final corrections you mentioned to make Mannie (my TK mannequin nickname) be as close to 100% as possible. Thankfully most of the fixes are easy.

     

    As an aside note. Does anyone know?:

    a) How many Centurion TK's  there are

    b) Where we can get high res Centurion and EI banner pics. My wife wants to make some decals for my case.

     

    Thanks again.

     

    You made my week!!

     

    Cheers

  14. Screen used DLT-19 pics

    in General Weapons Discussion

    Hey all,

     

    I'm building my 3Dprops DLT-19 and am searching for pics of the screen used ones.

     

    The only pics I can find are screen grabs from the Death Star security office where they are on the rack, or Han / Chewie holding it.

     

    There are tons of detail pics from various online sources of screen used E-11's from , but none that I can find of DLT's.

     

    Can anyone help a TK brother?

     

    Cheers

    Hey !

     

    Pics of the forearms lower edge:

    I understand the confusion in my pics, but what I think you are seeing is a rounded top edge, not a return edge.

    I've attached a handy dandy cross section diagram of what the forearms look like. The forearm narrows slightly from top to bottom. The "angled in is just exaggerated in my diagram.

    Make sense?

    Please let me know if there is anything else, and thanks again for looking.
