Parquette[TK] Posted December 13, 2016 Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 What light did you use? I know you said it was scratch built, but that casing is from a real flashlight right? Could you post your full process? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmrhodes13[Staff] Posted December 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2016 (edited) What light did you use? I know you said it was scratch built, but that casing is from a real flashlight right? Could you post your full process? Just bits and pieces I had on hand, I didn't take individual photos as I was in a hurry to make it, only started this morning at 5am and finished it by 8am. Outside casing is a scope from an old plastic toy blaster, side adjuster from an old broken router, end cap is the top from a bottle, piece of tube for the centre, fitted a penlight torch in the front, modified the battery compartment so it would fit inside, added a switch on to the rear cap and made a mount.

Tig70[TK] Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 (edited) Q looks and sounds Great , you're going to get loads of people wanting to play with DLT , and it looks like the DLT from the Rouge One has quite a few difference from the original , apart from the one you've mentioned ,just from the picture you posted ,no front sights or cooling hole on bi pod mounting point ,no wires on t tracks ,different t tracks , mid section has no seam where it should swivel or holding pin no cocking mechanism , on receiver cover it's far more square on top edge , lugs are different shape , no angle bracket on ejector port plate and no plate above ejector port , and no channel for cocking mechanism behind the grip , I'm not criticising it at all for being different but guess it will be classed as a Rouge One DLT and not to be trooped with a Hero or Stunt ?

tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 14, 2016 Report Share Posted December 14, 2016 I like this. I wonder if I have enough time to add a flashlight and carry strap to my DLT-19? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing some detailed screen grabs. With the additions it would definitely be classed as a Rogue One weapon, at least with the mods I've done it's just a case of removing a few screws and it's back to a standard version. It sure was fun trooping with it, a few got a kick out of the working light . Edited December 15, 2016 by gmrhodes13 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkrestonva[TK] Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 A couple of quick mods later with an LED flashlight, a carry strap, a drill, and some hot glue ... and voila! Not so much worried about the small details - for now, this will do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
