andy wood Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 (edited) Well, i dont' t really know where to put this. Do they go into the military bit, but that is for tanks and things, or do they go hear, even though they are real, up until a certain point? 'What the hell is he on about?', you may ask. Basically I have got into 'trooping', aka as 501st Legion, and have a Stormtrooper outfit which I am currently putting through to get authorised. My long term goal is to convert it into a Sandtrooper outfit, which will require BlastTech DLT-19 blaster. Or in real terms an MG34 machine gun, with T section strips on the barrel, a box on the side, and a disc on the left pistol grip. So I have decided to build one from scratch, using plastic tubing, wood and other odds and ends. Here is where we are so far (I am making 2, one for a friend) Edited November 12, 2018 by andy wood 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Rose Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Oh cool, a bit of 1:1 building! Sounds like a fun project I'll be following with interest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommygunn1972 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 (edited) I will be following this post, I have an E-11 blaster by Shepperton design studios but the DLT-19 is my favourite weapon from the films so I will definitely be watching this with interest and might take some inspiration and have a go myself! Its looking good so far by the way. Chris. Edited November 13, 2018 by Tommygunn1972 Poor grammar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niall Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Unless you are a member of a formal reenactment club, making these could fall foul of the Violent Crime Reduction Act, which bans the manufacture, sale or importation of realistic imitation firearms, unless you qualify for 1 of the exemptions.

John_W Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think membership of the 501st Legion would be an exemption. There is some discussion about movie props based on real weapons. Pulse rifles don't require VCRA/UKARA. https://www.fire-support.co.uk/product/snow-wolf-m41a-alien-pulse-rifle-aeg-airsoft-gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy wood Posted November 18, 2018 Author Share Posted November 18, 2018 Here are a couple of photos of some components I have made. They are : pistol grip plate, rear pistol grip mount, triggers, safety catches, and dust covers for ejector chutes. The metal discs are to go on the left grips, and are the first DLT-19 specific item. The trigger was dual purpose. The 'E' stood ' Einzelfeuer' for which meant semi automatic fire, and the D stood for Dauerfeuer , which meant fully automatic fire 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caerbannog Posted December 13, 2018 Share Posted December 13, 2018 Nice - is it from DoopyDoo? I have some resin bits from them for an E-11, which I maybe enter into the Sci-Fi GB next year. René Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 No. Apart from the bipod and rear sights, it is all scratch built. It has come to a halt though as I am waiting for a dry day to do some more sawing outside to make the top feed covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 Sorry for the updates but I have had to wait for fair weather periods during the winter months as I have to use my power sanders outside. Anyway here is where we are now Top feed covers This will make up the sides of the receiver (eg the main body) The first of the DLT specific features Making the butt plate Charging handle (courtesy of a £4.99 torch from argos) Not happy with the grips on the pistol plates, i made new ones with corrugated plasticard instead 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete in Lincs Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Smart work. You could start a production line. Make sure the sights line up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy wood Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 They do. The rear sight, anti aircraft sight mount and the foresight! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kallisti Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 By "line up" do you mean cockeyed so they can't hit a barn door? We are talking Stormtroopers here... 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
