  1. Hey fellow dirty dudes, I have almost finished my Tunisian DLT. As there are already quite a few build threads, I´ll cut it short, I got the templates from my friend bigwam/Thomas, the barrel is a resin cast from a real sterling which I purchased from a 501st member in Spain. The grips are from Latvia, probably the same as Jcalus/Jon has used for his build. Just as bigwam and Heroma I have glued three pieces of wood together and after a lot of sanding it looked like this: I had to cut the front part apart and added an aluminum dowel the dowel, triggerguard and some greeblies that you normally find on the barrel of the original MG34 before spraypainting the wood, I used this to avoid wood shining through as soon as the part gets its first battledammage soaks into the wood and looks like this afterwards, you can also see in the picture that I´ve added a thread which was screwed into the wood for the wooden cocking lever. After painting the barrel gunmetal, I gave it a wash with a thick mixture of water and acrylic brown and black to emulate the bluing: most of it is dabbed of almost immediately after applying it. T-tracks spraypainted black and finally used Rub´n Buff silver leaf to finish it off and give it that used look: added the wire and here´s the (almost) finished product next pic was taken with the flash on, colour looks different and the bluing effect is more noticeable: I´m thinking about adding some rust and finally giving it a wash with some earth colour... or better leave it the way it is? What do you think?

  2. Attention all troopers, Forum cleanup and reorganization is currently underway. While we will be focusing on all areas, we are going to especially clean up the For Sale area. If you have any old for sale threads, please go in and update them. If they are sold, please mark them "sold". We hope by doing this cleanup the forums will be easier to navigate and easier to find what you are looking for. There will be more to come in next month's newsletter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself, @henselmonster, or @dutchy

  3. I'm liking those pouches, they look really nice! Your helmet looks great too and as Hausi said having gaps is screenaccurate. I think that this is going to be a really interesting build! Take your time and I'm sure that with the help from the brothers in Germany you will get a great result. Viel spass und Erfolg!!

  4. As far as the ears are concerned, just remember: gaps are screenaccurate I even had to make that gap larger for SWAT. So don't worry to much about it, show us a picture of your first attempt maybe it's okay and you can use them... RS sometimes takes quite long to ship new parts.

  5. Great start! The pouches look great! Most impressive I feel you on the ears...I always screw them up on every helmet I build. I should probably just order some new ones for my new build, its inevitable
