P3laton3 Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Hi guys,I was looking at my DDs the other day and I noticed that after all the effort to make it look right was still lacking of few bits. The rear sight is one of those..And another bit herethat instead should look like thisSo I managed to get a real rear sight ( quite heavy ) and I made a cast of it in order to play around with it without messing too much with my new precious.Here's the original one and the castMy aim is to get this position look on my DDsAh in case you're wondering where I got the wire position on the t-tracks this is the one of the super clear reference pics of a DLT-19 in ANH ( not the replica one that goes around )Back on track here's the WIP on my DDsDon't mind about the weathering on the sight this is a WIP and still few layers of paints are neededHere below the hole needed to be a bit wider to allocate the small bit on the back of the sightOnce reached the desired height I drilled the sight tooand checked if was working in standing positionOn the DDs ones has to be kept collapsible otherwise the DLT-19 won't be foldable any more.Well just perfect!Then I cut a nylon screw ( using a metal one it might snap the resin cast with the time )And I used to secure the sight in place.And I drowned it in resin filling the hole and keep moving the sight to avoid to lock it in closed position.I'll upload more pics after the next sessionHere instead I started working on the mid section too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
