Hausi´s Heavy Metal Bapty DLT


Recommended Posts

Following in the footsteps of Jcalus (Jon) and Bigwam (Thomas), I wanted to have my own Bapty DLT built using original parts. 

I was lucky to source an original MG 34 cooling jacket, bipod and flashhider. 

I´ve build my own wooden back part on my first Bapty DLT, but unfortunately was too busy last month to do that again (as it is quite a lot of work and very messy:sweat:) ...fortunately I have a good friend who has already quite a lot of experience building these part and he has again done a terrific job on mine, couldn´t be happier, thanks a lot, Martin (Heroma)!

I have some replica grips from Latvia too, but dropped one of them and a part broke off... but as it only adds to the used look of the Bapty, I didn´t bother too much and used it anyway.

As this build actually uses the same approach as those by Jon and Thomas, I will not include any pics of the building process but only of the finished Blaster.

So this is what it is supposed to look like:

And here it is:

Also added the little wire around the triggerguard:

Here are some comparison shots with my other Bapty DLT, which has a resin front end, the detail and look of the real thing is just so much more satisfying.:yes:

Although I still haven´t checked the weight of this thing, I can tell you that it´s pretty heavy as  I took it for a two day troop. :sweat: It was a good feeling! But now my arms are aching. Nice thing is to know that it´s almost indestructible, no worries. 

I´m the second trooper from the left.

Have to admit that I had to take some brakes and just put it on the ground, still looks cool though:D

Well, you can at least see it in the pics where I'm giving my best trying to carry it around. :sweat:

I'm sorry that the detail pics are all gone, I've been using different picture hosting sites and most of them have let me down. I might re-post them again when I find the time.
