FIVE Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Great job brother!!! My usual question... does anyone see anything that is a "deployment stopper?!" (And, just FYI, I do not...) The only thing I questioned was the tube stripes looked "big" in the lenses close-up, but they number the right amount (within the parameters) and look good in all the other pics, so I think they're good.

TD7930 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 thanks! the tubestripes may appear a bit "bigger" after the weathering. They got " involuntary black outlines"..i saw, what you meant, Nol. Seems, they need a little q-tip-cleaning around the stripes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Looks great to me!! No deployment stoppers on this side. Two suggestions though: 1. You could use your belt pouch a bit lower. 2. You could add some velcro to your kidney plate and to the back of your belt to keep it in place Great TD bro! Congrats! Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 looks like this is a decent shot of the conical disk.....not perfect but you can see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD7930 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 here...i shot it again for you: Unfortunatlely the doopydoos-gun is not "ready to go"..and the work on the ammo-cover-box is still in progress. I hope this is no "deployment-stopper"? Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Much better pic than my cropped and brightened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonator Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 I'm afraid the ammo-cover-box is required for deployment. But hey you are already 99% there so don't let that 1% stop you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon is right, it is. But, I'd say the box is only .05%... so do it to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD2298 Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Awesome weathering! That's an awesome dlt-19. I guess you're living in the land where they were created, so you should have a nice one, right? Lol. I was stationed in Stuttgart for a year and a half back in 2005. I loved being in Germany. I took the (if I remember right) 3 hour drive to Munich and loved it. I checked out the Eagles nest and the salt mine down the road. Very beautiful area! I actually still have family in Karlsruh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD7930 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 aaawwww ...... ok.. I have a few days off and i will do it tomorrow! The box comes out on the left side.. am i right? I got some very good reference pics from a German TK. I´ll try to do it like him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD7930 Posted July 28, 2010 Author Share Posted July 28, 2010 @ TD2298 yes, you are right! I live in the land with the bad history and the origin of many Sandtrooper´s Props I was in a store here in Munich where they sell real (unmilitarized) MG-34´s. They really look nice!!! And i asked the owner to give it to me, just to hold it. Man, that thing is heavy!! About 13 Kilos. So you realize really quick, what the bipod and the name MG (MaschinenGewehr) what stands for "heavy Rifle" is meant for. Maybe i can take a picture with it, when I am there for the next time. As you know, weapons are strictly forbidden here in Germany and i hoped not to get visited by the cops, when i was painting and weathering my gun on my balcony. A few people looked a bit confused.A TK-friend told me, they are allowed to take your gun away,(exempt authorised events) cause it´s a "lookalike-weapon" and looks realistic. It would be a great "honour" for me as a prop-builder..so i know, i did everything right, but i want to have my DLT a little longer with me I´ll try to get my ammo-cover-box finished tomorrow...

Hey Mike, That stinks to hear about the strict laws over there. I remember all of the rules that I had to follow when I was there as a visitor, I can only imagine all of laws that a citizen such as yourself has to follow. I hope they don't take your DLT. Would you be able to explain and show them your armor if the Polizei tried to take it from you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bountyone Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Looks good, the pack photos look a little dark but other than what the others said, looks good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted July 28, 2010 Share Posted July 28, 2010 Now thats one nice sandtrooper. Looks good to go from here (not 100% if you need, to have a pouch on each side of your hips). Congrats and welcome on board Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Ya, Id say once your ammo box cover is installed you should be set to go.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theGreatSot Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Looking very good! It looks like the only thing stopping you is your ammo box on the left of your DLT-19. Awesome work on your TD, Mike! You really look the part! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD7930 Posted July 29, 2010 Author Share Posted July 29, 2010 OK LADIES.... today i spent half of my day with thinking about HOW i´d make my missing ammo cover-box. Finally i got an idea and just did it, before it got dark outside... So here is the missing thing: some prop-building-romance ..now you see, why i should be a bit careful by showing my gun too obviously and the freak who did it all: for those, who said I should get Pouches on both sides.. i DO have them an can put them on everytime i want: Thank you for watching and good advices! I hope, thats all to get deployed! Cheers, Mike "TD-7930" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
