    Just a head’s up so that nobody brings their pitchforks my way...
    I’ve been out of PB for about a year (take a look at my most recent updates prior to this and you’ll have a rough date)
    John made The “Official” announcement on Facebook a couple weeks back

    Hey gents
    It's been a long time coming and I promise the wait is almost over .
    A few things came up that pushed us back but it's gonna be worth the wait (I hope lol)
    Here's a few pics of the very first casting from the new mold .
    It's just the lower, but we have the last part in silicone as we speak .
    We wanted to improve upon what we had offered years ago and made a few changes :
    1. Separate feed tray cover
    2. Separate muzzle
    3. Charging handle included and will be screwed on
    4. Disc molded in
    5. Ejection port box is molded in
    6. Fins are molded in and have slots for the wire (they will come pre-wired by us)
    7. The selector lever is now present
    Here's a few pics

    Purchasing a Hyperfirm? (check here first)

    Is there updated information on the best place to buy weapons? Been going through friends and word of mouth, most on forums, FB, and etsy. Looking for 19 or 11. 

    You can message Lewis on Facebook (hyperfirm productions I think) if you want a "Hyperfirm" brand

    John and I started making blasters again several months ago and our DLT-19 is just about ready to go.  

    anyway, this is our website. http://praetorianblasters.com/

    I actually met one of the guys who originally pulled molds with Lewis, I think his name is David, and he's with the Southern CA Garrison. I met him at MegaCon in Orlando a few weeks ago, he was working at the Anovus booth. What a cool dude, and so nice! He told me all about my own Hyperfirm :P

    I don't remember any David.
    In days of old it was John, Rob,Lewis and myself.

    Things change and people parted ways. Sci-Fire was no more and Lewis started flying the HFX flag. .


    Lewis worked with Daniel after the dust settled . Perhaps that's who you mean

    First of all, let me start with a huge Thank You to everyone that has already purchased a Blaster from us.
    We are so glad to hear that you are pleased with our work. Keep those reviews and pictures of you trooping with our blasters coming!
    Secondly, let me say that we are still up and running and working hard to bring you guys more options and newer blasters. 
    We have been a bit overworked in our real jobs lately and haven't been able to devote as much time as would like. Hopefully that will let up soon.
    Thirdly, let me give you an update of where we are:
    1.The ANH E-11 (M38 and M19) blasters are still being made and shipped. (albeit at a little slower pace due to work)
    2. We released the Rogue One E-11 and it was well received 
    60F537B6-681C-40CE-B5F3-6915BE86B70C_zps
    We want you to know that we do listen to you guys. We try our best to give you want you want.
    Case in point: the R1 E-11 comes with a metal  D-ring that actually swivels. It also comes with a hollow scope rail. 
    BF0CD2F0-CC1E-49F7-B222-DAA21ACA46AA_zps
    We are very happy with this one.
    And Finally , let me offer an update on the DLT-19. It's being prepped for molding still. 
    I know, it's not as fast as we'd like either. But, it'll be worth the wait. We ask for patience and a little faith lol.

    Thanks again to everyone that has purchased, is purchasing now, or plans to in the future. 
    We couldn't do it without you guys.

    Yes, the DLT19 will come with the t-track and disk molded in.
    The feeder box will be molded into the feeder tray cover (which will be a separate piece for a better product)
    And the charging handle will be included with the blaster, not an optional accessory.

    I'm pretty excited about this new blaster . In the post there were a few things that I never liked and wanted changed . Now, we have the opportunity to make those changes and bring you guys the best DLT19 that we can.

    How's my TD weathering?

    in Weathering

    Posted

    Vandal, you ol' necro-poster you.
    I thought this thread had died in the last 8 years LOL.
    but,to answer your question, no.

    I used acrylic craft paint and just let it dry.
    Yes, sections wear off and I think it looks better when it does. Much more natural than airbrushed weathering IMHO.
    BTW- I think I sold that costume  less than a year later due to some bad financial issues.

    I don't see any reason why we wouldn't at least notch the fins so you can add the wire, or even have the wires on when it ships. I'll have to talk with John about it.

    however, the two wires next to the bipod mount will not be possible as we can't cast it with the holes being open .

     we may have to fudge it a little there or see what else can be done

    We start casting tomorrow. If you are interested but not sure you can swing the cash right now, please sign up on the list anyway. We will try to work with you on timeframe, etc. There is a "Special Instructions" area on the form so just shoot us a note that you are not ready yet but you may be ready around ??/??/????.
