T-tracks and wire on. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Hello all. I'm currently working on my roadblock Capt V2 for swat and saw Felice's tread with the pic from Ian havenhand. I need a dlt for my trooper, and right away thought that this one would be such a cool build. I had a dlt from plastic empire and decided to use the barrel from that, then use the rest as my template. I unfortunately didn't take much for pics at first... got a little too into it.. but here it what I have so far. The trigger was made from leather so it wouldn't be fragile. A bolt to connect's the halves together which hold well, but to keep it from spinning loose I needed to add some sort of switch. I noticed that the mg 34 had something like this already on left side, so I cleaned it out and replaced it with a broken file that is held in place with a magnet and can slide. I got a hold of a 3d printed bi-pod but needed/wanted to reinforce it. Had some zebra wood kicking around so I used that. To hold it in place I layer some more wood with another rare earth magnet and drilled a hole to receive a bolt ( with it head cut off ) that was screwed into the barrel. It holds great! To help with transport, the side cocking bar was done like the body to barrel connection. Still have some touch ups and t-tracks/wire to do, but pretty happy with how it's coming along Any tips or advice is always welcome. Thanks. Jon. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I hear ya. I'm thinning mine down too.. good luck with deployment! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

It's great to see you putting in such effort, That's awesome! But, does your ab stay centered if you only add to one side?? I had to add shims myself, and added equally to both sides of the kidney. Keep it square, would be my advice. And keep up the solid work! Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Hi Steve If you haven't already, trooperbay has a good weathering video using fullers earth on Youtube. Keep up the good work, I'm sure you'll be deployed soon. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Thanks Felice. I definitely followed your builds and appreciate the advice. I'm sure there will be another build. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

I've always gone flat black with a paint brush to get the small details like that. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

This is my first bapty and thought I'd share a few pics of the build and finished blaster. Started with a doopydoos and some epoxy putty. Then cut the barrel and ammo port. Let the wood extend in a bit to give more surface area to glue. Used the barrel as my sanding block to match the curve. Used pins to secure all my small pieces. But screws for the ammo mag port and handle. Primed, silver, then some dabs of e-6000 to simulate paint chips, the flat black. Was happy with how the glue worked. The scope was painted brass then flat black. I used 450 grit sandpaper to weather and when the paper got clogged up with paint dust I used it to polish the paint and it gave it a nice worn smooth look. Did the same sandpaper trick to the blaster with the addition of rubbing in some graphite powder everywhere except the t-rails. I painted those mat black . The counter had a brass under coat then I used a semi gloss black over top to try and give a variety different black shades through out the blaster. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out and am really looking forward to taking it out on my next troop. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Thank you all for all your tips and advice! And thank you Charlie for that canteen kit and speedy radio delivery. You do great work! It's been a grand journey and with hopes of swat future, it's far from over.. karrimor totem packs are not easy to find!..lol. Thanks again all, hope to run into some off you at troops and events. Jon , TD84414 officer.. Looks great to read.. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Got my radio kit and now finished the changes to the radio and filter as required. I also changed the scratch built canteen to a crashman kit. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Congrats! Gute arbeit Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Rebuilt filter... radio is on its way. Build pic, old vs new pic, placement pic. The old one was 3" expanded pvc with 3/8" - .9mm dowles. And the new one is 3" water line ( which in 1/4" less total diameter than pvc) and 5/16" - .6mm dowles. I definitely think it's looks better, Thanks for the advice!

OK , I have a couple days off work so I'll do a filter rebuild. Thanks for the heads up Felix. Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk

Thanks! I found a thread with those dimensions, so that will be the next project. Haha ..there seems to always be a next project..
