Looking forward to seeing your build as the Mountain Trooper is a rare build indeed. The armory team is here if you have any questions.
-
Yep. That’ll work fine.
-
I do. I’ve made one modification since the original install. The original speaker is a 1 or 2 watt speaker that sits in a custom snout piece. I’ve had two of those speaker fail over the years so I bought a 5 watt Speaker and installed it in the back of the bucket recessed in the hump. It’s way louder and has eliminated occasional feedback issues from the mic being close to the original speaker mounted in the snout.

If you’re unable to contact him through Etsy, try reaching out to the German Garrison. I believe he’s a member. @TreeHuggerMatt do you know his full name?

@Aesmodan surfinbird’s model has two different barrel pieces. One with a bipod mount if you’re going for the DLT19 heavy blaster and one without the bipod mount if you’re going for the DLT19X sniper version with scope. Whatever you do don’t go bipod AND scope. That configuration will not pass with your GML. The A1 has a 10” build plate so you should be okay, but you may want to pick up the files first to see if any of the pieces may be too large for your build plate, which would require them to be cut.

Are you looking for files that you can print yourself or are you seeking to buy a printed kit online? If you’re looking to print your own get the following: https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/star-wars-dlt-19x-blaster-mg-34 It’s a great print and you can’t beat the price.

Congrats Scout! Great photos too!

Welcome! For posting pics, the allotment for photos is very small for each member on the forum to help keep operating costs down. Don’t compress the files, as the armory team will be unable to see details if needed. You can use an image hosting site like Imgur or the free Tapatalk app for your smartphone. Here are some additional details on posting pics: https://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23053-faq-how-do-i-post-images/ Looking forward to seeing your progress pics!

Cleaning Tips for your Biker Soft Goods?
Aradun replied to ParaDax's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Soft Parts
If you’re not handwashing it, then yes, turn it inside out, especially if you have Velcro attached to it. -
The forum has very limited allotment per user for uploading pics directly. You’ll need to use an image hosting site like Imgur, or the free Tapatalk app. Additional details on posting pics can be found here: https://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/23053-faq-how-do-i-post-images/

I believe Galactic Armory files comply with current CRL requirements. @MrPoopie ?
-
His DLT19X will clear when properly assembled and painted. It’s a good model.
-
@TheSenate501 Perfect! Well done! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That model would meet the requirements in the CRL for approval, but whether or not it is approved would depend on how you finish the item. You’d need some CA glue or other equivalent to assemble the pieces. Some primer-filler spray paint to prep the pieces for paint. Flat or semi-gloss black spray paint to finish the model and some silver or metallic paint for dry brush weathering. There’s a lot of different ways to finish this, but the above is the most simple for someone new to all of this. Order the DLT19X without the tripod. Don’t order the DLT19X Pro. To meet Legion requirements it either has to have the tripod without the scope (DLT19 version) or the scope and no tripod (DLT19X version). The Pro version isn’t approvable.
-
Correct on both counts. If they cannot accommodate, reach out to DBay94 on Etsy. He’s in the German Garrison and makes an excellent DLT19X. It’s not listed in his Etsy shop, but if you message him, he’ll get you sorted. https://www.etsy.com/shop/Dbay94?ref=shop-header-name&listing_id=631634387&from_page=listing

Okay, here are my photos. The disks measures about 5/8” and you can see the shape in the photo. The charging handle protrudes 2” from the side of the blaster and is 7/8” in diameter. I’ve included a shot of it’s placement so you know where to install it should you elect to get this model. I’d be hesitant to drill a hole myself because the model is not solid and the drill will likely shift in the open spaces of the fill pattern used in the print. If they can do something for you, it’d be better.

I’ll get measurements and photos for you shortly once I leave work.

The original MG34 measured 1219mm so that's the ballpark you want to be in with any 3D print. The model you are looking at isn't approvable due to the issues noted. You could conceivably add the disk and charging handle. The disk isn't flat, like a washer, but has a convex shape to it, though you could probably get by with an appropriately sized washer. The charging handle is another issue and the more difficult of the two. You might be able to get by with an appropriately sized dowel but securing it to the 3D print will be the real technical challenge. Because it protrudes so far out from the body of the blaster it's likely to get knocked off if improperly secured which may damage the blaster. I'm not sure how you'd mount it securely or if it's even possible.

Do you have a link to the seller’s website?
-
Excellent. Good luck with your approval.

For how to get proper measurements check out the tutorial below: https://forum.501stpathfinders.com/topic/19708-biker-scout-boots-tutorial/ For fabric you’ll need white Marine Vinyl similar to this: https://www.joann.com/marine-vinyl/4789087.html

Waaay better fit and overall look! Stellar! Great comparison review too! Thank you for taking the time to do that. It’ll be super helpful to future Patrol Troopers.

Congratulations Trooper! Awesome accomplishment!

Hey Nes! The suit doesn’t require any Velcro to be applied for approval. The only thing that impacts approval is what is visible. How one rigs their costume is really a matter of preference. Some don’t use anything, most use Velcro, a few have used magnets. Your suit is fine as is for approval. However, you may want to add Velcro to keep your bicep, forearm, and knee armor in place while trooping. Details on this can be found in the link I provided in post #4 above. However, I would wait until you have everything in hand and are able to try everything on so that you know if you need Velcro and where it should be placed. That would be one of the final things you do.
