How to mount the scope on the DLT-19x(surfinbird)
TreeHuggerMatt replied to Fulcrum0025's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Weapons
One way around that is to mark the opposite poles with a sharpie and glue one at a time. This was mine -

Repurposing ROTJ Scout to Mando
TreeHuggerMatt replied to TreeHuggerMatt's topic in Scout Trooper: "The Mandalorian" HQ
Found some IPA wipes and tried them on a bit of the helmet that had the rattle can acrylic weathering and it’s been able to remove it with no damage to the white underneath. Plan now is clean all the amour with IPA then if I have to repaint the boots or at worse get a new set which tbh I was thinking about anyway bund has none of it so can just dye that and as luck would have it we don’t have a shortage of teabags in the UK. Who knew lol swmbo even has some earl grey bags. So I might be able to pull this off with out a huge expense as the paint for the mando weathering isn’t expensive and is way to get -

Looking back into this so any blaster scorching etc would have to be removed first then the desert weathering added rather than go over the top? -
Advice needed - back support
TreeHuggerMatt replied to TreeHuggerMatt's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout HQ
It happens also in IRL so amongst other things I’m going to get one of the braces that corrects the alignment by pulling the shoulders back to align it so it ‘ learns ‘ how to be again if that makes sense. it’s just been an issue since I moved up here and had to transition to a desk job in costume I have insoles in the boots which are great but I’m pretty sure now reading your post again that like you say it’s not lined up so pressure on my lower back gets worse. https://amzn.eu/d/d6nJN8f is one I have seen. Thanks MJ -
As many of you will know I’m a wee bit chubby and whilst I am losing weight ( slowly ) I have an issue when tripping with the scout where sometimes my lower back on one side will just start to get really painful, I’ve tried gels and painkillers etc and I bought a back brace which is slim enough to fit under the suit and bund and not cause fitment issues but I wonder if there may be a trick I missed. I know I’m not the only one a wee bit hefty so asking for advice from you awesome lot of you are or know anyone who is and has found something to help. Also amongst better diet and excercise which has helped ( had to shorten the TD belt 👍🏻 ) id like to see what others may have found Hopefully someone can TIA

So it goes like this I’ve had the surfinbird files since they were on thingiverse but didn’t have a printer. As we know the other one bought was smashed in an accident so I bought and started a 20a i always wanted a 19x but forgot I had the files. I was asked by a garrison mate if I had the scope files so i searched , found them and sent Next thing I know I slipped and accidentally printed the files off , bought some 14mm dowel and found some 16mm pipe whooops 😂😂😂

Questions about DLT-19x guidelines
TreeHuggerMatt replied to Aurel's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Weapons
I do as I eventually found his trading cards but when i tried to go via the garrison they won’t / can’t help due to EU data protection laws I did. Originally via the help function as I had an open order when Etsy caused all the trouble. Didn’t know he could do custom orders via Etsy private custom page how did you contact him? -
Surfinbird132 are prob the best one He’s on cults3d

Repurposing ROTJ Scout to Mando
TreeHuggerMatt posted a topic in Scout Trooper: "The Mandalorian" HQ
Looking to repurpose my scouts to Mando for various reasons ,located decent flight suit and neck Seal and will sort paints out at some point and will use the crl and wipe to sort the new weathering . To avoid too much trouble and as im not sure I thought I would ask you fine folks on the best methods(s) to wipe the rattle can misted weathering how I have to be able to then redo it. Looking to redo helmet armour and boots. Given it was black misted I would say it would be best to clear and then restart not go over what I have now yeah? -
Questions about DLT-19x guidelines
TreeHuggerMatt replied to Aurel's topic in ROTJ Biker Scout Weapons
I ordered a blaster from him on the 10th. Have had no communication and now see the shop according to the Etsy site is no longer operating. This is leaving me out of pocket. **update** The help request seems to have noticed them , issue seems to be Etsy wont like anything blaster ( so gun ) shaped to be sold without an orange cap even though its not a requirement in the EU/UK Both mine and two other orders are still being shipped. -

I can second Jorg at Dbay94 i bought both a dlt19 and dlt-20a from him and the communication and product itself ( made in petg ) were excellent -
