DLT-19/X Scratchbuild

[Gator_Scout]

While waiting to start on my armor I decided to get back in the prop-making groove with a little project.

 

 

Modifying Happy Trooper's designs I'm going to be building a DLT-19X for my Scout(or Mando, depending on how it turns out.)

 

Does anyone know a good source for T-tracks?

Nice, looking forward to watching your progress

Does anyone know a good source for T-tracks?

 

This doesn't help much, but my Diamond State Props DLT-19 has aluminum t-tracks. They look to be sourced from an existing item, not sure what though.

size would be helpful ..

 

 

also, t track is actually "C" shaped

 

look for t strip

or t molding

 

~ weather stripping

~ rubber molding

~ aluminum (like mentioned above)

 

check at home depot/lowes

look at flooring thresholds(aluminum)

alot of garage doors weather stripping has a "t" to the rubber that tucks into the door .. it could be used(might be expensive route to go)

 

and there are plenty of stores on google that have different sizes/types when you search just t strip

 

 

good luck!

Am looking to aquire a DLT-19X for my Scout Trooper costume. Interested in sources for it.

Found a supplier on Etsy, just search t tracks and they sell in increments of 2, 5, and 10 meters.

Update!

 

 

Still a lot of work but I'm finally starting to see it take shape. I'm going with the top's barrel assembly with the bottom's shorter stock.

 

So much sanding still to go.

looking good!

 

keep us posted on the progress

Update: finished sanding on the stock. Some more shaping on the body then it's on to filling, finishing the barrel, and building the scope.

I'm calling her finished until t-tracks arrive then onto the scope.

 

[762s]

are you going to do the bipod? add a scope?

 

looks good!

[Gator_Scout]

Adding a scope, no bipod
