DLT-19X Build

[Ctschurman]

Yesterday I received my DLT-19X sniper kit from Tom @ TDK props.

Beautiful kit, quick print and a great opportunity to build a rifle kit start to finish.

I will be assembling this kit mostly with E6000 adhesive and cleaning up these print lines with Smooth-on XTC 3D.

And on top of this I will paint it with mostly Black spray paint and a top coat of graphite powder and Clear coat to seal in the black metal finish.

I am debating on eventually adding a flashing light to the barrel for a blaster effect. Down the line maybe

Here is the kit that came in the mail.

I temporarily dry assembled these parts just to figure out how to assemble these many pieces.

Not too complex but very detailed and accurate build.

I will clamp a few pieces together with E6000 over the next day or two while my other chemicals come in the mail. Mail should be in Wednesday.

I also ordered a scope lense too.

Just got my XTC 3D In. Gonna get a coat on these small bits and try to start with the barrel and work my way to the buttstock. I taped up the small bits so I can brush them on easy and not have any chemical look up or drip

So things have been very busy and I never got around to full documenting my build. I got the base coat of black and the red and silver ring painted on my DLT-19x.

I will be looking to weather and as some dynamic weathering on the barrel. Heat damage possible and metal run and buff on areas of the barrel. Stay tuned.

Well done. I’m gonna check out TDK Props for one of these kits.

Looks cool. Was it hard to assemnle?

No it was fairly simple. The exploded images that he sends you is very helpful. Takes about 5 min with pieces in hand to understand it all
