Hi brothers

Here is the construction of my Dlt-20 from 3DPRINTINGFORGE

https://www.etsy.com/fr/listing/682496366/star-wars-dlt-20-a-dlt-20-a-dlt-20?ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=dlt-20&ref=sr_gallery-1-4&organic_search_click=1&pro=1

I ordered it as a kit.


Regarding delivery, timely and well packaged.

Unpacking:

first opinion, it looks very big. some parts still require cleaning the excess material.

 

The assembly

Parts are difficult to assemble, hole too small and tip too big. But after a large sanding, the parts fit perfectly with a slight tightening (which is good).

Everything is glued to the epoxy glue.

Between some elements, an opening was visible. I filled the hole with a putty paste.

For more safety, I drill a hole along the length of the weapon to introduce an aluminum bar, fix with putty paste.

 

Painting:

Here I used an aerosol filler joint. A layer, a sanding, a layer, a sanding, again and again. Except for the barrel, where I left the printing marks, to keep a machining effect.

I started to put layers of matte black.

 

I still have a few layers of black, and do all the weathering.

The following will come

Do you prefer the aerosol filler over XTC? I imagine the application would be easier.

I confess that I know absolutely nothing about it.

He is a friend who is used to 3D printing, who advise me the products.

Next step, the weathering with tips in friends, warhammer figurine specialist.
I used the painting: Citadel - Bolt Gun Metal.

Only the layer of varnish remains, to protect all this.

And after, go for troop
