DLT-19 Rogue One Upgrades

[gmrhodes13[Staff]]

Hand built this DLT-19 from scratch while waiting for my first set of armor to arrive, seems so long ago, build here http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/21614-dlt-19-build-still-waiting-and/page-1

 

Couple of upgrades for a Rogue One appearance, carry strap, scratch built working light and an external amp jack to run to the Aker amp, got to be loud, those cinemas get noisy

What light did you use? I know you said it was scratch built, but that casing is from a real flashlight right?

Could you post your full process?

Just bits and pieces I had on hand, I didn't take individual photos as I was in a hurry to make it, only started this morning at 5am and finished it by 8am. Outside casing is a scope from an old plastic toy blaster, side adjuster from an old broken router, end cap is the top from a bottle, piece of tube for the centre, fitted a penlight torch in the front, modified the battery compartment so it would fit inside, added a switch on to the rear cap and made a mount.

Q looks and sounds Great , you're going to get loads of people wanting to play with DLT , and it looks like the DLT from the Rouge One has quite a few difference from the original , apart from the one you've mentioned ,just from the picture you posted ,no front sights or cooling hole on bi pod mounting point ,no wires on t tracks ,different t tracks , mid section has no seam where it should swivel or holding pin no cocking mechanism , on receiver cover it's far more square on top edge , lugs are different shape , no angle bracket on ejector port plate and no plate above ejector port , and no channel for cocking mechanism behind the grip , I'm not criticising it at all for being different but guess it will be classed as a Rouge One DLT and not to be trooped with a Hero or Stunt ?

I like this.

 

I wonder if I have enough time to add a flashlight and carry strap to my DLT-19?

Actually if you have a look from the other side it does have a sight it's just on an angle not directly on top

 

 

As to a lot of the smaller details I'll have to wait and see as I don't trust the Hot Toys figures for fine detail. Looking forward to seeing some detailed screen grabs.

 

With the additions it would definitely be classed as a Rogue One weapon, at least with the mods I've done it's just a case of removing a few screws and it's back to a standard version.

 

It sure was fun trooping with it, a few got a kick out of the working light .

A couple of quick mods later with an LED flashlight, a carry strap, a drill, and some hot glue ... and voila! Not so much worried about the small details - for now, this will do.
