slave1pilot Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Posted December 1, 2017 Sorry man, we both have been having health issues and all projects are on hold as we try to take care of ourselves. Thanks for your continued patience. ~Nathan Quote
TheSwede[TK] Posted December 1, 2017 Report Posted December 1, 2017 Sorry to hear that, all the best to you guys! Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted December 2, 2017 Report Posted December 2, 2017 Very sorry to hear that. Hope you get healthy soon! Quote
Harbinger[IPM] Posted February 18, 2018 Report Posted February 18, 2018 Last I heard (couple weeks ago) they were still having some real-life stuff to deal with. Quote
bishopx Posted May 15, 2018 Report Posted May 15, 2018 (edited) Hey Guys. Yeah. It's been a rough. We've both been busy. Nathan and I talked a bit and I may just resurrect this on my own. I'm working on the first pull right now. Edited May 15, 2018 by bishopx Quote
bishopx Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Sorry for the quality-lacking photos. I was in a hurry. I'll shoot some new photos tomorrow. A few bits about this new set of molds and castings. Obviously, we are using the same rubber as we have for years. The muzzle cone is molded separately to provide a deeper, more realistic look. The bipod is molded separately, The receiver cover has been molded separately and the charging handle is molded separately. The charging handle is cast with a metal threaded insert. The gun is molded with a threaded post (10-32). This may be reversed in the future but I have to see if this will work or not. Normally, these will be painted black but this particular blaster has been painted a gun metal grey metallic to show better in photos. 2 Quote
Tig70[TK] Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 That is incredible ! Surpasses all others ! get ready to be inundated with orders . well done buddy it's all been worth it. Quote
bishopx Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 I've been asked if these can be weathered. Yes. I will offer that for sure. I'm working on pricing today so please stand by on that question. Quote
Bulldog44[TK] Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Sweet heavens that is beautiful. Great detail captured and love all the separate part features. I know it’s not practical for this type of rubber blaster but wish it was possible to have the main body separate into two parts for transportation or shipping overseas. Quote
Shanester[TK] Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Still in the market for one. Looking forward to this. Quote
bishopx Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Ok. So i've done some time and materials estimating and here's what I've come up with. DOMESTIC: Firm Rubber DLT-19 (black): $485 shipped in the continental US Charging handle will be shipped inside of the box but not assembled on the blaster Firm Rubber DLT-19 (weathered): $510 shipped in the continental US Charging handle will be shipped inside of the box but not assembled on the blaster INTERNATIONAL: As usual, I'm leery of shipping out of the continental US. I have done it on the E-11s but it's always sketchy. IF you are dead set on getting one of these blasters, I will ship to a US address and from there they can ship to you but I'm going to try NOT to ship outside of the continental US. The reason is that IF this gets stopped by customs it's just too expensive of an item to lose as well as replace / refund for the loss. We have had customers purchase and have them shipped to a friend / fellow 501st member and have them forwarded to them from there. That has worked well but please be advised, you will do this at your own risk. If a "loss" happens as a result, I will do my best to discount a replacement for you but no guarantees. Quote
Daetrin[Admin] Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Now I know what to ask for my birthday. Man, these are sweet! What I love best is in addition to the detail is not being afraid to drop it. Quote
bishopx Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah. I'm not sure that I did the wire wrapping correctly but yes, they are droppable. I personally like that the receiver cover is a separate piece glued in place. This allows for the hollow receiver. The charging handle is pretty too. I may in the future do a version that will separate for shipping and travel it's probably going to be a bit cost prohibitive. Who knows... These are available. They will ship on Saturdays and will take 1 week to turn around. I may ship sooner but I want to make sure to give myself enough time to handle any problems that might arise. I've not made these in a while and they are about 4 times the amount of work as they were before when they were just one piece. Quote
DEVOLVER[501st] Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Man, seriously... These are gorgeous. Quote
bishopx Posted May 16, 2018 Report Posted May 16, 2018 Thanks. Actually came out much nicer than I had expected. Quote
bishopx Posted May 18, 2018 Report Posted May 18, 2018 I still have two spots for the DLT-19 first run with weathering included. These will ship next Saturday. Let me know. Quote
slave1pilot Posted October 1, 2018 Author Report Posted October 1, 2018 Just a head’s up so that nobody brings their pitchforks my way...I’ve been out of PB for about a year (take a look at my most recent updates prior to this and you’ll have a rough date)John made The “Official” announcement on Facebook a couple weeks backI havent had contact with him in months so I have no answers for you guys.
