Welcome to my DL-44 blaster journal.
1st and foremost.. a HUGE shout out to deadbolt for his kindness, insight and generosity! He shared his extremely accurate c96 CAD model and allowed me to rebuild it from scratch. It’s taken these DL-44 passion projects to whole new level! Thank you!
The goal has always been to design and then build ALL the dl-44 blaster’s to as close to screen accuracy as one possibly can..
If you’re just joining in on the fun what follows is different ideas, techniques, designs and builds I’ve been apart of over years. These are always a “work in progress” as I’m always improving myself but below there is definitely some good stuff to be found and shared for sure..
Below is direct links to all my builds, mods and beyond. These threads can become very much like a needle in a haystack so to speak. This is my attempt to keep them all neat and organized..
Each link below will lead one to different Designs, Progress, Ideas, Finished Builds and even some Social Media for anyone and everyone to enjoy..
