Its Another DL-44!

[newbanZo]

Finished up my DL-44 a couple weeks ago and now that the holidays are over I finally had some time to take some pictures. Denix base with todd's costume kit. I tried to shape my denix a bit to make it more accurate in the usual places, replaced the plastic grips with reproduction wooden ones, and blued it with birch casey perma blue. There are a few issues but overall I'm very happy with how it came out! I also made a quick leather holster for it to round out my luke skywalkerish, han soloish, star warsy belt.

Beautiful job! How'd you do your aging/weathering on the scope mount? I have the exact setup and have been resisting doing anything to it until I have a better idea of how to approach it.

Thanks everyone!

elr02k Here's where I got the grips http://www.e-sarcoinc.com/rg-c96bhmsrgripsearlywstepinframe20lines.aspx
And here's a link to the tutorial I used to fit them http://www.dreadnaught-industries.com/grips.htm

Dminor I sanded off the finish then made a stencil and painted over it with some flat black spray paint. I didn't want it to look to clean, so after it was dry I hit the edges of the paint with some light passes of sandpaper and steel wool and put some light scratches in it. If I went to far I added a bit more paint that I sprayed onto the end of a q-tip.

I'll attach the stencil I made for you or anyone else to use, or improve on. I made it a bit over what it should be on purpose so the smaller details could be added back in by hand and roughed up a bit

Can you take a picture from behind. I like to see how ur grips look after finishing them to fit the denix.

Yeah here you go

I had to file the grips down a bit to fit into the frame and to sit flush. I went a little to hard on the left one, but slowed down a bit on the right side and got a much better fit.
