Take a look at Sean McGrath’s DLT-19! Because Sean is in Ireland, not all of the building materials were available at his local home improvement store. Varathane polyurethane in satin finish ToolsĪn Imperial brother from Ireland sent in a few pics of his DLT-19. Rustoleum Painter’s Touch Flat black spray Rustoleum Painter’s Touch ray primer spray ½” #8 machine screws, nuts, and finishing washers used to fill the holes in the shelving brackets $1 Finishing Materials ⅝” or ½” #8 oval head sheet metal screws $1 ⅜” #6-32 round machine screws w/ washers & nuts $1

If you see areas that can be improved, don’t let my build/plans hinder you! Please make your own improvements and build a better blaster! 🙂 You may find other items that are missing/different. I also did not include T-racks along the barrel. I did not include a trigger or gunsights. Because I will be putting some mileage on this weapon, and hauling it around, I did not want parts that would snap off easily. I plan to “troop” with this prop at 501st events. My objective was to build a somewhat accurate and simple DLT-19 using readily available parts and standard hand tools. I took his drawing a step further and drew up my own templates that can be applied to wood, PVC, and plastic sheet. A member on : WizardOfFlight did draw some blueprints of the MG34, which are spectacular. I did have trouble finding templates for this weapon. I am not the first person to scratch build a DLT-19, there have been many before me that have taken on the challenge…and have put out a much better prop. Welcome fellow Imperials! Let’s take a closer look at one of the best looking weapons in the Star Wars universe: the BlasTech DLT-19 Heavy Blaster Rifle! This weapon was based off of the German MG34 machine gun used in the 1930’s and 40’s.
