The ULTIMATE replica grenades

Recommended Posts

Hi all

You will, I'm sure, recall the replica No 36M grenades I made and posted here a few weeks back.

 

Well, after a bit of help from a friend, (he had just the right tool I needed :) ), I have now 'upgraded' them. I have removed the wooden dowel used originally to form the striker column and replaced it with a piece of aluminium rod. I shaped the end on a bench grinder, and cut the groove with a file. I then manufactured the spoons from sheet aluminium, using an original as a template, cut them out with a jigsaw, then bent them into the correct shape. I think this has improved them greatly.

What do you reckon? Not bad for plaster of paris and Humbrol paints! :):)  .

Oh YES, these are looking like the real thing, I dont think anyone could tell the difference until they picked them up, and even then some would have a problem. Ok which one am I getting then????
