Afrikakorpsrat64 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 This is a little 2 day project I just finished. I had bought a "Grab bag" of crap, which is what most of it was,lol. And in it was a Dummy (no holes for liner, and no air vents) repro M42 German helmet shell. My first thought, something I have wanted to try for ages! Was to make a table lamp, so fake stick grenade, helmet and old lamp I already had. Here are the results. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davejb Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Nice job mate, Lenny seems to have started something, I might give this a go, but her indoors will need some convincing, especially as I will be using one of her old lamps!!!!!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav352 Posted July 2, 2016 Share Posted July 2, 2016 Looks great @Afrikakorpsrat64. Might look nice with porcelain balls from grenade pull cords instead of the metal balls on the pull switches. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks @Davejb, I have been wanting to do this ever since @Lenny made that ceiling fixture! I used parts from an old lamp I had gotten at the thrift store . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
