its been a while since i have posted something way back i after making my frag grenade i started on this flame grenade at first i was planning on going with pep so i did my own 3d model and imported it into pepakura and unfolded any everything. i glued it together and resined it but then i started with my M6C/SOCOM and i put it aside. then i came across a site that did 3d printing so i sliced my model in half hollowed it out and cut it into 4 interlockable parts about 2 weeks later they came in. i reinforced the parts with apoxie sculpt since the parts had 0.05 of an inch wall thinkness. i molded everything in mold max 27t and rebound 25. top and bottom are cast in smooth cast 320 and middle is cast in smooth cast 325. the cool thing about smooth cast 325 is that it is clear so i tinted it orange.
so here are some pics of what i got so far but still needs more work

pretty cool, and its lights are really cool. but the grenade must be hot on impact.

Awesome Maybe you could try to make the switch as a spinner like in certain flashlights (turning the bulb part).
