Hey all like I said im new to the forums. Just want to post my wips of one of my current projects the H3 Frag Granade.
I first sculpted it out of clay and then made the first molds of it. I just pull the first cast of it today. I still have alot of clean up
to do before I make a new molds of it. Then I will clean and paint. It comes in two peices (top/bottom).
here are the pics.

Here it is taken apart. I have it so you can screw it in.

Here is the clay version. Its a bit worse for wear after pulling the molds.

Hope you like.
 
That does look awesome. Nice job. I've been thinking of doing one of these lately but I think it wouldn't turn out this clean.

Any plans on casting to sell?

where is the pin?
Are you serious? MC NEVER pulls a pin there is a red button on the top. He would have to put his gun down to pull a pin.

That looks AWESOME!!! I may be looking for you to buy two in a couple of months. PM me the prices?

Hey thanks guys. Im pretty happy with it at this stage, but I still have alot of work and cleanup to do before I make new cleaner molds and then paint I'd say about a week.

@Ruze789: Thanks and sure I'd sell them if theres enough interest when I finish it.

@bevbor: Thanks I actually made the ring myself on my CNC mill. Its made from a solid peice of stainless steel round stock. I made my wife a matching one, but smaller of course.
The design is to match my real wedding ring which is white gold with diamonds. They are what we call our beater rings. So we dont mess up our real ones. The funny thing is I get
more compliments on this one then my real one. :rolleyes

this are just awesome. one thing you should consider is hollowing out the spot where the read ignition btton is on the grade, putting a piece of clear red plastic there (That can compress like a real button) then put a red LED behin it that turns on when pressed. LOOKS AMAZING SO FAR!
 
I completly agree and this is somthing that I have been thinking about. What im not sure about is where the button is. Is it the red LED that is also the button? Or does the head of the granade push down to light the LED? I was under the impression that the head pushes down, but the LED button would be easier. I have never seen any video of the cheif ativating the nade. Any thought on this? Anyone?
