I lose little bits constantly, so I’m always working on ways to replace them or mass produce them. What about the tiny 1/35 hand grenades?
Can you buy those? I tried Verlinden, nope. I thought about using sprue to make the cylinder ones(smoke) and trying to cast the regular oval ones. What is every ones [2c]? I lost 2 of each that came with a figure when I moved to college.
Send me an e-mail with your address and I’ll send a couple of dozen your way … what kind do you want … U.S. or German or both.
Well, well, well. There is a Santa Claus afterall. And true enough, he lives in the north. LOL.
Seriously though. I think it is a very kind thing to do Sherm.
You are the best.
US since it is US in Vietnam.
Thanks one more thing off the list.
German potato mashers are simple enough. Different thickeness of sprue…
American pineapples, fimo or sculpey
Modern, sprue and really fine wire for the pins and pull rings.

Hey Santa, how bout sending an unwanted kit my way. I’ve been a very good boy[;)] You’ve even got the build for it sherm. [:-^]Oops did I say that[;)] Since this thread has turned into a grenade how-to, I’ll add my [2c] For german potato masher grenades, the sprue method works good, but make sure that you have the narrow part for the hand hold. (some companies even forget this) For german egg grenades, basically make the modern grenades except with a round bump on top, pin on the bottom, and a big seam around the middle.
Italeri used to have a US Army accessory kit out that contained 1/2 dozen M2 pinapple grenades in it. Don’t know if it’s still readily available. Tamyia’s two accessory kits (US & German) have the appropriate grenades and are currently available.
I bought a german and a us accessory set but there weren’t any. maybe its a different set.?.?
