| Now it was time to paint it. I got out some old acrylic paints, and put down a base coat of gray. I did two coats. |

| I mixed up some green, some silver, and some purple and viola! You've got grenade green. The stand its sitting on is not attached. To put the pin in, I heated up a paper clip with a lighter, then stabbed it through the plastic come like cheap butter. I then yanked it out, used the wind chime piece to roll a decent little ring in one end, then slid the key ring into it. Slide the pin into the hole, and it'll stay until you pull it out intentionally. |

| You'll notice the second grenade I made, the one on the left, is slightly different. The reasons for this are twofold: The original was filled with water, but began to leak through the bottle cap as I built it. I ended up sealing the cap with hot glue. Thus, the weld-looking band where the cap meets the body. The new one I filled with sand. Much easier to work with. Oh- and the lever is different. I didn't have another comb, so I used a random plastic handle. There you have it! Two perfectly working- err... prop grenades! |
