Hello all, I just wanted to show off a recent project that is actually relative to this board.
As I said in another thread, I had been working on machineing a nice size batch of PR grenades for a few friends and myself. And thanks to the great information I got here about the correct size boxes of 25 and where to get them, I thought it might be neat to load up one for the bigger boxes of grenades for a great breath taking effect. And was passed on the idea that is would be a good way to store them too while I had them. So I decided to convert an older metal ammo box I had lying around and use that for storage and display.

And a close up of the Grenade. I was able to scale off of a copy of a screen used grenade and compared that to the measurements of a real 12 gauge shell so as to get this thing nailed down pretty damn close. And I also scaled a few really great screen caps to double-check everything. I ended up going with a solid static grenade for now and skipped the angled knurled detail to cut down on cost and machine time. But I did go ahead and machine and press fit in what I believe is the correct size primer (brass plug) in the back end so as to not skimp on too much detail and still keep them relatively inexpensive for myself.

Thanks for letting me show off a fun project,
Ken
