Blog 2 - Grenade

Grenade

My grenades story is that it was a standerd frag grenade, made in bulck for world war 2. It was a grenade made for the allies and was meant to be used very early on in one of the many battles, but was never used. Instead it had been carried around in an ammunition crate for all of the last 2 years of the war and even when the crate had been open it was still never picked up. Over the 2 years, the grenade had seen a lot of damage, from being moved from place to place, being nuged by other weaponry and mud to name some things.

As it was used for the allies, made at the begining of the war and never used, the look is specific to when it would have been made so the picture above shows a timeline of different grenade shells that were used and as my grenade is supposed to be very old and made at the begining of the war, i will be using the first grenade that is on the picture which is what i wanted to have it like anyway.


This picture gives a rough idea of what i want my grenade to look like, apart from the colour. It even shows the tag missing which is another part i will have in my grenade model, though the shape of mine may be slightly tweaked to make it bigger.

Noteable Parts

Mud Splatters
Scratches across the casing
The pin has been reomved but was not set off for some reason, most likely faulty.
The colour from the grenade is slowly degrading in some parts.
