Small Scale Military Headquarters

Hey yall---got a new custom that only took a hour and a half to do!!!!What we have here is 2 accessories for the M-1 Garand!!!! 1st the M-7 grenade launcher and the M-1 adapter for the MK2 (FRAG) grenade!!!! I made this as one piece out of STYRENE STRIPS and a grenade from a BBI Paratrooper!!! I just glued the grenade to the top of one of the strips and glued a bigger strip to the bottom!!!Then I sanded the bottom of the grenade so it would look that it was down in the adapter and then added 3 small ---ARMS---( the ---arms--- is what holds the grenade to the adapter)!!!!I then painted it O.D. and painted the grenade yellow for 2 reasons---1st-- early in the war MK2s were yellow!!! 2nd-- I thought it looked and it showed up better!!! The M-7 grenade launcher is just a small piece of a strip that I glued to the bayonet lug and painted it Steel #2!!!! I have been wanting to do this one for a while and today I had the chance cause my wife was taken a nap and I couldnt make alot of noisy!!!! Over all a pretty easy custom to do!!!!I hope you enjoy the pics!!!!---RED--- ---[/img]

Very nice!

Very nice. I like it. It would look great in a dio. I think I'll take advantage of this and make one myself whenever I get around to a dio again.

I think I'll paint my red though, the other early 42 color.

Nice and simple,

SWEET!
