Fun with resin

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

With the crappy weather I took to doing something I've been wanting to for a while, casting some of the items to fill the Fox and carrier bins. Each vehicle needs 6 No.36 Mills bombs, originals now nearing $300 each, and 12 signal cartridges. I can't even find singles much less sets of 12 in the right red/white/green colours. Making them in resin also eliminates having to worry about real ordnance out in public.

First off, three resin/wood Mills bombs on the left and three originals on the right. Then the Fox grenade bins full for the first time since I've owned it. Next the signal cartridges under construction. The tubes are $2 Princess Auto plastic broom handles cut to length and wrapped in colour printed sleeves. The bases are cast resin from the single original I managed to find.
