Grenade stencilling

[hangarman]

Firstly I would like to than Paul the Grenade for his post and assistance in grenade stencilling. Hope you like it. I like to think of it as a restoration as when I got the body it had been painted gloss green. I removed this paint with meths. This left a battered blue body which I decided to re-stencil.


After the green paint had been removed
oops, it fell over

All this and very little swearing...

There was a lot of walking away though....

Cheers

Very impressed, are sure it was done with stencils, it looks as if it was done with rubber stamps, how the originals were done.

You are correct BMG50 . It was done with rubber stamps. When I think of rubber stamps I picture the stamps teachers use when they mark exercise books.... so I used the word stencils because it sounded better.
Cheers

Nice job, not too perfect, just the way it should be. Congrats.

Stenciling and rubber stamping give two different results. Usually when rubber stamping, the projectile is rolled over the inked stamps that are set out on a block, this includes any bands that have to be applied.
