Photo's of my Glasmine 43 and the Sprengkorper 28 block i made for it. I think it turned out pretty good. Started with a wooden block, cut to the right size. Could not find a fuze well to put in, so what I used was a 10m 1 nut. I drilled a hole and set the nut in. When the paper and label covers it you don't know it is just a nut in there. Covered block with brown paper, applied label, which I made up from photo's, then painted it with melted bee's wax.

I have the original glass for the top, but it was so fragile, that I stored it for safe keeping. Used a very thin 1/32" piece of clear plastic to replace it.

In all I think it looks good.DSC_0482.jpgDSC_0483.jpgDSC_0484.jpgDSC_0485.jpgDSC_0486.jpgDSC_0487.jpgDSC_0488.jpg
