My M433 40mm cutaway

She's a work in progress, but here she is so far:

Here is the copper disc I molded and reproduced to make one for the cut-away:

The real one is on the bottom left, molded copy on the top left, and cut-away beside those. I didn't want to ruin a real copper disc, so I molded the real one for use in this and other cut-aways. I managed to pick up the 433 projectile rather cheap, with another one. This one had an ogive that was crimped crooked from the factory, so it was an easy decision on which one to put "under the knife". As you can see, I have a few more parts to add. I was thinking of painting the frag ball interior a flat red, and leaving out the HE filler so one could view the frag pattern. Thanks all, GROG
