I then masked off sections to make the "pineapple" effect grenades have to maximize shrapnel on exploding.
I followed this by masking off the bottom section and manipulating the top of the grenade to give the "stem" a better shape, I then smoothed that section to make it look better.
Now, I have started to create the fuse assembly at the top of the grenade, to do this, I began with a cube, manipulated its shape, positioned it to the correct point of the grenade then began to "clip" away unnecessary areas, I ended up with this model.
I then copied the first part of the assembly and began to make the trigger part of the grenade, I used the same shape as the original assembly so that later on it would be easier to line up. I then made the handle part tapered by using mirror tool and shrinking a section of the assembly. I then began to mask off sections that would be kept on the grenade assembly in order to get to the next stage.
I am now at this stage of the model, and the grenade is beginning to take shape. I like the way the assembly has taken shape, and it almost looks like the finished product now.
