You did a really great job man! Thank you for posting this. I am planning on making some short films and I might just make a few of these.

Thanks guys. Yeh, this is a relatively easy build. Not a lot of tiny detail to deal with. And if it didn't need to break down, it would have been even easier
Well, the best I can do is show this image. Often, I have to figure out things as I'm working, and therefore there will be no part drawn out beforehand. This part was cut from 3 layers 3/8" thick sintra. They were taped together then cut to the overall shape on a scroll saw. I then pulled them apart and cut just the outer layers, leaving the inner piece to act as the pivot point. On the other side, I did the opposite, so the inner pieces would inset into each other. Then, I glued the layers together, fit the hinge part together and drilled a hole through both for a wooden dowel pin. Hope this helps
Re: M79 Grenade Launcher - Scratchbuilt WIP
Just a short post to let all know that, I made every grenade in the pictures in the above post. You can visit my homesite here: Replica Sales if you want to check out some other work. I also made the 40MM replicas being used in the new T5 movie. GROG
