Ever since I played with my Action Man German Soldier as a kid I was intrigued by the stick grenades Palitoy provided, as seen here on eBay.
All grown up now and not wanting to pay the prices for these albeit superbly made toy? replicas available in eBay and elsewhere.
... I thought I'd experiment and make my own, whilst my Friday morning sausages were frying.
Using a plastic vitamin jar I tried different 'sticks'.
Chair leg.
Bike pump
Different plastic top and wooden pole
Monochrome set
And my personal favourite, with a watering can spout, ready for throwing at my mates back in 1970!
