Skull Grenade / Skull Grenade ( For Professionals )

💀 Skull Grenade / Skull Grenade – Desk Toy & Painting Project

This Skull Grenade is the perfect blend of tactical gear and dark fantasy! Whether you're looking for a cool gadget for your desk, a prop for your next cosplay, or a detailed template to improve your painting skills – this model delivers.

The design seamlessly combines a highly detailed skull, transitioning into a rib cage and spine, with the classic shape of a hand grenade.

🎨 Painting Inspiration (Airbrush & Dry Brush)

As you can see in the pictures, this model looks absolutely stunning when painted! To achieve the look from the preview:

1. Prime the model in a dark gray or bone white.
2. Airbrush the grenade body in a matte olive green (Olive Drab) and the skull or bones in an ivory/off-white tone.
3. Use a wash (e.g., Citadel Agrax Earthshade or Army Painter Strong Tone) for the bone areas to highlight the deep cracks and details with extreme plasticity.
4. Dry brush the bones with a light cream tone so that the edges really stand out beautifully.
5. Add weathering effects (rust, metallic scratches) to the safety pin and the lever to give it the final, realistic touch!

🖨️ Recommended Print Settings

This model was designed to be clean and yet for professionals who know their printer! For the best results, I recommend the following settings:

• Layer Height: 0.12mm to 0.16mm (highly recommended to bring out the fine details on the skull and rib cage perfectly).
• Infill: 10% - 15% (Gyroid is ideal for stability without wasting filament).
• Support (Support Structure): Yes. Tree supports are needed for the grenade lever, the ring, and the lower parts of the rib cage. Tree supports are highly recommended as they are easier to remove without damaging the delicate spine.
• Wall Layers (Wall Loops): 3 (ensures that the thin bone structures are printed stably and robustly).
