That's very kind of you to notice those details. I worked really hard on the
fuze and it's great to hear a compliment.

I did cheat on the body of the grenade. I wasn't able to maintain the vertical
indented portions around the neck because the bumpy part is a height_field and
therefore hollow and can't have anything differenced from it. My original plan
was to continue the height_field all the way up to where the cone-shaped top
starts in order to maintain the indents, but that didn't work out. But like
you're suggesting, it does look good with realistic texturing.
