I am not sure the Resin would make your life easier - most of the kits need a lot of work to complete. If you measure out the steps and time spent, it is a big commitment.
Buying a completed piece means it can hit your belt and you are ready to go, no major clean up work needed. Of course, the Parks greneade needs to be painted, but there is no clean up work involved. Heck, if you want really weathered, you can let the grenade rust and clear coat it once you get the desired effect.
Just please, weigh out all the options before you do anything. You would be happier in the end if you get exactly what you want

I'll be happy to show you pictures as soon as I can get it done...or at leat is some stages...I have the parts, but I need to get my padawan's saber done before I start any others.... I can tell you about the emmitter. I have a flashlight, with a large bulb holder and an broken Hasbro Darth Vadar saber (1996). I have taken the lamp holder from the Vader saber for the neck pice that holds the emiter, and the large flashlight lamp as the emmiter. I will have to agree with Ani-Chay Pinn, a candle holder would be excellent, as a matter of fact I may replace the bulb holder with it when I get there. Also, if you only need it for looks (not taking any real damage), you could use a wooden candle holder head for a craft store...you might could even find the neck and emmiter together if you find one the right shape. Then just a little paint will do. Of course, if it is just for show, I could also recommend using a new Hasbro Obi saber...just take the blade off and use chrome paint to cover the "silver" colored plastic. And a little gold or brass paint for the accents. The toy and the paint would run you under $20. In my area anyway. I hope this helps
