The final stage of the piston was to to produce the bolts. I decided as these were not a set model for the group that I would produce a basic shape. I did want to produce a model that resembled a screw thread on it, but after alot of thinking I decided against it as I couldnt find a suitable way of producing such a model.
The main bolt was produced by extruding the centre of a cylinder twice. Even though the thread is now ridged, we can add a smoothing material at a later stage to produce a better effect.
The 2nd bolt used the same technique but instead pushed the centre of the bolt inwards.
