The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch

[Zeus-cat]

A friend printed the nose cone from a file on Thingiverse. He modified it to have a shoulder that fit the BT-60 body tube. I had to make the fins shield shaped and then I used red vinyl to make the crosses. It has a 24mm motor mount, but hasn't flown yet. And yes, it will have a special countdown.

You need a Deus Vult decal set

Bodacious, I say BODACIOUS, son!

[krislhull]

Very cool build!

And yes, it will have a special countdown.

Three is thee number thine shalt count... no more, no less. Two, is not right, unless though proceedeth to three. Four is right out

I dont think I quoted it correctly, but its been awhile since I've seen that movie!

Good luck!

I like looking up these things:

BROTHER: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

MAYNARD: Amen.

ALL: Amen.

ARTHUR: Right! One... two... five!

GALAHAD: Three sir.

ARTHUR: Three!

Nice...this is seriously screaming UPSCALE in my ear.

 

[neil_w]

Oh now that is *fantastic*.

 

[John Kemker]

"Right. One, two, five..."
"Three, sire!"
"Three!"

Nice, except this the Holy RPG of Zeus-cat.

So if you stick an inverted pentagram on it, is it the UnHoly Grenade of Satan?

 

[Mugs914]

Is there a rabbit out in you launch field or something???

 

[Crawf56]

THIS is why God made the internet. Templar shields/fins are a nice touch.

 

[manixFan]

That is simply fantastic. Well done all around.

OMG! Have you not heard of the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog?
Killer Rabbit

 

[Daddyisabar]

I bet you can even sim it. No longer do you need to examine the contents of the rabbit's liver.
Such are the ways of this new thing called Science. Marvelous the things they can do these days. Now back to searching for more lovely filth.

Help help I’m being repressed!

 

[jqavins]

Wonderful concept and well executed.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five"

"Three, sir"​

"Three" <launch>

 

[neil_w]

It's only a model.


(apparently this was too obvious as I missed it the first time around)

 

[RocketRev]

I'm not dead........I think I'll go for a walk.......I feel happy........

or how about: "Tis but a scratch"

or, "They have a basic medical knowledge"

 

[jqavins]

I'm not dead........I think I'll go for a walk.......I feel happy........

I'm not crashed yet! I think I'll go for a launch. I feel flight worthy!!

 

[Tobor]

That is simply AWESOME!!!

Great concept. Well done.

 

[tsmith1315]

One of the sacred relics Brother Maynard carries with him!

I'm jealous.

 

[MALBAR 70]

Excellent work, very creative.


ARTHUR: Consult the book of armaments.

MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

BROTHER: "And Saint Atila raised the hand grenade up on high saying, 'Oh, Lord, bless this thy hand grenade that with it thou mayest blow thy enemies to tiny bits, in thy mercy.' And the Lord did grin, and people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large --"

MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

BROTHER: "And the Lord spake, saying, 'First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then, shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, nor either count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out! Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thou foe, who being naughty in my sight, shall snuff it.'"

This is must build! Got a link for the 3D print file?

Help help I’m being repressed!

"Come and see the violence inherent in the system!"
"Bloody peasant!"
"Oh! What a give-away!"

 

[lakeroadster]

Angels: Ahh, Ahh, Ahh

​

 

[Rschub]

I envision it as shorter and more grenade like. Upscale of course, with a bowling ball for the nose.

My level 3 project keeps changing.....

 

[Glasspack]

I LIKE it !!

All of Monty Python would be proud

 

[sriegel]

Please tell me you'll launch one of these immediately before?

 

[Rschub]

Lol, those ears.

 

[cbrarick]

what if they count to five???
