Oh Lord bless this thy hand grenade... (Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch)

[bigbisont]

Been slacking off in my non-Aliens props. I figured it was finally time to diversify my displays a bit and add the long desired "Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch".

My goal was the create the most screen accurate grenade I could, and I am not unhappy with the results, but I can't help but feel like this is version 1.0. I think I will try again later. I feel like some parts were over-done and some not taken far enough. Anyways, for now this is what i came up with!

"Final" for now...

i've said this before i'm sure but wasn't the original made from a coconut?

 

[OBI WAN KEN0B1]

AWESOME I need to make one now

 

[Protoss]

Great work! I love it! :love :thumbsup

Sorry, maybe I'm totally wrong, but isn't there a little gem on top of the pearl missing? :confused

Fantastic! This has been a project on my to do list for a while. I have a friend who is a priest, and fan of Monty Python who would get a kick if I made him one.

And how would this coconut have found it's way to Antioch, and then England...?

flown over by a pair of African swallows of course.........

Using a strand of tree bark tied under the dorsal guidance feathers no doubt.

 

[Soulinertia]

We must consult the Book of Armaments to find the answer!

The awesome that is this thread is making my Monty Python!
