Hello, all...

I don't get a chance to log in & post here too often anymore, (I visit, but usually in short duration), but do still keep pretty busy with makin' stuff.

Anyhoo...

This is the most recent bit I've made & added to our collection:

https://www.facebook.com/MuseumOfFictionalArtifacts/videos/1094874737326647/


I've got a handful of other posts about makin' the grenade & the chest, but that's the finished product.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share...

uggh.. too bad you posted a link to FB...

*(not really clear WHY you would make a post here, a prop forum.. only to link somewhere else?)

I wanted to see the pics/project.

Well, I used to be on here fairly regularly but - due to some personal difficulties - I was absent for quite a while & came back to find all the photos from my projects gone.

So, I post mostly to the FB page these days & for this particular project, I wanted to share with the folks on the forum where my interest really blossomed.

I'm not selling anything or trying to draw folks away...I just wanted to share.

My apologies for the frustration.

Guess I'll just go back to lurking.

I generally am not a fan of FB for stuff like this, but I like the "cleanliness" of your feed on there. Liked and followed! Love the idea of a museum of fictional artifacts.

Thanks. I'll try to post pics here too, as I'm able.

I took the last video of the finished product & spooled some images out of it...

Are you including the instructions on how to use it?

The 'instructions' have been hanging on the wall of the 'Museum' for years. In fact, I think I got the pages from paper props on here, but I'm not certain.

I thought these were the instructions:

"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, neither 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 thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it"

Indeed.

There's a post that has the pages in their 'ancient' form in paper props, too...

It's funny, I made the grenade & thought I was done...but could never quite get used to it sitting out by itself. I wound up spending probably 3x as long working on the CHEST for the grenade as I did on the grenade itself.

...that being said, I made 5 of the grenades & gave the other 4 as gifts over the holidays, so I suppose it evens out.
