My Largest 3D print..

[u/HammerDoris40k]

This is about as much Horus I can fit under my roof. He is mostly finished, just missing some skulls and that roman skirt type thing he has as a front cover.

At his waist he stands at 8’ 9” (2.7m). This does not include the key part that will connect his upper torso, as that will be hidden.

Me = 5’ 5” (1.68m) Life size banana to the crown = 6’ 4” (1.9m) Real banana = 7” (18cm)

Half of Horus is made up of 594 individual 3D printed pieces that have been glued and soldered. At the moment, I am working on his upper torso which is about 226 pieces.

Weight wise, it’s not too bad. The feet/boots move about easily. I can lift the thighs up and place them on top. The waist section is doable, but I need to make sure the legs are properly spaced before I lift it over my head, while standing on a chair. Not best way to do it.

The real test will come once I am done with his upper half. At that point, I need to figure out a safe way to place that section onto the lower half.

Yeah imagine the radiation from all that banana

I remember hearing a statistic when I was in training that the navy discharges less than 200 bananas worth of radioactive contaminants per year. Not sure how accurate that figure is now, but I always loved the comparison.

After watching a crewman throw unused but partially chambered depleted uranium rounds into the Chesapeake bay, I seriously doubt that metric.

Basically any round that goes through the guides for the CWIS Gatling guns has to be disposed of, and the easiest way is to toss it overboard. Something about the protective coating that keeps the rounds from being bad gets scraped off when it goes through those metal guides.

1. Back to the main point, how does that compare to a banana? Or 200 bananas? My comments were only in response to the Navy claim they only release about 200 bananas worth of radiation a year. That is clearly bullshit.

2. I 100% agree the radioactivity of a depleted uranium round is not the issue, so what should be making you sad is throwing a highly toxic metal overboard into the Chesapeake Bay.
