Prop ideas (with reference if available)

[ID10T]

So, I'm a bit of a space buff. As such I'm always interested in finding interesting "real" props to replicate for my space collection.

I have this photo and I thought it would be a really cool prop to make, but it's too big for my available space at the moment... So, I'm posting it here. I then though a thread where ideas for props could be shared, even if you don't plan to make that prop, as others may be interested in it...

Go!

This is the box used to transport and present Apollo moon samples to NASA for analysis...

Good idea; that box shouldn't be too difficult to make; text might be a challenge

Looks like basically a 1960's chest cooler, painted white, maybe with different hinges.

With stencils, you should be able to re-create the markings on top.

That's the idea!

Anyone have anything else another member might want to make?

(I'm currently working on one of these)

What about the soil sample tube.
There was a thread on it a few years ago.

I’ve never seen that before…

Could also be a cool flashlight conversion.
