I've been lurking for a couple years and have greatly enjoyed the creativity and maker comradery here on the RPF, and decided it's finally time to post something. I'm becoming interested in replicas of historical artifacts. I realize this might not be exactly what this forum is about, but here is my prop replica of the magnesium box used to carry the fist-sized plutonium "pit" for the Fat Man bomb dropped on Nagasaki. There are only a few reference photos of the original box on Tinian, but they show enough to reverse engineer the main details. Thanks for the inspiration, everyone!
