Picked Up Some Ammo...

Blast from the past:
Photo of an ammo crate similar to one I found

In the process of cleaning out an old workshop, I just happened to uncover several metal ammunition boxes from World War II. The shells are long gone, and none of them are in great condition mind you, but there's definitely some historic value.

Not only do they match the retro look of ammunition boxes found in GoldenEye, but they're a chilling reminder of the war against Hitler and Nazi Germany.

Green "metal" ammo boxes from GoldenEye.
The wooden textured crates were likely designed first,
with some of them rendered green for a military look.

Most of the metal ammo boxes are dark and square, but one of them just happens to be a wide green rectangular box. That very style of munitions crate was also the inspiration behind the green ammo boxes from GoldenEye 007.

(The purple and yellow ammo crates used in Perfect Dark looked horrible. Futuristic? Maybe... Cool looking? Definitely not.)

 Collectors will sometimes buy them for a few hundred bucks, but I just like having 'em because they're freakin' cool.

Maybe I'll clean one of them  up and keep some of my ammo in there...
