Wired Magazine - Hazmat Suit and Mustard Gas Shell

Nick Meek asked Ferret to research and find the props for an editorial for Wired Magazine, the photographs were for a story about 75mm WW2 mustard gas shell washed up on a beach in South Wales. 
Ferret worked with The Imperial War Museum researching a weapon that was destroyed by MOD in 2009, a similar shell had to be converted and repainted by the armourers Bapty & Co.
Unfortunately, the shoot for Wired didn't go ahead but Nick used the suit to get a great new shot for his book.
