this time... involving NUKES!
Background
1st Device: the "Nuclear Trigger"
Significantly, there would be two new components mounted onto the left of the main assembly. The first (depicted below) was a cast aluminium bath tub drain wrench, that integrated nicely with the existing design. To add texture, a short piece of dishwasher drain house was fitted over the shaft of the wrench. The finishing touch, would be another complex aluminum component that would fit around the former (more on that later).

2nd Device: the "Nuclear Bomb"
to form a complete "nuclear bomb". The "seed-object" selected for this purpose, came from another vendor's rental stock (Phoenix 1 International). It featured a control panel with operational indicators that would be used in the final configuration. Omitted however, was an usable patch panel component, as well as the original case. This process was conducted with some care, as everything would have to be restored to its original condition, prior to being returned to the rental house.
