A Patreon patron reward for GMJ. They had asked for a 1940s WWII style pinup of Sunset Shimmer leaning against a US Navy 16" armor piercing shell.
For those are wondering the little cap looking fixture on top of the shell is what is often referred as a Armored Piercing Ballastic Cap or APBC which is designed to aid in armor penetration.

Wow Not only this is awesome, adorable, lovely and (kinda) hot, but I must say that Sunset Shimmer looks firm, (very) cute, sexy, pretty, in good shape and (kinda) stunning as well; great work.
Folks around this site call the super-16 the "Nipple Shells" for pretty obvious reasons.
Meanwhile, I being a light-weight history buff recognize them for what they are, Capped Shells.
However your rendition sure drives home the point of the former, rather nicely. xDD

Classy pin up pose and historically accurate ammunition, this is why I enjoy the fandom so much.
Another interesting thing about naval artillery shells is that isn't a cartridge like a small arms bullet. What you see here is what gets lobbed out of the big guns. Instead of a bullet casing containing the gunpowder and primer, the shell is loaded into the breech of the gun with several cylindrical bags of propellent inserted behind it. Not much left behind after it fires.
And in double-checking my information for accuracy I found that they made 16" nuclear artillery shells in the 1950s because of course they did.
