Nathan’s organ repossession box is a modified Plano Flipsider Base Station.
We have no production photos of the original prop so all information is our best attempt to recreate the prop from screen captures.
The first thing you need to do is remove all of the internal storage. Carefully remove the transparent orange door and pry out the three flip down storage compartments. Use a dremel to remove the wall dividing the main compartment from where the flip storage previously was.
The door is painted a mustard yellow. Acrylic works well for this but will scratch off over time it not handled with care.
There are 2 bio hazard labels and 1 oblong GeneCo Logo applied to the front
In the film the top handle has been replaces with a suitcase handle. You can take the handle off luggage found at a thrift store or most craft supply stores sell handles in the jewelry section.
Distress the box by applying browns, blacks and red paints. Grind the paint into the fibers and play with different thicknesses and mixtures of paint. The box is both blood spattered and dirty.
The inside of the box glows so you will need to purchase a strip of LED light from your local automotive supply store. You will also need a battery pack, wire, batteries and a switch from your local electronics store like Radio Shack. This task requires a minimal amount of soldering skill
There is no specific best way to install the wires and switch. Think about what you are going to be putting in the box and where the electronics will be most protected
You can recreate the fog effect during a show by having a thermos of warm water and dry ice to mix together just before who ordered pizza
