Zombie Apocolypse Survival Kit shadowbox

ZOMBIES ZOMBIES every where ! Zombies seem to be the latest fad, whither you believe in them or not there are television shows, movies, games and evn clubs that do Zombie walks.

A couple of months ago I posted a Zombie Survival Kit my son and his father in law created for a friend http://www.instructables.com/id/Zombie-Survival-Kit/ between the time spent and the actual items inside this box would be prohibitively expensive to recreate and attempt to sell so I set about building a less involved but I hope still pretty cool version. I've already started working on another because this one was fun but it is kind of small

Step 1: What's inside

This box is kind of small so I was limited in what I could fit inside, there is a zombie apocalypse survival guide, a 3 step survival sign, a sawed off shot gun, shotgun shells, sticks of dynamite and a large knife

I sent this on Dec 21, but it must have changed the date to San Francisco time.

that sounds cool, hope you do an instructable on it

Yes, I will. I already have a lot of pictures of the building process for an instructable. I'm having a little bit of trouble creating a realistic action for the triggers, I want them to have some resistance and then a sort of click like a real trigger pull. I also have to devise a mechanism for the barrels to be easily locked and unlocked so they can flip open realistically. I would replicate every internal part of the real gun if I could, but I don't have the tools or materials for that.

This is really cool! Always see the Vampire kits, great idea for a Zombie one.

You can never be complacent when there are zombies afoot. Turn you back on one and theyâll eat your brain in a wink of an eye.

This is great! This will be the next gift I make for my boyfriend. He has a survival guide/plan for the (inevitable) zombie apocalypse.

My brother has always wanted one of these since he saw it here: Zombie Survival Kit.

He's been asking me to make one, but I couldn't even think of where to start before now. Thanks!

the 1st one we did had a lot of time put in the box itself and inside things like the pistol was a real steel pellet pistol, a marine kbar knife, a real (defused) grenade even the ammo was real but had the powder removed. This one is a lot cheaper but of course it depends on what you put in it, I had the option of a realistic looking pellet gun but the $30 price was prohibitive. Make your brother one.. lets see what you come up with !
