Step 2: Start Collecting
Step 1
-Make the Slides, that way they aren't as wet and fragile
-Mix the wood glue and red acrylic paint till a nice Blood color forms.
-Trial and error is the key for the correct amout for the right circle. You have 72 slides and only need 38 so don't be worried if you mess up.
Step 2
- There are 4 screws for each hinge and 4 pin nails for each latch that will need to be removed (I used a knife to pry up the nails). That way you can reposition them so it matches more to the Real thing.

Step 3: Dark Passanger
Step 3
-Add the names. It is easier to do so while its all apart. I chose some names that weren't Tropheys yet still kills from this list:

Step4
-Move the 2 hinges to the rear of the box equally apart and lined up with the joint for smooth operation.
-Only 1 of the latches will be used to more resemble the TV Show.
