Hey guys I just wanted to share a prop I have recently finished called “The Flesh Eater Tank”. It is a tank of radioactive flesh eating insects I created for a Mad Scientist themed room this coming Halloween (2014).

As you can see, the bugs are exposed to a high concentration of gamma radiation in order to develop their frenzied, flesh eating qualities. The tank is perfectly safe to operate while wearing a 6” thick lead smock but is not recommended for infants, children, pregnant women, the elderly, people with pace makers, those prone to psychotic episodes or anyone with piercings or dental fillings.

Thank you for checking it out!

Pretty cool prop.

 

[Atomic Mystery Monster]

Great job! I love the detailing (and how you managed to find a spooky use for Hexbugs).

 

[vampyrespro]

Wow, that's fantastic! Excellent work on the patina, and those bugs do like lifelike!

 

[Hallomarine]

That is very cool - well thought out, well executed.

Totally outside the box for creativity. This is one of those props that comes along once in a great while. New and fresh, well planned out and perfectly done.

 

[DaveintheGrave]

Wow, that is WILD! I've never seen anything like that before. Great work!

Is that those little vibrating bugs, like Radio shack sells? Looks awesome.

Outstanding! I don't know if it's more creepy with the light on or off....and the detailing on the box is perfect. Great job!!

Totally outside the box for creativity

Isn't most of this prop inside a box?

Bugs- do tell. Very cool!

 

[MC HauntDreams]

Fabulous!!! I threw one of those tanks away. Kicking myself now.

Thanks so much for all the feedback guys!!

For those wondering about the bugs they are “Hex Bugs Nano” that you can find at Target, Walmart, Toy's R' Us, etc. and for this prop they were painted black and I added the UV reactive eyes and hair on their backs.

They are actually really crafty toys for being just vibrating bugs. They can find their way around obstacles, self correct and flip themselves back up if they fall over.

Thanks for checking it out!!

Went nuts when I saw this prop of Dead with Dave. What fantastic ideas!!!

 

[Trex]

Love this idea, I may have to try something like this for our Lab! Really nice job!

 

[Gym Whourlfeld]

You can't fool ME! I know those are real radioactive killer bugs from outer space!
Ttheir motion really makes the whole thing come alive, VERY NICE!
