Re: ORDER NOW! JNIX + IRIS + DOGGIEDOC Forrest Gump.

Hi Doggie!

I love the fact that you have managed to change both the network and the superior hardware in an exceptional way!
I'm following every post you publish with great curiosity and enthusiasm for this project, being a big fan of the film.
In this regard, I noticed some minor imperfections that must be changed before having the final prototype, if for you it's okay I would like to list them to help you improve them :)


1) Curiose George book.
I saw that to make the book you bought a copy, you took the pages and miniaturized. i have the same version of book, The work is really fantastic and came out well about the quality of printing, the problem is that the book is a reprint version of the 75th anniversary and not the original one (that is the one used by forrest in the film).
the differences are very few, but it’s only one that must be evaluated, and it’s the page where the in film he put in the feather. in the reprinted version the sky is very dark, almost gray. in the original one it is a big blue sky. I think that page have absolutely to be screen accurate

2) Hat Logo
unfortunately there are many online versions, however the one you choose is a replica but it is not the original oneForrest-Gump-Lead-Image-10.jpgIMG_1479.JPGIMG_8372.JPG



3) Bow on the box of chocolates
looking the photos it seems you made 6 "circles", plus the one above that is split, while in the original there are 12 arcs (maybe 13) plus a single circle on top

4) corners of the suitcase
I see with pleasure that you have installed them, but IMHO I believe you can do better if you print them in 3D (as you made with the hardwere). moreover it would seem all more homogeneous, i think the corners also in reality are made of the same material as the hardware

5) chocolate
this is just to understand more than a problem, because it seems that there is a hole (bigger than the hole for the other chocolates) empty, and i've not hunderstood

a small thing that could be changed (not important) is the color of the inner box that contains the chocolates, it should be golden (I also bought this box) not brown

6) ping pong paddle
there is no real referential image, I had not time to look, but the handle of the racket seems really short to me


thanks

Thank you for your input! I always welcome criticism and input to make things as accurate as possible.

Regarding the Curious George book: Good point. When it comes time to do the full sets I will see if we can get the sky bluer.

Regarding the Bubba Gump logo: I'm confused. I don't quite see the differences you are implying. Perhaps the "Shrump Co." lettering is a tad different? The shrimp maybe looks slightly different as well?

Regarding the bow: You make a good point. The bow I have on the chocolates was my first attempt and could definitely and easily be improved. Thank you!

Regarding the suitcase: You again make a good point. I decided to use materials I had to make the corner protectors out of real metal. However they are not perfectly accurate. I will definitely consider 3D modeling and printing the protectors instead so they are more accurate.

Regarding the missing chocolate: The hole is there because "I ate some...". HAHA! I intentionally left one out as if it was eaten. it was just something for a little fun. And if you look at the picture you posted you can see that one chocolate has a bigger, more different shape to it than the others. That's the one I left out. I attached a screen with an arrow to show it.

Regarding the chocolate tray color: Yes, the tray in the chocolates you bought was gold. the tray in the chocolates I bought was dark brown/black. From what I can tell in screens of the movie the tray is not gold. See the attached screen; the internals of the chocolate box appear completely dark, with no yellow/gold color, so I feel the dark color I have used is accurate to the film.

Regarding the paddle
: It may be a tad short but it's a bit late for me to change it now as I have printed about 20 of them for the upcoming sets!
 
Re: ORDER NOW! JNIX + IRIS + DOGGIEDOC Forrest Gump.

I'm glad I helped you, I hope I do not get boring with my comments [emoji4]

in any case, looking at the box of chocolates, I think it would be really nice if then a chocolate was removable, so you can place it in the hand of the figures or put it back in the box (to have it complete)

You are probably right about the box chocolate inside, i said it because i bought one but seeing the screen it’s better black/brown

About the hat logo, the difference are really thin, but there are

look carefully at the shrimp, the shape of the fonts, the colors, some of the shadows, they are a bit different because one is probably a fan’s reproduction

Can i ask you the last thing about the line on the suitcase? Are those definitive? Or will be improved?

It's cool, no worries! I am happy to have help with making sure we make the most accurate reproductions as possible. I welcome it:)

No offense, no problem. Feel free to provide input at any time! As I said I appreciate any help in making sure we get as close to perfect as possible!

Regarding the hat logo: I see what you're talking about. For now I will use the decals I have but there is room for improvement in the final logo!


Regarding the chocolates again: I have been thinking about adding a separate chocolate so Forrest can hold it! I just haven't had time2 to do it ye :).

Regarding the suitcase stripes: Honestly I am still working on those. The method I used to do the prototype was very tedious and not practical for all the sets I will need to do. So I guess I'd say no, they aren't final. I hope I can figure out a way to get them just a tad more accurate.


Thanks again for the input! Everyone is always welcome to provide input:duff:duff:duff. Obviously some things will not be possible at scale but I always try my best to make sure we get as accurate as possible!

Great job man, I’m not in this project. But as a customizer myself I like this type of detailed inputs, and like doggiedoc I always welcome something like this. This what makes 1/6 customizer so fun, we want to get a 1/6 product as accurate as possible.

Right on brother :duff

thanks to both, I'm sure it will come out perfect as a movie screen :hi5:
 
Re: ORDER NOW! JNIX + IRIS + DOGGIEDOC Forrest Gump.

Hey, all, just a quick heads up. I've talked with John and due to logistics I will be opening up a separate sale thread for the Forrest Gump set soon. I am in the process of trying to finish up the remaining prototypes of each item, and I even have a few as of yet unannounced things that will be included to complete the set perfectly.

And as you have probably seen with my photos, while I await some final items I have started on preproduction of as much as possible to try and expedite production of the sets. My 3D printers have been going gangbusters and are putting out just flawless prints of the things I need. however, remember, that there is A TON of handmade fabrication and I am doing everything solo, so after orders go up and are subsequently closed, it will likely be a couple of months to complete production. From the beginning I said there is no specific limit on how many sets I will make, but the number of sets will have an impact on time of production.

I tend NOT to produce and ship as I produce. Instead I like to complete ALL sets and ship out at one time. I will also set a specific deadline for orders to be accepted. Without a deadline I will not know how many of certain items are needed that rely on outside sources (most notably casting of shoes, which I do not do myself).
 
Re: ORDER NOW! JNIX + IRIS + DOGGIEDOC Forrest Gump.

Ok hat is finished! Crest toothpaste is finished!

And I got the resized shoe casts.... tested them on a clothed figure and I think they look great size wise. We're almost there!

So nice!!! Great job ;)
 
Re: ORDER NOW! JNIX + IRIS + DOGGIEDOC Forrest Gump.

Any plans to sell some hats separately or put them up on shapeways?

Hey I wanted to to reply specifically to this again. The hat has been getting a lot of attention as a possible item for OTHER projects outside of Gump. As such I will probably make it available either by putting it on Shapeways or making it available printed directly from me. Let me know what you're thinking!

The set hasn't gone up for sale yet so don't worry you haven't missed out [emoji16].

I expect to put it up for order this week in a new, separate thread, so keep your eyes peeled!
