Bttf : Pepsi perfect bottle Replica HELP !

[johnylebleu]

Hello,
I'm looking for somebody who could help me to find the mesurements of a screen used bottle and who could give me a sketch of the exact shape of the bottle. I'd like to make some replicas for myself, I know that Gary_weaver 2 has an original prototype of this bottle, so he could maybe help me but I ask to everybody who has any information about the bottle to contact me !
Thanks a lot for your help !

have you done a search for it? I know I've seen at least a couple of people over the years that had screen used props. Try contacting one of them. Good luck.

My set is from Gary and they are cast off his pre-production bottle, which is about 1/8th inch shorter than the screen used. Gary also has a screen used bottle (that he out bid me on :angry).

I am not at liberty to share the size of mine unless Gary says it's OK.

I understand I tried to contact Gary but he doesnt answer. I don't know if he saw my message. So if your are in touch with him could you ask him if he is agree to share information. I know that a lot of owner don't want to share these information but as I said I want to make the most accurate bottle as possible ! I already make vector file of the logo and it's really really close to the real one ! If someone want these logos in vector just ask me ! It's free ! :lol

Screenused bottles are just under 8 5/8" tall.

How much under?

If it's not a breach of National Security.

 

[Kris Lyssara]

I would guess from the rather exact measurement already that it's between 8 1/2" and 8 5/8" tall. And I don't know too many people who would fuss over 1/8", even here.

you must not read some of the helmet threads, lol

 

[Gary Weaver II]

That's a pretty accurate assesment. I didn't put too much effort into getting the number to be honest

Also, depending on if you are doing a wood bottle or a vac formed bottle there is a about a 1/8" difference between the two. They used some of the wood bottles as a buck for the vac form bottles, so there is the additional thickness of the plastic to consider.

After spending as much time and money as I did on these bottles - I completely understand why people are less than willing to share the dims and details of these things. I'm happy to do what I can - to a point.

Hello, thanks for your help ! Did you make a VAC formed bottle ? And I'm actually interested to buy one of your pepsi perfect replica if you still have one !

 

[Onkelpsycho]

Yeah, the measurements are always top secret... More than FBI Files. You can read FBI Files averywhere in the web, but if you want measurements... you need a lot of "BEST" friends or a lot of money...

When I was new to this prop collector society, I was interested in a hoverboard, so I just thought myself "ask someone whos got the screenused board" so I asked Mr. Ketzer... confused:unsure

I've learned something this day...

Believe me, it was not the answer I expect, it was FAR away from something I would expect... :confused



But Im happy for everyone whos willing to help... The a wonderful aspect here in the RPF, someone is always willing to help somehow... :thumbsup

I have some decals available (made by babich years ago) if anyone wants them.

Gary use to sell the best, most accurate but I don't think he sells them anymore.

THere is a person named Tim who sells some from time to time on Ebay under the seller name: BTTF123

I'm actually trying to work on some new sets of bottles now. Solid cast with opening tops. I'll post something in the junkyard when they are ready.

[great1]

That's awesome Gary! I have a empty spot in my detolf that I have been saving for a set of your bottles for awhile now hoping that you would someday do another run.

Very cool. Are they going to be in the $150 to $200 each range?

 

[Gary Weaver II]

Most likely, there is just a ton or time and effort to do them up. I might just ebay the sets to make it fair.

Hm...
Ebay is just a fair chance for those, who have a lot of money, sometimes too much. They are obsessed to get a movie piece of this movie, right now and regardless of which price...

If you want to make it fair, offer a small run in the RPF, or make an interest list...

Hopefully someone will find an easy way to make these bottles someday, maybe more like a real bottle, and for less money...
