Jumanji Game Board Replica by VM

[VladMartin]

Hi everyone!

Sorry guys that I've not been posting for so long. I had to pause my Jumanji project due to not having time for this (for over three years, omg, told you I’m very slow So now I’m trying to revive the project and due to this occasion I decide to share my Jumanji plans with you.

The plans are based on measurements of director’s carry board, the board at ExpoSyFy and tons of 1995 movie shots and prop photos. I carefully recreated text and ornament frame of the rules plates. To do this I found font (two actually) that I think was inspiration for the one on the plates and used these fonts as reference to draw vector versions of the rules. The fonts I used are Weiss Antiqua (1928) and True Golden (1993) if you interested). So you can use my rules vectors for screen printing. You also can use leaves from the plans as reference for I drew every single leaf at exactly same place and in same shape they were in the original hero board.

I’m sure it’s most accurate plans among other I saw on the Internet. So I hope you’ll find it useful for your projects.

Wow, those plans are great! Looks like I have to rework the edge teeth on my 3D model. I wasn't sure if the topmost triangles are actually protruding from the edge... looks like they are.

And I guess any deviations from Audrey2's plans are just the differences in the different production props used in the film.

The edge teeth are actually not just decoration. They work as some sort of locking mechanism and must connect to each other when the box closed. So top of the teeth need to be a little bit higher then edge of the walls.

And I guess any deviations from Audrey2's plans are just the differences in the different production props used in the film.

In fact most movie props are identical concerning their measurements. The only big difference I found is the hinge location. On the foam director's carry board hinges are closer to centre of the wall, but on the wooden hero board the hinges much closer to the edges. So in my plans I used hero board version, because... well it's hero board))

Your depiction of the teeth makes sense, as these would now fit into each other perfectly. I would think that this kind of locking mechanism would prevent the lids from skewing, although with hinges like that, that probably wouldn't happen either way.

I found out this teeth locking stuff on Milano Woodworks website (studio that made hero board box). So it makes this an official depiction I think)

I am pretty shore that is mm. I who'd like to see one made in cm, 3 by 4 meter Jumanji board is something to build.

Oh ! Great idea. Lifesize Jumanji board where the tokens are actually People.

Yeah. Dimensions in my plans are all in mm.

 

[Fitzdizzel48]

Okay that's what I figured just wasn't sure bc I found plans on Google that were in cm. So I was getting confused. But this seems more legitimate than those. Although those weren't far off.

Soooo, I think it's time for some updates

Started making lids carving recently with sculptural clay. I made line art of original carving for this to have more clear edges to work with.

Progress so far

 

[VladMartin]

Another update. The part with the leaves almost done. For now I intentionally do not make small details, such as veins on the leaves, only the basic forms. This way makes it easier to sculpt.

This is amazing looking already. Very jealous of the people with the skills to do this. My attempt would look like a bad Wallace and Gromit remake.
