Im not sure what cap color to use best, but I don't think you want to use that silver/chrome striping as the movie version appears to have a silver metallic striping
I liked the color FreddyTV used on his Mexican version though

The display case I believe is called DETOLF from ikea. Fairly reasonably priced and good looking display cases. I have two myself at home.

Yeah that's true, prob not a good match.
Maybe FreddyTV can help out here then?

Ha yeah I'm finding that out myself. The wife expected all my BTTF stuff to be "boxed up and put away" after future day.
Not happening. And now I know of those display cabinets, I'm definitely going to be getting one to display my growing collection [emoji2]

Same boat here. Also when I picked up my Detolf shelf at Ikea, the guy behind the register said "I hope you're not planning to put this together by yourself, it's impossible without two people." I looked him in the eye and said, "Challenge accepted."
So yeah, you can build them solo pretty easily.

Sorry if this has been posted. Did anyone see this explanation of the design changes? https://www.inverse.com/article/8312-behind-the-scenes-of-recreating-pepsi-perfect
That's very interesting actually. I haven't seen that article. Thanks for sharing :thumbsup
Do you think a girl with small muscles could handle it solo too?
Definitely! It's only heavy when it's in the box. After that it's just wrangling wobbly sides till you get everything in place.
I would've been less critical of the design if this article ran before the bottle released. Thanks for posting!

I think so.You actually don't need muscles to do it. When they say two persons are needed, I think it's for holding one or two pieces while the other person uses the screwdriver.If you're planning to do it alone, a pile of books, another piece of wood or a backpack will hold the glass together while you're working on the other edge. I've put together 4 by myself and hadno problem.
Picking it up it's another thing... While you're on the store, you'll have no problems once the employees will help you putting it on the trolley but when you get to the car park, help ends. From what I've been told they have orders not to help customers putting things on the cars. So you can put it together by yourself but don't go pick it up alone because the 4 rectangular glasses plus the inside glass shelves the two pieces of wood and the inside metal skeleton do weight a lot
Have fun and let us know how you got along with it

So was it the length of the narrow waist itself or was it the angle from the wide top to the middle waist that was the problem? They could've resized the bottle but kept most of the same look to it by shortening the height and exaggerating the top width and also keeping the same width of the middle waist that they used. Here is a photo I drew on using a photo edit app on my mobile; shortened height, wider top, slight change to the bottom, but the middle waist width was not altered:

They are saying that to make the bottle accurate to the screen used prop, that they would have air flow issues and not be able to make the bottle properly. Umm, I don't know, Coca-Cola doesn't seem to have problems with their bottles and they have a "small waist".
