Hi guys. Sorry for the delay but I had A LOT of work lately.
I still owe you a picture of the Gary Weaver's Pepsi Perfect set. I was lucky to get one of the latest Gary's acrylic "perfect" bottles on the bid he did on Christmas. But also, I was even more lucky because I was the one who got the Diet Pepsi and Slice for free on the draw he did on the 11 people that bought him a bottle.
Let me say that it's really cool to have the 3 bottles. Diet Pepsi and Slice are made from some test bottles he had, not acrylic, but they are quite well done, and they look gorgeous when displayed. To me, they're great, and way better than some you can find on the web. About the acrylic Pepsi Perfect bottle: The quality is absolutely amazing, and you can notice it's very well finished and taken care of when you hold it in your hand. It REALLY feels like a "movie studio-level" prop. All seams are polished, the vinyl sticker is perfectly applied... everything is great.
The only con I personally had (things happen) was that the bottle arrived with a very little chip of blue paint removed on the straw. It got stucked in the bubble wrap it came in. Not when unwrapping it, because I saw that chip before removing the bubble wrap, so it happened on shipping transit. It was like 3-4 mm of paint, but the white base coat was visible. Thanks to Gary's help, I managed to get the exact paint he used, and with an airbrush, I gave the straw a little touch of paint, and now the bottle is 100% perfect.
I consider my Pepsi Perfect collection complete, because I also have a Mexican bottle that a friend from there got me, and a USA bottle that I bought on amazon but had to ship to an american relative. He'll come to Spain (my country) this summer, and he will bring the bottle with him

I consider Mexico and Argentina bottles the same. I know there is a slight difference, but I consider my collection complete
So, a couple of photos to show the bottles to you. Sorry for the tone/lighting quality, but I don't have my reflex camera here. Had to do the photos with the cellphone.
