I figured so. Hopefully I can get my hands on some in the future to test them out

We almost need a definitive FOOTWEAR Tube Bag thread to really nail every aspect of this very popular prop.
Over the years, there has been several card board tube bags, but the grail was the limited (to 6?) Jovan bag and possibly the 3 made by Aaron Waud.
I don't believe anyone has done a full fiberglass version before and certainly no one has vacuum formed one, so we are both really pushing the limits of what can be done here.

Small update:
So basically just waiting to finish the mold for the end cone so hopefully will have it done and able to make casts by the end of this week
Also found some matte clear cast acrylic to use for the “window” on each end.
Sorry for not much of an update. Once I finish the mold for the cone there will be a better update next time

Update:
Finally got around to finishing the end nozzle mold. Im not the best mold maker so its not the best mold so Ill have to practice getting decent casts from it.
I first tried using smooth cast 65d but it just came out way to heavy so then I tried epoxacoat filled with foam it 3 and it came out way better but still needs improvement
Did a quick mock up but I finally have a complete nike footwear bag! Still need to tweak things here and there and do some clean up but we are in the home stretch!
Hopefully ill get it all fitted together and maybe I can do a video and me opening and closing the bag to see how it will work so stay tuned!

Ive added them because I saw some replica bags that has them there. I cant remember if its on the bag in the movie but I thought it looked cool

There are small bumps on the screen used one.

In high rez close up, these bumps are small and yellow. Almost like 3mm LEDs had been glued in from the inside panel.
Maybe it is time for that dedicated thread.
Have you thought about perhaps making the end caps thinner or is this more of an "inspired by" bag?
They could be anything really. But i think what would look best would be the ends of pins you put in a cork board.

I guess I could but ive intended to update the build to make it more a accurate replica of the bag

Thats a pretty good guess. I do realize mine are too big so I plan on changing it later

Got around to mounting the end nozzles to the main body to see how it would function and it still needs a bit of work. Its not a practical design for a bag as its quite difficult to open and close in general. It also wants to buckle and twist on me but I have some ideas on how to fix that like reinforcing the main body from warping and figuring out a way better solution to mount the end nozzles.
Im also casting more parts for more bags as now im afraid of ruining the prototype so making sure I have extras

Looking really good. I did notice how the lids slide a bit along the length. This is why I came up with the runner system I'll build into mine. It means the lids can't move in that direction and would still work even if an end cap falls off.
