Jenny: The Iconic Shrimp Boat from Forrest Gump
Project Overview:
Experience the emotional moment from "Forrest Gump" with the "Jenny" shrimp boat model, showcasing the poignant reunion between Forrest and Lieutenant Dan. This detailed LEGO set captures the essence of friendship, resilience, and the spirit of the American South.
Scene Highlights:
- Detailed Shrimp Boat Model: The "Jenny" boat features an accurately designed hull with shrimping gear, representing the heart of Forrest’s shrimping business.
- Dynamic Harbor Setting: The dock scene includes elements like the wooden pier creating an inviting atmosphere for storytelling.
- Mini Figures: The set includes mini figures of Forrest Gump and Lt. Dan in his wheelchair, alongside accessories like iconic props — Forrest's cap and Lt. Dan's military gear — that reflect their unique journeys.
- Emotionally Charged Interaction: The design allows for a re-creation of the touching moment when Forrest spots Lt. Dan on the dock, celebrating their friendship and connection.
- Removable roof: The wheelhouse roof can be taken off to view of the interior. It shows a detailed wheelhouse and a small galley area behind it with cabinets, a chair and table
Why Vote for Jenny?
After my "Goin' South" shrimp boat project reached just over 4,000 votes, during that voting process, I received questions about why I didn’t name the boat "Jenny." I initially thought that "Forrest Gump" was a banned intellectual property, but I recently discovered that it isn’t. With this new understanding, I decided to resubmit it as Jenny and reworked "Goin' South" into "Jenny". I’m excited to give it another shot at reaching 10,000 votes!
This project is a tribute to resilience and camaraderie, capturing a pivotal moment that resonates with audiences. Building "Jenny" will inspire both LEGO enthusiasts and fans of the film to return to this heartfelt scene and celebrate the bond between two extraordinary characters.
The model consits out of 2825 bricks.
Support the "Jenny" project to turn this famous film moment into a LEGO reality, offering a unique blend of nostalgia and creativity for builders of all ages!
