Life Was Like a Box of Chocolates

'Mama always said: Life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'

When I saw the challenge I immediately though about my favourite Movie: Forrest Gump.
One of the most recognizable scenes of the movie are the scenes where Forrest sits on the bench at the bus stop with his belongings and a box of chocolates for Jenny while talking to strangers about his life

With lego I tried to recreate this scene:
-The bench itself was the easiest made with mostly standard building techniques
-The design of the suitcase and box of chocolates are also simple
-The head was definitely the most challenging part of the build (and still needs some attention) I took inspiration from Set 21334: Jazz Quartet
-The body and legs are also really simple
Details:
-The running shoes i tried to recreate
-inside the suitcase theres a medaille (From winning a olympic medal at table tennis) and a note



Thanks for taking the time to look and read about my model
