Scale detail model of LS

[paulownian]

Does anyone have a detail scale model of the LS? I would like to borrow, rent, whatever, long enough to do some photo work. If anyone who is coming to Carlisle can help, just bring it along and I can have it back to you before you leave. This is a great project. If all works out as planned, I'll post some great photos in the forum.

I've never seen or heard of a scale model of the LS. There's been some talk on other forums about making one or having a company make them, but to date I don't think its been done.

Wow, that looks NOTHING like an LS.

I too have been looking and have had no luck. Let me know if you guys find something.

Maybe the scale model manufacturers over in whatever, third world, emerging economy, :q:q:q:q hole of a country, haven't figured out that there is a market for scale models of a beautifully craft vehicle like the LS - at least I haven't found the source, yet. Help me keep looking, though, if you would. This project is worth the trouble. I got the idea from the still photographer who did the recent Lexus and Saturn commercial work. He was shooting with a 7X17 view camera, while I intend to to use a 4X5. The effects will be greateven with the smaller format. After I shoot the car the way I want, I will try to photoshop in different owner's vehicles if I have the right angle and size photo of them. As I mentioned, it is an extreme experiement in photography that should yield great results.

actually - it really does. a member of the LLSOC built a replica of the OLOA LS - re-created the decals and all.

He took photos of the car that could almost be mistaken for the real thing.

I tried to buy the body and I can't find it anywhere, not even on the link! I tried Tower hobbies, they didn't have it, I googled it, nobody had it! Anybody know where?

...then why haven't one of the american companies made one yet either??
Obviously there isn't that much of a market for it or else companies would be all over it already. This has nothing to do with what country originates them.

I thought about getting a parma body for my 1/10 scale nitro r/c but I have yet to do it.

 

[paulownian]

What American model company would that be?

^^ Hot Wheels....Ertl...Spec cast....first gear..etc... What kind of die-are you talking here? There are many, many kinds of them as well as many, many brands.

i think it would be really neat if Jada Toy the makers of the Dub City die cast cars were to make a LS car.

Bad News For The Ls

I Talked To Ford, Then Ford's Collectors Catalog, And Then To Fords Catalog Producer, And Then To A Guy Named Chris, The Sales Guy For The Company That Makes All Lincoln/ford Diecast Models. He Told Me, There Was Never One Made, Because They Didnt Think The Market Was Big Enough. I Asked How Many I Would Have To Buy In Order For Them To Produce One And He Said Probably In The Range Of 50,000 Units. Got Dam!!!! Anybody Else Have Any Suggestions. Oh Yeah, I Forgot. If Anyone Decides To Make One, They Have To Go Through The Red Tape Of Getting A License From Lincoln. Im Going To Try To Get Ahold Of Some Ford Designers, They Had To Have Had A Plastic Or Wood Mold Of The Ls. Maybe I'll Just Carve My Own.

Yeah, I agree. They make one for the Cadillac CTS but no LS Must be a bigger market for those.
