5th Element Taxi and Police Car Studio Scale

[Walter]

I recently came into posession of two background sized (9 inch) 5th Element miniatures of the Police Car and the Taxi, I just wanted to see if anyone had some decent photo references to share so I have something to work with.

Also, if anyone knows how I might be able to get a hold of some decals for these, that would be appreciated as well.

Thanks,

Bryan

As far as reference pics go the best option for both are if you can do some screen grabs. I can't do that myself but I'm sure someone here might be able to help. Most of the cars cast for the movie lacked bottom detail. Both of the samples I have needed the bottom plate and exaust tubes added. The other problem with the cop car is there are several details missing on the model that are on the full size set. The cage across the windscreen is missing on the model for one.

The best grabs from the movie for the cop car is just after Leeloo jumps from the building. The cop car turns showing the best view of the rear detail and bottom plate. Then again when the cop cars are lined up and open fire on the cab gives you the best shot of the front thrusters.

For the cab if you have the limited expanded DVD set the extra has a bit on the making of that scene with the larger cab model. As it rolls to block the bullets you get a good view of the bottom detail.

Wish I could help with pics but maybe that will at least point you in the right direction.

Probably a bit late to the conversation, but when I get home I'll try get some screenshots from The Fifth Element DVD (or using a PSP app.; UMD) if no one has got some for you already.

I'll keep you posted.

I appreciate it. I do have some screencaps, I was hopeing that someone might have some studio references of pics of the studio scale model or the full scale taxi.

Thanks for the help.
