Syd Mead vehicle to model - kit maybe?!

[Scott Graham]

I've always loved Syd Mead's work. These two vehicle designs have never been made into models or kits, but I'd love to see them made sometime, or make them myself. The NASA VEX one seems most resolved and good for a 1/24 scale subject.

I have a friend who works on 3-D models, and is currently working with on the BR blimp project and has worked with timeslip creations.

I might try to make the NASA VEX one for myself. I'd like the concept to be 4-wheel steering. Maybe rapid proto method. 1/24 scale.

What do you guys think? Good subject? Would anyone else be interested in making a kit?

nice easy geometric shape...
however those scale-y wheels look a nightmare to craft.
you gonna try to provide posable front wheels?
(prob not interested in going with ya...but will enjoy watching you work on it)

Hot Wheels did a die cast of his limousine concept in 1/64, always wanted to see that in 1/25 though.

I think it is an excellent subject for a kit! I would definetly be interested in purchasing a kit...if the price is not too bad.

Great vehicle! Mass Effects vehicles borrowed heavily from Syd's design.

They would also be fun to make.
