Subject: [urq] Audi Museum miniatures


A bit ago some one posted about Audi Design's recent installation in the Munich 
museum.  For those not up on the very slow list traffic the last few months, 
much of the info can be seen here http://www.designboom.com/technology/audi-design-wall-installation-at-pinakothek-der-moderne/   
with plenty more info available at the touch of a Google search.
Because I have not recently beaten my forehead flat against the wall, I thought 
I might inquire, though not sure where, of the powers that be, if any of these 
minis might be made available for semi public consumption, i.e. us.  I figured 
since CAD CAM programs are made, and the tooling exists, why not try and 
persuade Audi to expand the production run for the torch carrying, knuckle 
busters among us.  While there has not been a lot, OK any, support in the 
obsolete parts department I've never seen a complaint that accused Audi of not 
knowing how to make a buck.
In that vein can we possibly gauge what sort of organic  interest there might be 
from the list, and Heaven help me, possibly at what price point? 
 I'm pretty sure I'd faint to see what Audi wrote off as the cost for each 
billet miniature and I doubt I'd consider even a fraction of that for one of my 
own, but maybe a plastic one?  With the program these would also be pretty easy 
to 3DP should we be able to get Audi of the mind.  So what say you?
Mike
