The Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series Foam Replica may be the lightest 70 Series ever. A group built a full-size replica of the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series out of styrofoam, which is meant to keep things safe while shipping.
Here are some things you need to know about crafting the 70 Series Foam Replica built from scratch using styrofoam:
- Behind the splendid appearance of every detail on a 2024 Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series lies an astonishing, unexpected source of creativity. A team of skilled artisans led by sculptor Masumi Yamaguchi has recreated the utmost realism in an entirely new model, a foam-made masterpiece.
- From colossal foam blocks, the journey of crafting the model began. Firstly, artisans crafted major components like the car body and wheels, which were a meticulous and highly technical endeavor.
- Following the creation of the major parts, finesse, and meticulous attention were poured into every contour and every detail. Each aspect was meticulously carved and refined, from the LED headlights to the most minor details, like the wiper lever and tire treads.
- Painting the foam model posed a significant challenge. The foam surface differs entirely from the materials on the actual vehicle, making achieving authenticity exceedingly difficult. Nonetheless, with an artistic spirit, the artisan team meticulously layered each coat of paint, producing a dazzling finish that makes it difficult for viewers to discern the model from the actual car.
- Creating an intricately detailed Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series model demands patience, skill, and a passion for art. These skilled artisans turned their ideas into reality, crafting not just a model car but an inspirational art piece.
- Masumi Yamaguchi and the team’s 1:1 foam replica of the Land Cruiser 70 Series isn’t merely a car model but a symbol of the power of creativity and artisanal spirit.
The land cruiser car has no engine or electronics besides lights, but the finished product can move when pushed.
