This is a model of the car which starred in the 1977 supernatural film starring James Brolin, about an evil car.
From My Little Paper Vehicles, I added hubcaps and widened the wheels. The actual vehicle was based on a Lincoln 'Continental' MkIII, customised by George Barris (who designed the Batmobile from the 1966 TV series).

Columbo is one of my favourite TV detectives. This model is from My Little Paper Vehicles and I printed it in 1/50.
I weathered it, as Columbo's car was always appeared worse-for-wear. I also did the headlights and rear light clusters with Tamiya translucent paint, and added hubcaps and clear craft crystals for front indicators.

I re-scaled it to (approximately) 1/50. I added the waterslide decals (from my spares box) after gloss varnishing the model. I sealed the decals with a further coat of matt varnish.
Additions include: the rear exhaust, rear mud flaps, wider wheels, hubcaps, and front spotlights.
To fit on the roof rack, I decided to make a suitcase that Del Boy would probably carry around.
Three pieces of cardboard, two strips of paper and a piece of staple.
I also made a card box and filled it with scale coal - the coal is merely to fill it, as I wanted to cover it with a tarpaulin. The tarpaulin is a piece of tissue, stuck over it with dilute PVA.
I will paint these two pieces.
I used to own three Scimtars!! A 1968 SE4, a 1972 SE5 and a 1978 SE6.
Ha! Yes, Robert..... I remember this episode!!

If that doesn't work, I'll send you the file......
Recently-completed, this free download required a lot of effort to make it work.
The interior was strengthened with a cardboard skeletal structure. The fuselage was layered with panels. The rear engine, airlock and radiators were highlighted with aluminium and gold foils. I added forward lights on the fuselage and warning lights on Bomb No. 20. I plug-moulded a clear acetate observation dome and added the Talby character (printed/reduced photo). I added hidden magnets to enable the bomb to be attached/detached (coupled by the metal rod).
The scoutship features in the 1974 John Carpenter film Dark Star. It's a cult classic comedy sci-fi film. Dan O'Bannon also worked and starred in it, prior to his Alien movies.
There is a difference in length between the body shell and chassis.....
But then I realised that the chassis should bend upwards at the front and rear, so it's okay.
Because the kit has a second version (the 'Easy Version'), I was able to use the rear light clusters and front indicators from it to use for layering.
The front lights are meant to be 'sunk' into the bodywork, so no need to layer them.
Just completed this model. It wasn't easy 😮. It's a makeshift armoured car of the Spanish Anarchist group 'Columna Durruti', dating from the late 1930s.
The kit is designed by Alexandr Bondar, and is available as a free download from Landships.
I weathered it and added the machine gun. A spray coat of matt varnish seals everything.
Here is my recently-completed model of the Leduc 022, in a tiny 1/300 scale. It is available from the download section of
I added the pitot tube, browned the engine, and highlighted the Plexiglass canopy with translucent blue paint. A coat of satin varnish protects it.
I show it alongside my Fairey Delta FD2, in the same scale.
When you built up the fuselage, are the cardboard formers/bulkheads part of the kit or do you have to transfer from plan to cardboard?
Thanks 👍🏻
