Nice built. I Think its from the Paperdiorama-Site:
No, it's not that version, but I like that one too!! Thanks for the link - not heard of it before......

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.

Recently-completed, the 'Wet Nellie' amphibious Lotus from the 1977 James Bond film. The kit is from My Little Paper Vehicles.

Just completed, a free download from the Minimodel Catalogue
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.
The base is from cardboard and sand.

Completed!!
I also made a broom handle for Trigger......
-
I am highlighting the rear light clusters with Tamiya translucent red and orange paints. I also made an exhaust from wire.....
-
I added two reflective craft items to resemble headlamps and highlighted the front indicators with Tamiya translucent orange paint.....
I made a base for it, and a street sign.....
-
Painted and weathered.

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!!
-
I removed the inner sections of the four-piece roof rack and coloured the edges black. The mounting points on the roof were opened up with the point of my scalpel blade and the pieces inserted (glued from underneath the roof).
-
I thickened up the wheels with cardboard.
I also added strengtheners to the inside.
-
This is a model the of the van used in the television series 'Only Fools and Horses'. It is available from My Little Paper Vehicles via Instagram. I re-scaled it to 1/50.
Scored and folded, with edges coloured.
-
A very basic, but charming, model that was given free with issue 55 of Marabout Junior, in 1962.
I coloured the headlamps with translucent yellow and thickened the wheels with card (painted). I made the base from cardboard and a print-out if block paving.

Hello Armando,
very well done, the enhancements surely paid off!
Do you still have the download link?
KInd regardshttps://www.deviantart.com/roc…hip-Paper-Model-381206643
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.

Recently-completed..... I added layering to the wood panels and rear light clusters, and did the headlights with translucent glass paint.
-
-
Completed!!
-
Chassis glued to bodyshell.....
Windscreen wiper made from plastic rod (painted an aluminium colour) and attached.....
-
wheels now assembled.
-
I shortened the tyres as the wheels are small and don't really need central reinforcement. I rolled them before joining.
-
The wheels and tyres are now cut out - this took a steady hand, patience, and (for the wheels) sharp scissors. I edge-coloured in black.
Now to assemble.....
-
Rear light clusters and front indicators attached.....
I'll gloss varnish the body shell before attaching to the chassis (easier to hold). I will also add a front windscreen wiper after varnish.
-
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.
-
I used the edge of the cutting board and a blunt scalpel to re-score along the inside of the folds.....
Folded and glued body shell, with some touching-in of the edges.....
-
Progress has been halted, temporarily.....
-
I carefully cut out the body...... And scored along the fold lines......
-
I started with the three-piece chassis......
I darkened the black areas with a Sharpie......
-
This is my first attempt at building one of the cute little Minimodel kits. I will do some detailing on this one. Attached is some background I found on the internet.

Another droid has rolled off the assembly line. This one is an insect-machine hybrid.....
-
Recently-completed, from the 1948 kit. I built it as standard, with the addition of buffers (plastic rod and paper), scenic coal, and glazing to the cab windows (with UHU clear glue).
I made the base from scrap wood, card, sand and scenic grass.

Here are some photos of my recently-completed model.
Available as a free download from Landships, it went together reasonably-well. The wheels were monotonous and a bit difficult to built. I made the support railings from fusewire and applied the usual weathering.
-
The kit, and some photos......
-
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 👍🏻
