Nicked from buysellcortina. Here's something to keep you quiet during OMGSNOWCHAOS. Just add PVA Glue and Scissors. You might have to zoom out a bit to get the whole thing

Theres a few different versions. Looks actually quite good when done! This guy's put a load of effort in

That's pretty good! I think the flaps (ooh-err) are missing from the Mk4 though, the yellow bits on the '80 which hold it all together.

That is just the utter height of quality!

Murilee Martin (of Down at the Junkyard and Impala Hell fame) recently posted this on facebook, which appears to include some designs for Saabs, Volvos and Citroens, amongst others.

 

Disclaimer: I haven't tried to build any yet, I plan to print some at my 'rents house tomorrow.

Aye lads, there's a website for the whole lot..a Cortina to a Death Star. You can even design your own etc :P

That made-up MkV Cortina/Taunus looks great - but it's a lot more complicated than those templates, I fear...

 

I made myself a cardboard BX one bored Sunday back in about 1991 just before I bought a real one. It was quite a bit of work and looked untidy round the edges - and the cardboard one wasn't much better :wink:

That's ace ! I remember them from when I was a kid they did fiesta too was available in the showrooms with brochures

If I made one,it would look like a authentic shitemobile held together with tape !

The finished one looks excellent. Even the coke bottle lines are there, just about. What has he done for the wheels? Theyre not cardboard cut-outs.

Pop bottle tops? ala bluepeter.

.... I always had a hankering for a red Favorit.

 

Don't suppose I'll get one now. :wink:

 

:idea: don't suppose anyone would like to see a RAPID?

There was a thread on this a couple of years ago I think. If you do a google image search for 'paper car model' and the name of a car you can find just about anything.

I might try some of these one day but mine will look nothing like that Cortina!

 

Here's one I might try:

My step dad has one, there's a possibility that it may have to go in the next year or so.
