Not always are the paper models I build based on science fiction. This page collects those models on one page, so that I can still offer them while not invading on the theme of the site too much.
Aside from other model, this page offers several mini RC car bodies. All these were built to fit the chassis of a Shen Qi Wei car. (I'm not advertising the brand, I have nothing to compare it with, it's just what I happen to have available already.) I do believe the chassis size is universal for many brands.
It's important to print them at 100%. Don't shrink them if they don't fit on a page exactly. You won't loose anythin but maybe a bit of white border, and these models are designed to fit tightly.
All of the models listed on this page have one thing in common. They aren't truly finished. All the parts are there, ready to be built into the models, but they don't make the best downloads. There are, for one thing, no instructions. In some cases there are ictures showing the building steps, but these tend to be of poor quality. And sometimes there aren't even pictures at all. Lacking such things, I haven't put them into PDF format either. That being said, read on to see what this page has to offer.
Rubik's Cube
Even those who weren't born yet at the time (i.e. me) know this famous cubeshaped puzzle from the 70's, designed by Rubik. Now you can build one of your own out of paper.
The Rubik's Cube consists of 51 parts, covering 4 sheets. Use sturdy paper, so that the model can handle all the moving parts.

Mini RC Tanks
At some point it seemd like fun to make my own bodies to fit a mini RC car chassis. And, well, it was. In this case, the result was a tank. You get two of them, one with a jungle camouflage deco, and one with a desert yellow color.
One tank consists of 20 parts, covering 1 sheet. Use sturdy paper, so that the model can handle bumps.

Mini RC Trucks
When I was keeping myself busy with mini RC car bodies I was in fact involved with building website to sell actual mini RC cars online. This little truck was to be an extra, something people could order in their own company colors, with their own logo. The plan fell through though, and the site doesn't exist any longer. It's still the theme of one of the trucks you get here though. The other one is for this site.
One truck consists of 4 parts, covering 1 sheet. It's a very easy model. One of the parts is actyally an alternative chassis. Use sturdy paper, so that the model can handle bumps.

Mini RC car accessories: traffic cones
These were meant as a free download on the aforementioned mini RC car website. Now I put them here. The easy to build traffic cones come in two types, plain orange, and striped.
One cone consists of 2 parts, 1 sheet contains 6 of each type.

Lego Man
This model was built for someone who very much into Lego, and wanted to use this in the large setup he was going to have at some show. I never built one afterwards yet, and so never kept one myself. I also never took pictures, so I can't offer any here. All you get is the parts. I'll say here though that there are moving parts. the legs and arms can move at the hips and shoulders, and the head can turn. Knowing that should at least help in identifying some parts.
The Lego Man consists of 43 parts, covering 4 sheets.
