This is far and away the best reason to steal office supplies from work.

Get yourself a copy of Adobe Reader 4.0 or higher.
Get out some glue (No sniffing, just yet.) and a pair of scissors.
Download some .pdf files from the websites listed below.
Get to the company printer (should be color) and load up the really nice, heavy expensive paper.
Print out the aforementioned .pdf files
Go back to your desk
Proceed to waste hours of compnay time building a Ferarri F1 race car in your cubicle.

Have fun, and if you get fired, blame yourselves. You could then begin to sniff the glue you stole earlier. You shouldn't have been browsing PT.com at work anyways.


Here you go, the most complete list of buildable paper cars. anything from a 1960's Mustang, to a 2003 Ferarri F1 race car.

Have fun boys and girls.

I'd wad one of those things up into a tiny little ball half way thru the process. Can you just picture me trying to fit the little tab into the little slot while trying to keep the other little tabs in place?

:banghead: :hammer: :hand: :seizure: :rolleyes5 :crying: :screwy:

I'm sure somebody makes a paper model kit of a 1st gen Camaro. Tyler would you possibly be able to offer a body kit for that? I used to make a lot of this stuff myself from scratch when I was a kid!

A poor mans welder? As I have tried in vain to get some caliper brackets laser cut, thickness being the challenge, perhaps a laser cut flat pattern from some .005 thick steel with the fold locations etched on the part for these origami cars. Then you can do custom paint.
