paper model of the Taxi from Fifth Element movie. Not finding any kits of this subject except for a rare resin kit that’s long oop, i decided to build this paper version. although it lacks the curves, the roofline required a lot of tabs just to get this basic shape.

I don’t think i’ll be build more paper models. Maybe it’ll inspire me to scratchbuild my own car.
That car doesn’t look like it would be too hard to scratch. No wheels, anyway, which are the hardest things usually in scratching a car. You could use the paper to get drawing for profile and plan views, need something else to come up with sections.
Cool! I thought that was a great movie. My wife named her Miniature Pinscher “Lilu.”
Hey I think it came out looking great…Rich
the real car is a lot more curvy than the paper model
Very good movie and a cool paper model to boot!!
Carving wood allows you to make any curves necessary. Since the windows are very dark, you don’t need a hollow interior, so you could probably carve it from a single block, sawn to profile and planform.
Woow it look great
Thats my model.
Hope you enjoyed it.
Its designed to be a simple one-sheet model with few parts.
Its also very small scale.
And its free.
I also did a model of the Police Car (Hover).
Please keep in mind, this paper model is part of my KoolWheelz Collection. These are meant to be small, simplified and usually stylized versions of the real thing. The whole idea is a one-sheet free download model
using as few parts as possible. Some models are more complicated than others.
Check out the Police (Hover) Cruiser as well!
