This papercraft armored truck is intended to be used in superhero miniature gaming scenarios (The supervillians need something to rob, don't they? ^^) The scale of the truck is roughly 1:48 (or O Scale or 32mm, depending on which scale notation you choose), so it is the right size for both the Heroclix and Marvel Heroscape gaming systems. The template comes with optional opening doors for the rear of the truck and may be downloaded at the Heroscapers.com forum here.

Considered by many to be the French counterpart of the German Volkswagen Beetle, the Citroen 2CV had a production run from 1948 till 1990. On the left is the standard 2CV and on the right is the "camoinette" or small truck version. Both of these apparently hand drawn paper models are the creation of Swiss art professor Christof Schelbert. To download the templates click on the photos here.

Ah, taco trucks... those stereotypical catering trucks where the side opens up to reveal a food counter where anything from hot dogs to tacos might be sold. Goopymart has created eight different cartoonish papercraft models of taco trucks. My personal favorite is the zombie taco truck which sells brains, flesh and organs instead of regular food. Templates of all eight trucks are located here.

Here's another papercraft from the guys at the Mech3.org forum. This MechWarrior 4 cargo truck was 3D modeled, texture mapped, and unfolded by forum member "SHIFTDEL". Available in Pepakura PDO format only, the template may be downloaded here. Building this 1:40 scale model looks to be relatively simple as there are only 14 parts contained on 4 pages. Just the thing for a beginning papercrafter!

UK paper model designer Pete Watson has a passion for British road and rail transport models. His website offers dozens of 00 scale trams, buses and commercial vehicle models. One of the free models he offers is this Morris Commercial Light Van. The time period for this delivery van is not mentioned, but my guess is that it was used in the 1950's. A download of the van template is available here.

The Dodge M37 is a three-quarter ton four-wheel drive truck that was used extensively by the US Army during the Korean War. I don't know for sure, but I think versions of this truck probably appeared in the M*A*S*H television show which was set during the Korean War. This papercraft is offered by a member of the Military Vehicle Preservation Association who owns a real life M37 which he restored himself. A PDF template of the truck is available here.
