Green Peterbilt 18 wheeler

I made this truck because of a customer's desires. The trailer and the truck cab have trimming have trimming that is made of wood and aluminum paper.
I did not have enough glossy paper for the end section of the trailer, so I used regular paper and then covered it with leather .
For the cab I added six lights on the roof but covered the wiring with paper. I made the nose to open up.
I made two separate connections for the taillights in the trailer. In both ends of the wiring in the truck cab, I gave them battery clips. And for the wiring in the trailer, I used one more battery clip so that when you connect the trailer you can rehook the lights together.
For the front headlights, I gave enough slack in the wire so that the hood could still open. The nose of the truck carries the battery source. The trailer is the most unique part of the whole truck because half of the trailer is covered with fabric including the doors. The wheels have real rubber, but their rims are different colors. It literally has 18 wheels. I sold this truck.

The General Lee

The General Lee was the first vehicle to have actual interior wheel wells, which gave the trunk more space. The grille is made of paper, wood, and chicken wire. The lights are made of aluminum foil tubing.
I tried to add every detail that the actual General Lee had. It was a Dodge Charger. The rest of the trimming was made of foil, wood, and paper.I liked this car because it was really cool looking. I sold this car.

1972 Mercedes Benz

The Mercedes Benz had a grille that was almost like the Lincoln grille. The light covers were steel, which I made of aluminum foil and cardboard. I made the emblem perfectly so it would open separately from its bottom section.
The roof was made from my imagination of what it looked like. The doors had a very interesting shape to them.
The middle of the hood raised up. The windshield wipers are made of wood and foil.

I gave the back fenders the illusion that there were wheel skirts.

The interior of the car was lined with blue fabric and the seats were made of leather. The steering wheel was mistakenly put on the right side of the dashboard.
I sold this car.

Delorean

I made the Delorean doors to open vertically. The steering wheel is made of thick wire.
The front has recessed lighting and a grille that gradually lengthens.
The bumpers are made of black painted paper and cardboard.The fabric inside is artificial cow-skin. The doors were a little bit difficult to work with because I had to make sure they would fit inside the Delorean when they closed. The trimming is made of black painted paper.This car was very interesting because it almost looked like the real thing. The back taillights were the same though they had a little bit of a unique look to them. I like this car. I sold it.
