Hi everyone: Straying away from buildings again here is a site for sci-fi and wargammers with lots of paper things to build: tinyurl.com/y844rpvo It's by "tommygun" a well known paper builder. Lots of things there on one gigantic page and many can be modified for your own use. Some re-sizing will need to be done to make somethings HO-scale. There are crates, containers, buildings, etc.
Use more paper in your diorama, Swamp Daddy

Hi everyone: Further report on "free" paper items.
Kingsway which also sells paper buildings including a neat skyscraper has a “free” Christmas model each year: www.kingswaymodels.com/page27.htm
Here are some more sci-fi containers at the Antenocitis Workshop, pdf files of the 10 "evil corporations", 28mm gammers and not dimension-ed like normal RR containers. Free to download at: www.antenocitisworkshop.com/free-papercard-craft-containers/
Included are Skynet (Cyberdyne), Soylent Green, Umbrella Corporation, Coca-cola and other Sci-Fi games. Me thinks they left out OCP, US Robotics, the EPA, Microsoft, IBM and General Motors from their "evil" list. I may have to rework these into normal dimensions for use on my RR
Found another site aimed at war gamers and sci-fi gamers with lots of paper containers and other goodies. Unlike "Tommy Gun" where everything was on one gigantic page, this site is one item per page so you have to do quite a bit of page hopping to find what you might want to be used. Some containers are here at the Joe Dios site: www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=1248&c=8 Be sure and search around for other items; many are usable for dioramas which aren't for gaming.
Go here for a free 6 page pdf of 4-basic color generic containers: www.combatstorm.com/downloads/containers-v2-001.pdf these are considerably larger than HO so when you print them you will have to adjust the size to your own scale; also no bottoms included unlike most paper container images. However, these are generic colors with NO LOGOS so you can apply your own artwork to them in a photo program after first taking a screen capture of the color you want from the .pdf. I guess if you have a program to edit .pdf files you can co the artwork application in the original. though i always save the original to use later on for a different container, etc.
Build more paper, Swamp Daddy 8-)

Hi all: I touched bases with Keroliver who started this thread in ancient times and which I've kept up over my years on the 87thScale message board. He states he is not actively doing any new paper models but many of them are still available for download at: www.maquettes-papier.net/forumenpapier/ This includes paper cars and paper buildings. Many other paper models in HO scale are available if you google for them and via the many links I've posted in Keroliver's thread over the years.
Happy paper modeling, Swamp Daddy
