Thanks guys,

The truck was not designed at a specific scale and I realized that the tissue box would fit in the bed after it was designed. The wheelbase had to be under 10" so the chassis could fit on a letter size sheet. The rest of the truck was proportioned accordingly. The wheels have a 2.5" diameter, the fenders and bed are 5" wide and the whole thing is about 15 5/8" long x 5 1/4" high, so I figure the scale must be around 1/12. It was built from 41 parts printed on 9 sheets (Canon Matte Photo Paper 45lbs/170gr).

For many parts I had to print on both sides of the sheet and that is mostly why I do not know if I will release it. I could figure the alignement of the colored shapes to be printed on the back like the inner sides of the bed, body or fenders, but that may vary alot from a printer to another. Maybe inside parts could be printed on thin paper then glued to the back, but that would probably wet the parts and deform them. Plus, that is a lot of ink!!! Really I do not know what to do about it.

Still, it was fun to design and build (except for wheels....I hate wheels LOL) so here are the assembly pictures.
