I posted this elsewhere but it really needs to go here for future generations doing digital archeology on what old pharts did with all their spare time back in ancient times.

Its small...which is a good thing to some.
But the base really needs some thick card or foamcore as I have suggested. Not only to keep it flat, but to give it visual weight at the base. ... And I forgot to mention... I gathered some of the original Schulz comic strips of Snoopy, his Dog House, and this scene. That where I got the basic design for the shape of the Dog House. It actually changes shape depending on the angle it appears in his drawings! But the artwork...all the black line drawing you see ...the grass on the ground and sides of the dog house, the front entryway and Snoopy's name, the lines of the boards, and all the bullets holes... is all Schulz artwork grabbed from the comic strips. (Vectorized and applied to the model) I personally added the gritted teeth to Snoopy, because he didn't seem serious enough in the original artwork! lol

Snoopy looks like he's going to bite your leg off. That's a good thing.

Back on thread topic - Koolwheelz Capri done. Will admit not my best Koolwheelz build, and I left the wheels flat, but it's not that bad (I feel) to warrant a rebuild.

flat wheels is the original way I intended Koolwheelz!

Deora done too.
Question, is there a score 'n fold required on the body, though not shown on print ?

I saw the real thing back about 1968.
It was one of my first Hot Wheels toys in 1968. And I had a plastic kit from the same time. Deora...my favorite custom car ever (despite the colour) was one of my first Koolwheelz models. Not only is it extremely simple (I wish i could get back to that!) but the Model Sheet lacked many things you see on later model. It might be smart for me to go back and update some of the earlier models with things like better fold line indicators. The Deora sheet does have lines along the center Body panel, for folding. They are solid red lines...I now use dotted lines...but they are there. And there is a note to "fold on the red lines". Or, are you asking something else? Obviously you figured it out...its not that complicated of a model. And you did a very clean build too.

I think he is referring to the sides, just along the top edge of the orange detail stripe.
I think it looks better as a gentler curve myself

You can't curve or fold the sides of this model.
The center strip is not designed for that. the model has been designed with flat sides. The colours and artwork simulate a three dimensional side surface. The upper area of the cockpit/cabin sides have to fold inwards to match the windshield/rear window panels. But thats all. And yes, you can score that or loosely bend it...whichever you prefer.
