2CV in Papercraft; all types and models

Simply select the type (indicated by the icon) and colour (AC code and preview), and download one of hundreds 2CV paper-craft models. In total, there are about 300 models to download, all slightly different in colour and details, originally posted on Brusino.com. You might ask, what drives someone to create such an amount of paper models. Even if they all are similar, it represents a significant amount of joy, passion, dedication, but also – boy! What an amount of time invested. Yes, I too question myself on occasion.

It all started at the time I was living like a ‘globetrotter’, and traveling a lot for work. Being away from home most of the week, I began to build simple paper-craft models on Saturday morning with my daughter, at the time about 5 years old, and my son, about 3 years old. Driving a 2CV myself, I searched for a simple model. One, simple enough that we could build it together. However, this turned out to be difficult. Yes, there are a few paper-craft models of the 2CV which are absolutely gorgeously beautiful, but far too complex for a five year old, let alone a 3 yer old. Even I almost gave up. Alternatives were those that are simple, but probably a bit too simplified. They did not look the part. So I designed one myself, keeping it simple but with just enough detail where it counts to meet my perceptual criteria.

OK, I admit, I went a little overboard. I started with one 2CV that was simple yet good enough. Soon a second, AK250 version was born, then one reflecting an early 1950’s version, etc. Before long I produced almost 10 different versions, trying to keep up with the major visible changes as detectable from old brochures and folders. They were still black and white, though. So, the next challenge was colour to apply. Preferably a realistic one. Luckily Cats Citroën pages and the Dutch Ami association listed Citroën-colours, i.e. AC colours grouped by year, which was a good start, although regretfully your average Photoshop has no clue about the AC standard. Together with samples from photos found on various Citroën enthusiast sites (e.g. an DS/ID page, an impressive AMI page, or a Dyane page) resulted in the still growing overview of coloured models.

Below you find a table where the models are sorted by colour and year. Underneath, you find direct links to the PDF documents, free to download and print. For a selection of good quality prints, please refer to the book “The Citroën 2CV | in papercraft” on Amazon.

Enjoy.
