Welcome to the pages of the Czecho-Slovak Minimodel team. What will you find here? First was the Bucobox models (papercrafts) by Ľubomír Blichár and second the FDS models by František Kováčik, and as usual, created in the 1:100 scale. But now this is a much bigger Project together with Franta, Kamil, Tom and Pitris. Everything in the background with the incredible support of Vilo. Most paper models will be available for free download in PDF format. Since these paper models are not glued only in Czech Republic (Czechia) or Slovakia, we will introduce you to a few modellers from other regions in the world. Minimodel is not a common word and Minimodel team is not just a phrase. Minimodel is a concept that is currently known all over the world. The models are built in Tasmania, Russia, Ukraine, Slovakia, Poland, Germany, France, England and as far as Argentina, USA and Canada. The Minimodel team is the second family for us, for whom we live, work, we create, not only during our free time.
This is exactly the fourth Christmas on our website. From the point of view of Minimodel, the year 2021 was in many ways challenging, but also exceptional. Since the Christmas holidays and gift time are literally knocking on our door, we have prepared some interesting surprises for you.
The author of the LBS system models has prepared a Christmas surprise for you in the form of the Tatra Phoenix snow plow model, which you can download...

Hello friends, as I wrote in the last article, while visiting Kopřivnice and solving the exposition of Minimodels in the new museum of Tatra Trucks, we also took a look at the original Technical Museum.

The solution of the new museum is a fantastic project, where all the legendary trucks have enough space for...

But as he wrote, in addition to the actual templates, there are also complete design works, when the model is already the last phase of the design of a completely new vehicle visualization of the author's design.
At one time in 2017, the...
