You can scale the template in SVG or DXF files in your cutting software.

The toy scales to print on Tabloid or A3 paper sizes will be 1,5 times larger.

If you are using a cutting machine

• Elements of different colors are placed in separate layers.
• If your cutting machine has a scoring tool, you can use files with fold lines in a separate layer. You should mark that lines as Score lines in your cutting software and then attach the score lines with other lines of the figure to cut.
• If your cutting machine does not have a scoring tool you should use files with perforated fold lines. 
• You can find also files with cut out windows, door handles and headlights.  To make the headlights white, glue a rectangular white element from the inside.

Files tested in Cricut Design Space and Brother CanvasWorkspace.

If you are using a hand cut (PDF version)
