Default World's smallest Cruiser model? (1/192 scale, approx)

If you haven't seen it yet, check out the model of a Cruiser you can put together at PaperToys.com: http://papertoys.com/pt-cruiser.htm
This comes out to a 3" long model. Not that it wasn't cute, but I wanted to go bigger. So a little fun with Photoshop and I created a blue one about twice the size. Well this morning a co-worker handed me one he created freehand, about 1/2" long!

Check out all three, plus my Maisto model (1/24 scale) in my new signature.

I'm thinking of making the trunks open, then storing them like those Russian nesting dolls!

Okay, the same guy just came over with a pencil eraser, cut up and colored. I'm not going to try a picture, cause I don't think I could focus on something that small.

Sean, thanks for posting the graphic here. Also, if you go to the page and scroll down, he has two colored versions, in silver and gold.

Not only can you use it as a set of nesting dolls but you can even use it as a customized car cover for you toy PTs. There you go Sean, you have a new project.

A cruiser is 169" long so a 1/2" model is more like 1/340 scale.
I'd like a N scale (1/160) PT for my model railroad if anybody sees one around.
