I used to see those items in the comics I used to buy in the 60's, but could not afford them, so I make them out of appliances cardboard and painted everything. The one I had most fun was a tank, I made the turret moveable. I remember a cardboard spaceship capsule that was on display in an appliance store in my town, I think it was something by General Electric. I know that I made something similar out of cardoard for a science fair. I used tempera to paint all those things.
