If you're talking about model _kits_, Ral Partha makes a DocWagon
ambulance which is a nice enough kit, if a bit expensive (US$15.95 it cost
me), but that' the only one I know of. It could reasonably easily be
modified into other Ares Master-series vehicles, mostly by altering the
front end a bit. It's on the small side, though, especially since it's
supposed to be an ambulance/truck-type vehicle.

RP also do some motorcycles (which are in figure sets, not sold
separately) and a "heavy trike" which is actually a five-wheeler and not
based on any SR vehicle I know of.

As for other vehicles, you could just use generic 25 mm vehicles from, for
example, Grendel or Ground Zero Games -- I've got some kind of gang buggy
and a hover tank from Grendel and an 8-wheeled internal security vehicle
from GZG that work well for SR.

Scratchbuilding the complex curves of a typical SR vehicle is not
something I want to even attempt, though :)

OTOH if you were talking about computer models, I don't know of any and
don't feel up to producing them either, especially not with the software
I've got access to (i.e. hardly anything in the way of 3D stuff).
