  1. Just looking at the first page wass enough for me.
    WOW

    Nice spot Ralph.

  2. I do quite a bit of scratch building but nothing of that calibre. Manila file folders? Now that is skill.

  3. Holy S**t...I'd be in a rubber room by now ! Wonder how long THAT took ?

    • The magazine article said he is 22 and has been working on it almost 5 years, since he was a teenager. My attention span was about 5 seconds at that age, maybe 5 minutes now...

  4. Amazing link. I was impressed at the start and then blown away when saw that he was doing a full interior as well!

  5. Guess nobody told him it couldn't be done.
    Just imagine what the guy could do with steel, bricks and mortar.
    Awesome.

  6. Well, he certainly has the art of the paper model down. If only he would join this site, I did start a group for paper models!

  7. Me oh my, I am getting tired!

  8. Geez... Amazing.

  9. I think I am going to be sick. Genius work but far too much for little Ol me.
