Best paper airplane ever!

[ausrere]

Now THIS is a paper airplane. A 1:60 scale model of a Boeing 777 made entirely out of manila folders. Took the guy 5 years to build and was so time consuming he eventually dropped out of college to finish it. Talk about attention to detail!:

Pictures of the whole build.


Story with time lapse of some of the build.

That's incredible, but I have to wonder ...

why?

Hopefully, he used acid free folders, otherwise it probably already has started breaking down and becoming brittle with age.

Few materials as ubiquitous and easily manipulated as paper. I agree with John though, manilla folders are not acid free and will not stand the test of time. That said, I have seen origami models I made as a child still extant (one of the most memorable experiences of my life to be honest). There are quite a few art papers that are acid free and will last forever, though.

I predict he will go on a mass shooting spree within the next year.

These extraordinary Origami models took extravagant amounts of time to fold, but none of their creators has yet resorted to mass murder.

That's encouraging. BTW I've seen your origami postings before. Nice work.

I am deeply flattered but can take no credit for any of these marvels, which were all designed and folded by others.
