Papercraft modelers who work in offices have discovered a nearly unlimited resource sitting in the file cabinetsall around them- manila folders. These lightweight yet strong tan colored folders make for great papercraft models, as is evidenced by this amazing model of a Boeing 777 airplane created by Luca Iaconi-Stewart.
The 1:60 scale model took him over five years to build, and features working cargo doors and landing gear, full interior details including bathrooms and overhead bins, and meticulously detailed thrusters that look like they might roar to life at any moment.
Not only has Luca paid attention to every little detail you can imagine, he’s posted an exhaustive amount of process photos and showoff videos so we can all bask in the glory of his mighty manila model plane.
