This whole project is unreal. The attention to detail is humbling and beautiful. Post it to reddit, and get the recognition you deserve.

When I saw this Leonardo Da Vinci came to mind with his incredible anatomy sketches. You are a true master artist.....this is stunning work Luca

***FOR THE RECORD*** I did not drop out of college because of or for this project. My reasons were unrelated, but I've obviously had more time to work on this since leaving.

Quite simply THE MOST astonishing and incredible model making I have ever seen! The fact that it's been done in paper has left me even more amazed!

I would be surprised if Boeing hadn't approached you about doing their scale models for them. Simply amazing work, and I cannot wait to see the the finished product all assembled.

astonishing!!!!!!!!

You are one awesome person! Your attention to detail and dedication will bring you success. Stay Focused!

I am humbled. Beautiful work. Mr Blase my architectural design class would have used your efforts as an example back in 73. He had us use paper and balsa creating gliders and our designs in houses. I obsessively work with Sketch Up Make creating models you inspired me to actually try building those designs. After I draw them out. Free sketch up you can't print out your work. You are just plain amazing.

I think you made the decision due to what makes you happy & clearly doing these models are EXTREMELY amazing & I've never seen anything quite like this.. Especially out of manilla folders.. Keep up the good work Luca!! 👍

As someone who has been involved in scale models designing for 35 years you have been able to stun me. I know what's involved in achieving this and all I can come up with is WOW! People think skills and artistry is all it takes to achieve this but I know patience is needed as well, if not more. Super Job. And you are right about college. It's not because you went to college you are per definition smart. That is proven daily. It takes more than college to learn about life. Experience does though. I wish you nothing but success in whatever you challenge next in life.

I build and paint model aircraft professionally but this blows my work out of the water. Truly amazing!

I'm totally blown away at your work. OUTSTANDING WORK

creativeness + hardwork = master piece

Man I am totally blown away awesome. I have designed a lot of the tooling and fixtures to manufacture the cargo systems in the Boeing and Airbus planes. I can not get over your amazing talent W O W !!!!

Just amazing ! Wouldn't be surprised if you can make this plane fly for true... !! All those details!! very nice job.

What you do is ART man. Congratulations, you have a gift.

Stunning work

This is crazy and at the same time GREAT!!!

Outrageous. Amazing work, man.

WOW this is awesome! I always had a theory as kid that such things are possible to do just with paper and glue and you proved it , great work.

I pray this does you more good than the usual bits of paper that people work for!

Just amazing, masterful combination of art and engineering!

You're a friggin' maniac! But I LOVE it! Absolutely GREAT work! The details are mind-bending! And thank you for sharing!

You are very clever dude!

AWESOME!!!

Amazing. Really.

Ok this is just such a masterful work of Art almost beyond belief. i tip my hat to you for such an awesome piece of design and engineering! Love Illustror but man you are the grand master. I use Solidworks daily. so this just so impressive!!!!!!!

Fala sério!! o Maluco é muito enjoado nos detalhes!! show de bola!!

WoW! Superbe ! Magnifique ! Merveilleux! J'envie votre grand talent ! merci!

This is impressive

amazing

Your work is beautiful! Please say that someone is sponsoring all this crazy work! Have you ever considered making a flying model? I fly RC and LOVE commercial airliners, but they are few and far between. You work would probably give the pilot a heart attack (from fear of crashing), but they sure are a work of art!

Amazing, got to subscribe...!

Amaizing...

wow... just.. wow....

nice video

speechless............

Now, you should make some small LD3 containers and pallets to match. Then some matching passenger stairs.

you are amazing

I'm very impressed. Well done mate! If you really enjoy modelling, I think you should make it your profession :) The amount of details and also the scale, are really impressing.

it´s so cool

Safer than a DC10...

Boeing777 en papier!! Très fort!

Cool

art

Genius

Holy f*kin sh*t man, I would shit entire bricks if I had to do such small elemnts from material that can easily break, deforms itself and stuff. Thats EPIC!

caramba amigo voce é extremamente talentoso!!

I think you're crazy in best way... I'm not american so it's hard to explain my thinking, But you're just best..

I now really believe impossible things happen everyday

unbelievable ! How in the world is it possible that this beautifully crafted person is capable/able to: think up, design, develop, execute in a way that it is functional … all of these incredible small parts out of paper, and that the model is even able to move all of its component parts ! This guy deserves some sort of fantastic job in a for him very attractive position, simply because of him showing he has been able to make this kind of machine, in this manner, completely independently !

Tienes un talento maravilloso.

Are you fucking kidding me????? This is astonishing!

Great Work Luca..!! The perfection clearly reflects meticulous planning, aesthetic sense, engineering knowledge and your creativity and above all your passion & concentration. This achievement of successfully completing your project and the satisfaction of your self with the quality is worth more than million dollars.. I've a small company in India, trying to create Visualization (Animation + Videography) only and only for Engineering.. Many people think n talk on this subject but very few focus only on one thing to create something really awesome.. Would like your association in case you r interested to keep creating things really awesome.. Do respond back if interested..!!

the second door was way too much for me, i had to give a like!

This, in my opinion, takes more work and patience then painting the mona lisa.

Looks like your handle sticks like the real thing. On the real aircraft, those handles can be a real pain sometimes getting them to pull out and pushed back in. Sometimes it takes banging on them to get them flush and locked back into place.

Ever thought about doing a tutorial teaching people how to make things like this?

Hey, that sounds like an awesome project! Unfortunately, I was unable to get the link to work, not sure what the problem is. I haven't used that type of glue, but I trust that it works extremely well for what you're doing. Might have to check it out at some point. BTW, your RC A340 is badass, and you really nailed the shape :D

Estupendo! Please tell us what got you started on this project in particular? Why this plane? Why manila folders? Are all the parts hand cut or do you also use a laser cutter?

Manila Folders, certainly lighter than carbon fiber ;)

Exceptional model, truly breathtaking! Does it fly or is it static display?
