Papercut Heaven

I ran across this paper project on Nausicaa.net.

That's pretty cool! What are you going to do with it when you're done, though? And where do you find the room to work on it? I imagine you have to leave a project like that spread out over a table-sized space

I'm going to sell it on ebay! Actually I'm going to keep it or maybe give it to one of my little cousins and build myself another one with higher quality paper and ink. Right now I'm using recycled paper I got for free from Office Depot when they had that used ink cartridges for a free ream of paper promotion. I'm also using a recycled ink cartridge from office depot which totally sucks and I don't recommend them.
So far I'm only on page 6 of 26. I've only been doing two pages a day because I've been busy and that takes about two or three hours. It's crazy how small some of the folds are like you have to make six beams that are 1mm wide and four that are 2mm wide. But I have a skill for folds like that. I used to make tiny origami animals that could fit on a finger nail. My specialty was origami swans and I still remember how to do it.
Well I'm off to do pages 7 and 8 now.

I'd be interested in seeing a picture when it's done.....

Of course I'll post pics when I'm done. So far I'm on page 22 of 26. I'm getting there. I'm starting to wish that all the pieces were precut because the cutting is what's taking up a lot of time. I also really hate the tiny little folds.
