Immense hand-made paper F1 model

It's amazing, massive levels of detail. The guy ends up getting an offer to work at Adrian Newey at Red Bull F1 team!

Thanks mods for moving this out of GG, now hardly anyone is going to see this thread

Great effort though, the attention to detail makes my head hurt!

Looking good

sorry for being cynical, but, if I had the airfix plastic model of this same car, would it not be quite easy for me to cut, bend, shape, mould, paint laminate exactly the same components out of paper? funny how he seems to have all the right decals to go with it.

Either way it's still cool and now has the oppertunity of a lifetime at redbull.

He's making all the decals himself - copying from photos. He's even printed out all that carbon fibre weave.

I know what you mean. Maybe one or two people might have those skills, but I doubt anyone else has that much commitment.

If anyone does say they could do it, then the simple response: where's your model then?

And the patience! I'm terrible for wanting everything done ASAP. I'd have it done in a night but it'd look more like a reliant robin and would most certainly fall apart when picked up.

Looks like his skills & patience has paid off, one of his posts on the 9th page says-
quote
"Yesterday, I recieved an e-mail of Rob Marshall, Chief Designer of Red Bull Racing and therefore main technical responsable under a man, called Adrian Newey (maybe someone heard something about that guy ). Anyway he offers me the opportunity of a year long work experience at Red Bull. If I am interessted, I should reply directly to him and not to the HR department.
It looks like (I don't know exactly yet) that I've to do an interview in Milton Keynes anytime. If I'm successfull, I'll take my bags for spending a year in England. Nothing fixed yet, but the chance is there.
Either way, I'll keep you up to date..."

Good luck to him

Oh and Mods should move this back for a wider audience.

That really is bloody impressive. I wish I was that good at making models!

I'm not saying I could do that - unless I already had the original parts to copy from ...................

Looks like next season's Red Bulls will be made of papier mache then!

maybe a different title would help, "man builds model f1 car & is offered job at redbull" might do it?
