I saw this in another forum and I just had to share. The thread was on “Paper-Based” modeling and here is a kit you have to see [:0]
It’s a Dragon Wagon, paper-based. I wish I could read Chinese and get more details on the kit.
Ma, I can barely do that with plastic and PE, much less paper! Your topic header is dead on.

That is without a doubt … unreal.
Let me understand this…that was paper? That is some serious Origami!
Is it a composite made up of paper? Lucy, ju got some splainin to do…You have just wreaked complete chaos with the lemurs in my head.

If you go to the main page, they have other models also.
Here is an example of a P51 Mustang, just to show how it looks before removing the parts from the sheets. http://www.kami-mokei.com/jsc_p51/p51.html
I would think that, it’s like a stiff paper stock.
Absolutely incredible… * sits and stares…speechless * * contemplates QUITING * [:D]
I’m impressed to say the least.

Anybody want to complain about the quality of their Italeri kits anymore ?
I’m lucky if I can roll up a newspaper properly so that I can swat a fly let alone make it look like something.
Yeah, it looks like heavy card stock or railroad board (I’ve built architectural models with that stuff).
Wow, maybe I should dump my plastic and convert to paper - That stuff looks awesome
WOW… that’s all I can say
That is incredible!!
'Nuff said!
I’d like to see the finished p-51!
Anybody able to translate that?
Wow…that is incredible, now if you will excuse I am going to go and stand in the corner and cry…
Yeah, but the thing is, a plastic model will stand up to a lit match a hell of a lot better! 
No “realistic” bullet holes or the whole thing goes FOOMP! up in flames!
LOL
Still, its an impressive model!
I’m still having a hard time believing that Dragon Wagon was made entirely out of paper. How in the world did they make the mirror arms and other small railings.
Did anyone get any kind of a scale?
Bloody brilliant, that. I just would like to know how someone would have enough time to make paper look that good.
And you all wonder why we bother sanding and painting plastic. I wonder what those chains are made of?
We plastic modellers follow the instructions. The paper modeller BUILDS the instructions. LOL.
Allan… LOL… do ya think we can do that with the instructions???
So THAT’S what they’re for!
Wow!
Dwight
wow! i’m impressed…goes a little beyond the basic paper airplane type thing, for sure!
altho my japanese is not too good, i’d guess that 1/25 could be the scale. in which case, it’s a big old thang…double wow!
That is amazing!
It’s in Japanese, not Chinese, by the way.
“Kami Mokei” means “paper model.”
The text says the model comes on 17 pages of A3 size paper, is 70cm long and sells for 9,000 yen. It is 1/25 scale.
The modeler also used piano wire, flower arrangement wire, small chains, OHP film, aluminum foil (from the kitchen) and red cellophane (from his kid’s bedroom!).
Amazing!
Domo arigato for the translation, J-Hulk-sama. we r all in ur debt… hey, what’s 9,000 yen in US bux, anyway ?
