Excellent work. Could we get a list of materials used? Toothpicks, obviously, and paper, but what weight/weights of paper? 200 gsm? Balsa wood? the glue you used? All the technical details.

You don't get to just drop photos of such a cool piece of work without telling the how of it. That wouldn't be right.

Trully saying, there is nothing specific i can tell about papermodeling: basicaly, you just cutting out parts with knife, bend details and glue them to each other

I used 0.5 and 1.0 mm thick cardboard, 160g paper, toothpicks, copper wire.
Licuid superglue( to strengthen ditales), superglue in gel for small parts.

Basic moves can be seen here:
