English Russia highlights this item today;
Alexey Ryzhov from Togliatti, Russia, makes military vehicles from paper. It's a very laborious work so it took a year to make two ships in scale 1:200 - "Peter the Great" and "Deyatelniy" ("Active").


Five pages of remarkable detail at the link.

If he built them from paper rubles it'd make a statement.

When I saw him I said "Ivan idea that fellow is Russian", too.

Origami an idea he might've been Ukrainian.

Either way.
