Think of paper aeroplanes and a folded up 2-second flier probably comes to mind.
Not so for San Francisco student Luca Iaconi-Stewart, who’s spent a painstaking six years building a replica Boeing 777 out of Manila folders.
The 22-year-old began his incredible static 1:60 scale model back in 2008 after becoming inspired from an architecture class where he learnt to make simple models out of card.
“I took the idea a step further and began work on this plane, though I never anticipated it reaching its present level of complexity,” he told CNET.
Aviation experts have hailed Iaconi-Stewart’s labor of love as being entirely faithful to the aircraft’s design – with its tiny seats, overhead compartments and video screens in the back of each chair.
