Here is a video of a Boeing 777 made completely from manila folders. This is a little (ok, a lot) above my skill level!

Strange how this story keeps coming back up every couple of years since he started it a decade ago. I first saw this build back around 2011, I think.

Interesting. I just heard about it yesterday, and I thought people over here might enjoy seeing this. I apologize for posting such an old topic.

Don't apologize, James - the story is new to me, and probably others too. What an absolutely humbling, awesome build!

I'd seen the "manila folder paper airplane" before, as it's been around for a while. What I hadn't seen was the attached feature on the "Worlds Smallest Airport" which is incredible-- with bunches of scale model planes taking off, loading and landing-- and vehicles moving in all directions-- absolutely incredible-- check it out too-- and thanks for brining it to our attention!

@ James – That one just never gets old. You've done us a service. Older topics such as this one truly deserve an occasional bump.

@ Russ – That is some amazing eye-candy! ... And here's the link to 'Knuffingen Airport.'
