Taras Lesko built this amazing statue of Freedom Gundam out of paper.

This is his latest papercraft project which took him over 2 months to construct. In total, Taras used 175 pages of paper to make this thing. It includes over 500 parts.

This huge papercraft model is based on the Freedom Gundam, seed #7, 1/100 scale model, by Bandai. He constructed a 3D model from this 1/100 scale model and then, converted it into a papercraft model. Check out the timelapse video of him building paper Freedom Gundam.

Now you can get your guilt-free Hummer fix with this rechargeable remote control Hummer.

Licensed by GM, this is a perfect 1:20 scale model of the Hummer H3 and comes in yellow. It has a 6 way controller. The Hummer itself has rechargeable batteries, but the remote control will take 2 AAs.

You can see more pictures and buy your very own for $46 at Toys Brando. And for the record, $46 is about a 1:1000 scale model of the price of a real Hummer.
