Thank you! A lot of the structure is hidden, but some of it is still visible when the thrust reversers are deployed: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fdD-espjbo.htmlsi=PnANphV6jIeMqF1K
amazing as always. As a paper artist i'm blown away with your technique, thank you for sharing the process, it inspires me more to work on my skill out of my comfort zone and the soaking of water and patiently molding the paper, man you're a master of this art not to mention precision and the engineering with this built. i also love the way you film your work.
This video blew my mind and made my day at the same time... I've been scratchbuilding for some years now, but your skill to turn paper into a semi-functional jet engine is just mind boggling... Kudos.
Oh wow! Just recently I was thinking about some guy that years ago made mechanical landing gear out of paper that inspired me to start working on foldable paper contraptions and pop up books. Today Tom Scott reminded me of who that was! Thanks Luca!
Luca. I'm so glad to see you now have a youtube channel. I saw a video about your airplane 6 years ago and it's been so inspiring. I'm so happy you have you a dedicated channel to see more of your work. Inspirational.
Agreed, horribly underrated. I think people prefer daily entertainment. I LOVE that we get these jewels in the methodical timeline expected any artistic masterpiece.
There are no words to adequately describe this chaps' skill level and attention to detail. Was especially impressed by the technique used to create the double curvature intake fan blades, and the little male/female press tool for that.
2:53 to 2:57 Aligning those concentric paper cones at that scale - I've tried something like that in the past and it frustrated the daylights out of me. Not to mention those other parts with even finer precision. Hats off to you for making it all come together!
Произведение инженерно-технического искусства человечества, повторили в произведение модельно-бумажного искусства человечества. Если ни чем не ограничивать труд человека, человек сможет всё! 😍
I love how the moving parts are so cleanly integrated - there's even a cover flap for the thrust reverser switch! So well thought out. Super impressive how even with so many parts there is not much mechanical play. The attention to detail is inhuman honestly. Kudos on a true work of art!
It's good to see you again. The intricacy and detail of all those tiny parts, covered up to never be seen again, is truly mind-blowing! It must be so satisfying having it all documented, though?
I struggle with whether to cover it up, but ultimately I want it to look realistic and I enjoy making the skin as smooth as possible. You can however see many of the details when the thrust reversers are deployed, check out this video of the first engine: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--fdD-espjbo.html
Un trabajo impresionante. Lo que más me asombra es que la mayor parte del esfuerzo queda oculto, nadie puede verlo... Lo has diseñado y construido hasta el más mínimo detalle solo por el mero placer de hacerlo, ¡enhorabuena!
I am part of global supply chain supporting GE Aircraft Engines. I know this engine family well. The fact that this replica constructed from paper and is so accurate is amazing. Bravo
Thank you, incredible skills, and a real modelling achievement. It's surprising to some that card/paper modelling can be just as an enjoyable as plastic or any other medium or material. Thank you again for an enjoyable and learning 8 minutes entertainment. Take care.
I don't care if it started with a printout. The skill, precision, patience and attention to detail to complete this work of art is incredible. Luca; I'm very happy I was recommended your channel. You have just earned a new subscriber and anyone visiting your channel should be subscribing too. I'll certainly be informing all of my friends about your channel. I wish you all the success in the world. God Bless You, Luca.
OMG! This is amazing, and I thought some Lego was hard. The attention to detail and the patience required are just astounding. Very, very well done! 👍👍👍👍
This is my first time ever seeing how those reverse thrusters work. For some reason I never even considered that when it pulls back that there’s all those individual flaps that fold out.
Have you experimented with laser cut paper parts? It may reduce the hand crafted feeling too much, but it could make all the pieces more exact. Plus with paper as thin as that, there wont be residue buildup on the edges, or at least not much. As always, very impressive stuff. It has been wonderful to watch along as you build your little planes.
@@lucaiaconistewart Was about to ask if you though about buying a plotter or those don't have high enough resolution for your purposes, but this clears things up ^^
Fantastic of course! I would recommend a laser cutter, it has fundamentally changed how I build models like this. Your precision will increase and your work time will decrease as well. Your ability to make small incremental changes is increased exponentially. You will be impressed. Great work of course, I totally approve.
I've used laser cutters before (not for any of my paper models) and they can definitely be a timesaver, but at the end of the day I just prefer cutting by hand. I actually enjoy the process 🙂
I don't even know what to say anymore. Your level of detail is insane. Really amazing work! How do you make the little pins for the mechanical parts? I always struggle getting things like that properly round and also not have it break after moving it a few times and you're doing it at such a tiny scale. Truly mindblowing as always!
I delaminate the paper to "single-ply" (ish) thickness, coat it with glue and roll it up. Once it dries it becomes incredibly hard and durable. I'll upload a longer video at some point-I had to cut certain parts out of this one for the sake of time.
