Go see my husband's latest paper creation, a steampunk mech based on an old train. All paper, glue and paint, it stands about 11 inches tall. The really amazing thing to me (besides the knobs on the pipes) is that fact that he hand embossed the wood grain into the paper to make the barrel.

He has shots from all sides on Flickr, it's really amazing!

Hehe - 11 inches, not 11 feet. We keep it in the house ;)

I can't believe it's all paper! I read the words "paper creation", then looked at the photos, then back at the words...rinse and repeat, still not quite computing!

Brilliant piece of work.
