Spend 100 hours making your own supercar

AT first glance, this looks like any other impressive model car.

But despite looking like a clever boys toy this Bugatti supercar is actually made from sheets of paper.

The carefully crafted work of art is the result of just 44 sheets of paper and 100 hours of careful planning and building. From his studio near Seattle, Washington, graphic designer Taras Lesko uses a combination of computer software and good old fashioned glue and scissors to put together the 3D models. Lesko, 30, left university with a degree in Design and Visual Communications and is now a full time graphic designer for a Xbox 360 video game company but he taught himself the art of paper crafting and has been experimenting with it for the past five years. The luxury sports car usually measures in at 4.46 metres and will leave your wallet about £1 million lighter but this pint size model is only a tiny 76cm long. He finishes the works of art with special attention to the tiniest of details so the paper sports cars are identical to their real life partners. Fans of his work can download the templates off his website and have a go at creating their own paper project. Since he launched the project in May, the templates have already been downloaded from his website millions of times.
