Fantastic!
It seems that all this is done by hand with a scalpel, not even a craft-robot ...!

WOW!
Did you guys find anywhere it shows/explains his technique and tools?
I looked at the other links, including his but did not see anything.
I have always been amazed at modeler who use this medium and think it has great merit for some of the things I build.
I would love to learn more.
In the mean time i guess I am off to the www in search of............................

... I too would be interested in more information, but all I could figure out at the moment is ..
"... All images seen below are made from cardboard ~ boxboard to be precise. They are cut into intricate pieces using a surgical scalpel and assembled intuitively by hand using a plain well known brand of wood glue, without detailed plans or drawings..." I'm curious what kind(s) of cardboard (boxboard) he uses ...

Wow, that is some seriously great work!
Here is the Wikipedia definition of boxboard:
"Folding boxboard, also referred to as FBB or by the DIN Standard 19303 codes of GC or UC, is a paperboard grade made up of multiple layers of chemical and mechanical pulp.[1] This grade is made up of mechanical pulp in between two layers of chemical pulp.The top layer is of bleached chemical pulp with an optional pigment coating.[2] This is a low-density material with high stiffness and has a slightly yellow colour, mainly on the inside. The major end uses of folding boxboard are health and beauty products, frozen, chilled and other foods, confectionaries, pharmaceuticals, graphical uses[3] and cigarettes.[4]"
It sounds as though it would be similar to art papers but more stiff. Paper modelers often add stiffness by saturating with CA or other glues. I would guess success comes less from the medium than the method.

spooky
great to see that fine skills live

It's seems to basically be what is also known as "chip-board".....the same kind of material that the back sides of tablets/pads of paper have.
This material is available in numerous thicknesses. I have found and used it, ranging from heavy paper and cover-stock weight, up to 1/8".

All the skip wagons are built with cardboard! Ant they run perfectly!

Amazingly wonderful! I am continually astounded at the insanely talented miniaturists I keep coming across.
Wow, that is some awesome work indeed. Seeing these great steampunk flying machines makes me think of John Hartford.
