Man takes papercraft to a whole new level

Man takes papercraft to a whole new level

Gamers who are in touch with their artistic side may very much be admiring this man for his patience levels. He has managed to make a life-size statue of Link from only paper. That's right, he cut, folded and glued his way to the magnificent looking statue.

To top it off, he has even written his own instructions so that other artistic gamers can work on their own statue of Link. To do so, you'll need lots of printing paper and a Windows-exclusive file reader. For instructions, visit this site: www.papercraftmuseum.com/

If anyone here has the patience to go through with this, make sure you let us know by posting. We'd love to see some more awesome statues of Link.

This has just made my day. This is so frickin' amazing, not only is it life-sized, it's actually even BIGGER than he should be! You can tell because Link's legs as thick as the maker's even though Link wears tights and the maker wears baggy jeans. Still, I'd pay $150 for this! (if it lasted a long time)
