The Most Amazing Model Airplane Ever!
It took five years, a mess load of glue and a whole lot of patience but Luca Iaconi-Stewart pulled it off.
Although these few photos in this gallery are awesome, they are only a glimpse of the work put into this model airplane. Be sure and watch the Youtube video below and visit Iaconi-Stewart’s Flickr page to see the close-up photos of everything from the overhead bins to the cockpit. Luca Iaconi-Stewart built the 777 jetliner replica on a scale of 1:60 using manila folders and glue. It’s insanely precise and almost as complicated as the real aircraft.
All the right-side cabin doors open.
Looking into the cabin, with a bit of the first class galley visible directly to the left of the open door.

The aft cargo door attached to the hinge.
In the fully-open position. Note that the door itself doesn’t actually touch the fuselage when it’s open.
The forward cargo door before it was installed onto the body.
A complete engine on the left and the skeleton of an incomplete engine at right.
Engines – All Done!

The dividing wall between Business and Economy. The curtains are one of my favorite details.
