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 ...

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.

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".

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.
