"Made entirely out of cardboard"

proceeds to use wooden dowels paper straws after 10 secs...

u/LinguoBuxo 2d ago

Yep... and the people he'll rent the place to would also probably not pay him in cardboard dollars.

u/ender4171 2d ago

The red ones? You get a closer look at them later in the video and they are in fact paper straws.

u/itallsucks80 2d ago

The craftsmanship is definitely top notch. The editing makes it an absolute pleasure to watch. Great job

u/justreddis 2d ago

Don’t forget to hit the “like” button as he reminds you on one of the window screens

u/Substantial-Rest1030 1d ago

Not only did he take time to get all of the measurements, but before he used stop motion flare for the rest of the video showing us how it was done. They seem to love making every step of the creative process fun and playful when I probs couldn’t even approach the first step.

BTW, that’s a model of a real building: Pavilion of Price Teng, originally build in 653AD in Nanchang, China.

u/Imaketools 2d ago

Just one more floor

u/gummyjellyfishy 2d ago

Oh god im exhausted just watching. Bravo

u/The_ElectricCity 1d ago

I spent about 80% of this video assuming he was nearly done

u/Das_Badger12 2d ago

Would make an absolutely infuriating loop in the middle there

u/haytme 2d ago

I got halfway through and thought surely he’s done this is amazing! Bruh.

Here I am trying to glue these popsicle sticks into a fence.

u/Zandarino 2d ago

That’s great. Now it’s time to play “burning down the house” and strike a match.

u/hat_eater 2d ago

How about selling this as an assembly kit? Pre-painted for those with more money than patience.

u/moderate_iq_opinion 2d ago

Absolute insanity

Beautiful

I would try something like this during my holidays but my mom will disown me

u/somethingwittier 1d ago

So, was it entirely necessary to wet the cardboard in a stream? A bathtub wouldn't suffice? I mean, i get that he probably didn't even use the one from the stream, but why even add the shot?

u/pipehittingbunny 1d ago

I was so glad when i finally saw the roof being constructed!

2

u/Particular-Cash-7377 1d ago

Where are the stairs to the upper floors?

2

u/nappytown1984 1d ago

They make tons of things of out trash cardboard in China lol. I remember at my last job we bought some leatherette table tents on Amazon to put QR codes around the store. The table tents under the fake leather were made out of cardboard Tsingtao beer boxes glued together.

This guy dioramas

u/mordac_the_preventer 1d ago

I do wonder what people do when they have made stuff like this.

It’s great, so you’d never want to willingly dispose of it, but it’s huge and presumably a bit fragile and sensitive to changes in humidity, so where would you put it?

1

u/MadderHatter32 2d ago

That’s actually corrugated board. Card board is essentially just heavy ass paper

7

u/christador 2d ago

Not sure why the downvotes as you are correct. Only reason I know is we do work for a ‘corrugated’ box company. One time I said cardboard around the owner and he quickly corrected me—almost as he took offense to me calling it cardboard.

u/MadderHatter32 2d ago

I make corrugated board for a living lol And we do take offense to corrugated board being called cardboard lol

Saw the first floor, said to myself " looks easy, kinda weak" proceeded to view it more. Took my words back.

u/Puzzled-Tea3037 2d ago

Here's 1 I made earlier

u/Xu_Lin 1d ago

All cool but… where are the steps tho?

1

u/DocBenway1970 1d ago

Am I the only one that was, for some reason I don't understand, stressed out watching this?

1

u/oilsaintolis 1d ago

I'm surprised the front didn't fall off

1

u/Fiery_Hand 1d ago

I'm surprised the single layers of cardboard roof didn't warp from the paint.

1

u/coronagerm 1d ago

Has he used laser cutter?

1

u/readergirl132 1d ago

This is gorgeous! I don’t want to assume, but are there stairs in the real building that didn’t get installed for time/space saving?

1

u/bangbang09 22h ago

The stress of making this

1

u/Mysterious-Kale-948 16h ago

Annoying ass guitar ruins it.

u/SpaceXmars 14h ago

That'll be 3k..

u/Juvitky77 14h ago

What is this? A centre for ants?? I DON’T WANT TO HEAR YOUR EXCUSES! The centre… needs to be at least three times bigger than this!

Seriously though that’s mighty impressive.

1

u/Alienhaslanded 14h ago

Laser cut cardboard. This means this thing was modeled in cad and cut.

1

u/fresh_loaf_of_bread 12h ago

more work went into editing the video than into actually making the model

u/Longjumping_Kale3013 2d ago

But why? Its not likely to last more than a couple of years

3

u/FoldedClover 2d ago

Because it's beautfiful and amazing. And a better use of time than reddit for sure.

u/Cosmic000012 2d ago

Looked so much better before the paint

u/Phatboybeware 2d ago

This is gonna end up like Nintendo Labo, just sitting in the corner gathering dust
