Manila Folder 777 - Cabin Doors - Open/Close Demo

[@aerlial360]

This whole thing, and I'm going through the Flikr photos right now, is one of the most amazing creative ventures I've ever seen. I remember watching a show in the early eighties where this young kid, an autistic savant, used brown paper grocery bags to build antique cars with similar incredible detail. This takes it to another level. The engine, particularly the thrust reversers, is something I can't comprehend the amount of hours you put into. I too remember doing this in architecture class but way, way simpler. Think what you could do with balsa wood! Seems like cheating now though doesn't it? Phenomenal job. Thanks for sharing it!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Can't wait to make them! I love articulating parts like that (as I'm sure you can see). Thanks for the comments!

[@Boog_masskway]

That is friggin insane. I hope you keep your workshop under lock and key. Awesome work!

[@miuraemerson2521]

Hi Luca! I am closely following your work. I'm in the crowd so your creative magic is on the rise. Your work is inspiring me for some projects that I misled because I did not know what material to use. I'll try some rehearsals to see if I can get some success. Strong hug of Brazil. Cheers

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Thank you, and good luck!

[@aeroplaneman747]

Fantastic!!! Can't wait to see it all finished!

[@mikeindigokiloecho]

Amazing! Great craftsmanship! That door looks very delicate.

[@mylesmarcovitch7771]

Aleen's... I have the white version. Since watching your work, I've gone into my big box of new folders, cut them to fit the ink jet and have started printing out window frames and door details for use with some of the scratch-built projects. I mocked up a mansard roof with it on Sunday and it worked great. I pre-stressed the bend lines so it folder correctly. Thanks for the reply!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

So happy to hear that! All the power to you in your future pursuits :D

[@BomberFletch31]

You, sir, are a genius!

[@AbstractMan23]

you are definitely the boss!

[@aldente2011]

I do hope you will make a grand worldwide tour by this aircraft (onboard this aircraft if you prefer...). Seriously, I would love to see this madness on display. Please come to Ireland.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Thanks everyone!

[@ktuszek7]

Goddamn, You are fucking master in folding models. Incredible job.

[@losgatusos325]

what type of paper did you use for this amazing model , it's amazing

[@lucaiaconistewart]

manila file folders

[@kj762aa]

Wow! can you make a removable emergency exit slide?

[@etops1714]

I think you have something going here . Especially for airline model collectors like myself . If you were to make one of these in AA's new colors . I would serious let consider buying one ..

[@IamPie]

my god, and at that size! good job!

[@an5ama5]

fantastic, what do you use for hinge pins?

[@ryanair614]

When is the model the finishing

[@youtubingedward]

cant wait to see u make flaps

[@newzealandpromoter]

Oh, man, it would be so cool if you created a stop-motion video of the door opening and closing! Surprised you haven't done one here. It would only require a very slow manipulation of the doors, with you moving your hand away after each incremental movement, then edit the video to clip out your hands.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Yea, I've thought about doing that... maybe in one of my future vids!

[@cedrichoppner353]

Hi, this is a fantastic work! I have allready build a paper-Concorde more than 7 yeras ago, I still can remenber how protracted and filigree working this is. May you please tell me, why exactly a Boeing 777? Thank you very much, best regards from Germany!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

I love the way it looks! I think the -300ER has great proportions :)

[@lucaiaconistewart]

[@carterochristie]

When you finish it, please try to put it on display for a bit. I would be willing to pay money to see this in person. You should bring it to Denver, Colorado and set up a display.

[@lucaiaconistewart]

+carterc82 It's my intention to have it displayed somewhere when it's done... hopefully that works out cause I want people to be able to see it in person.

[@vitalyandryushin9053]

Luca it's amazing!!! I've looked trough some of your work and it was jaw dropping!!! Really man, it's something!!!

[@etops1714]

Are you selling this once your done with it ? Amazing !!

[@lucaiaconistewart]

I have to finish it first! Who knows, it's never been my intention but there's no predicting the future either.

[@carterochristie]

+Luca Iaconi-Stewart I would pay thousands for a model at this incredible amount of detail. Although I prefer the way an A330-243 looks more than the 777-300ER.

[@mylesmarcovitch7771]

I've shared your work with everyone. From watching you I've realized that manila folders are a great resource right under my nose. It's cheaper than Bristol Board. How do you make the cylindrical parts? And how do you make compound curves like the nose skins and the nacelle lips? How do you know how to engineer all the folds to make it all work? And lastly, adhesive are you using?

[@lucaiaconistewart]

It's definitely a great and unassuming material that can be used in a variety of applications. When I need to make small cylinders and axles etc, I often will de-laminate the folder to get single-ply thickness, then coat it in glue and roll it up. As for compound curves, I deform the folder by placing it on a large eraser and rubbing it with the curved tip of a pen cap (ie half sphere) until it takes on the right shape, but even then it's not perfect. This is the glue I use: www.amazon.com/Aleene-Clear-Gel-Tacky-Glue/dp/B000BY6THS

[@theearth6246]

Luigui Espinosa Siguenza y quien te ha dicho eso, tu te lo has inventado y tu te lo has confirmado. El primer mundo es donde ustedes se quieren ir y gracias a las leyes que tienen ustedes son marginados por ser negritos, chupaculos de EEUU

[@poonamchauhan5486]

How much time have you taken to make this

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Years... unless you mean just the doors in which case weeks

[@acount19]

Nose landing gear 🙏🙏

[@MathewLinger]

Where can I egt one of these models

[@lucaiaconistewart]

Mathew Linger you can't ;)

[@Solarstar10]

If you go on Amazon you can get the kit for this. Just search for Manilla folders and order as many as you can afford.

[@johnyuen]
