At the age of 14 Johan  <http://www.johanscherft.com/> Scherft made his
first papercraft bird which he colored with a pencil, modeled after the
flying paper models of english artist of Malcolm Topp. His self-created
models along with his drawings gained him admittance to the royal academy of
arts in The Hague where he perfected his painting and sculptural techniques.
Nearly 30 years later the Dutch artist has become a master of the medium
creating a wide variety of objects including dinosaurs, animals, boats, and
especially birds. Scherft uses a computer to aid in the initial steps of
creating the paper blueprints but everything else is done by hand, a
painstaking process that can take several days and occasionally up to a full
month to complete.

If you want to explore a bit more head over to his Facebook
<http://www.johanscherft.com/papercraft.html> page and read a bit more about
his process on My Modern Met

Scherft also keeps an active YouTube
<http://www.youtube.com/user/Terpentijn?feature=watch>  channel where he's
filmed numerous tutorials; don't miss his solar-powered hummingbird
