You'll see that you have already mastered some of the techniques he uses in his models. The one thing that you will realize is that he is a master at obtaining detailed and accurate documentation - you can never have too much...,

If you have aluminum glued to cardstock, can you soak the paper to get the complex curves that paper alone won't do? The aluminum should hold the form once the paper becomes pliable.
