Wow! This is inspiring!

One of the techniques I have seen (including yours) is to spoon the surfaces from the inside so that the paper forms just like metal. To me, perfection of this technique is the holy grail of paper modeling - it appears you have set the bar pretty high for it.

You know you have been successful when people have to look hard to see that it isn't plastic!

VERY NICE!
