Well, suffice it to say that the Chaffee probably won’t be my next project. Returning to the original question in this thread, the Optimus Prime model by Paper-Replika (Jules Perdana) is pretty insanely complex. He mentions that one leg of the figure takes 122 pages. Yikes. I seem to recall that his Bumblebee model had 12,000 parts, but I couldn’t find that model on his website, only on a site with an unsavory reputation.

Anne,
I just checked, it is 122 pages for both legs.

Fair enough, I stand corrected. I think that still qualifies as a complex model, though.

Most complicated and detailed?
Of the models I have built, GPM's DKM Bismark was detailed but not all that complicated. It was just large. It took me the better of a year to finish it.
Ken West's 1/12-scale Apollo CM was very detailed and complicated, but some of the complications came from fit problems and butt joints. I have immense respect for Ken, but he is not a fan of joiner strips. Overall, the most detailed, complicated, and enjoyable kit I have built was Uhu02's Lunar Module. In a scale model contest at the EAA AirVenture Museum, it won an award for "Most Complex." At at IPMS Regional meet in Madison, WI, it took first place in "Real Space," beating out several excellent plastic models. Honorable mention goes to Alin Osarik's 1/33 scale Merlin 45 Supermarine Spitfire engine. I built it in 1/16 scale and, even then, it was full of greeblies. Of the models I have seen but not built, I would nominate the 1/96-scale paper model of the Apollo Launch tower and crawler kits from EduCraft Diversions. At that scale, they will be close to five feet tall. If I had another lifetime in which to build . . .

Another very complex and detailed model is the Olkiluoto nuclear power plant. It has 3.100 parts many of them with no gluing strips and with several extremely small butt joints. As expected from any complex model, the results are amazing, but a lot of patience and free time is needed to complete this fantastic replica.

... saw this thread today ... here's a picture of the 1/350 cardmodel of OLKILUOTO III
The picture was taken by Ricardo Leite in 2017 who also assembled the model - he kept the roof openings closed for this picture. :-) Quote:

No doubt this model of the Olkiluoto atomic power plant is fantastic. It just requires time and more time but worth every second spent on its building.
