Well, the internet has gone one better (it usually does). We've located a Frenchman who makes Star Wars vehicles out of rail tickets.
It's not origami this time, but does use delicate folding, cutting, and some incredible dexterity.
The results are delightful.
Who is the man behind this mission? A chap by the name of Hubert de Lartigue - he's an artist who works using photo-realistic airbrushing, and has already made a name for himself doing fun cheesecake style pin-ups, and also by wandering into the worlds of fantasy and Sci Fi. If you're a gamer, you may recognise his covers on RuneQuest, Land of Ninja and Stormbringer.
What's really cool about his foray into the world of mini-recycled sculpture is that he has gone to the effort to create tutorials - so you can do it at home.
Just the thing, kids, for those rainy February weekends!
