Lexus IS Crafted Using Cardboard Only

What an interesting sight it is, and shockingly beautiful as well! Lexus UK has managed to accurately construct a Lexus IS using ONLY cardboard. It is easy to tell from the picture how much detail clearly went into crafting such a magnificent replica of this one-of-a-kind luxury vehicle. Each cardboard panel had to be individually laser cut and then assembled with glue- and the interior is fully articulated. The entire vehicle took a grand total of three months to build and the attention to detail is absolutely incredible. The cardboard IS was built by Scales and Models, a company from London that builds prototypes. The company stated:

"Each layer was given its own reference number to help ensure it was assembled in the right sequence and the entire assembly was done by hand. A water-based wood glue was used, which had to be left to set for 10 minutes after each application. Accuracy was vital, as changes couldn’t be made once the glue had dried."

This concept was designed with light in mind, meaning that it is styled around the way that various surface shapes interact when coming into contact with light. In addition to the complex shape-design of the exterior, the intricate layered paint process further takes advantage of the lights lustrous qualities. The interior of the C2 mirrors the exterior in both quality and luxurious design.
