A group of artists / modeling experts in China spent 48-days building a 1:1 scale cardboard replica of the Merkava MK4 Israeli battle tank, and it’s currently on display at the Hobby Expo China (HEC) International Model Expo in Beijing.
Not much is known in the way of what tools were used, but social media users do state that around 5,000 cardboard parts were used, and it weighs in at 1-ton. Unfortunately (or fortunately), you’re not able to climb inside, nor is the cannon functional.

I’m no artist, but if I had to guess, the team behind this project started the project by designing and printing all the parts on sheets of corrugated cardboard, before spending days assembling everything. Even the detailed tank tracks are made exclusively from cardboard, using interlocking tubes.
