It Seems Almost Impossible,

that these models,


 are made with nothing more than packaging-grade cardboard and tracing paper, plus a few finishing touches added with LED lighting and glass accessories,

 in his working life Greg Olijnyk is a graphic designer focused on 2-D digital projects, but in his free time he makes these, as part of his engineering efforts, 

 Olijnyk incorporates movement and articulation, 

 His robot limbs are movable, and wheels rotate,

 in some of his works, the designer even incorporates solar panels and small motors to activate various components, 

 Olijnyk notes that he admires fellow Melbourne-based sculptor Daniel Agdag, who creates similarly fanciful worlds using precisely manipulated cardboard,

you can see more from Olijnyk’s studio as he starts new projects and shares the process on Instagram, I find it amazing to think theses are all made from cardboard that has no special qualities to it, just the normal boxes that we use every so often.
