Today the Department of Teeny-weeny Wonders is out exploring a tiny paper city called Paperholm, a handmade miniature metropolis that’s being constructed one building at a time by Edinburgh-based artist Charles Young. While studying architecture at the Edinburgh College of Art, where he receive bachelor and masters degree, Young tough himself how to build paper and card models.

The first Paperholm structure was erected back in August when Young challenged himself to build a new paper building every day. He says that his model-making hobby helps him sketch and develop ideas for design projects. As the project has progressed his paper structures have grown increasingly intricate, taking anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours to create.

“Over the last three months I really got to know the material that I’m working with a lot better,” he tells us. “By trying to make different shapes with the paper you get to learn its limits in terms of how much it will bend and how finely you can cut it. The paper that I’ve been using is just ordinary watercolor paper but it has a good balance between its flexibility and its strength. The most important thing is simply to use a sharp blade to cut with, this allows you to get good straight edges and to pick out fine detail.”

Many of Young’s latest creations can be animated for utterly charming gifs like the ones seen above.

“Let me start by saying I wish no country had the need for an army. But in Israel, serving is part of being an Israeli. You’ve got to give back to the state. You give two or three years, and it’s not about you. You give your freedom away. You learn discipline and respect.
” - Gal Gadot
