    This kind of paper artwork is somewhat popular in Japan.
    Basically, if you can make or get a 3d model of something, assembling a paper model if it isn't that hard to do. There's even software for this.

    Check out their gallery for more examples.

    There are also models of starships from Homeworld, Babylon 5, Star Wars and Star Trek here.

    Of course, paper models by no means are limited to static sculptures. My girlfriend got me one of these and it was remarkably simple to assemble, yet very impressive.
    Very neat stuff.
