Last year my brother have me the #unseenuniversity cut out book (which I haven't finished yet), this year I got this for Christmas:
Estimated build time is 7h - but it took longer, especially the quadruple looping was really tricky. Had to rip it completely out and build it new as it was impossible to fine-tune the first build.
And then I was too tired to make a video, this pictures and this post so I made them in the morning. Stupid of me to not take more pictures in progress ... but at least:
