Flickr user 'IAmThatOneGuy' has created a 'Life Size Papercraft Samus Aran' which stands at a massive 6'10." The entire thing was made with only glue and paper and still manages to be extremely detailed, making Samus even more badass than he already is in the game.
To make this gigantic statue, IAmThatOneGuy used gaming models from Metroid Prime 2 as his base of where to go. The chest, legs, arm cannon, shoulders and helmet were all made separately, then pieced together using only glue. It's remarkable that the statue manages to stand strong despite its weak materials.
This piece of epic gaming artwork is currently without a home. All hardcore gamers, art collectors and arcades should look into it.
