Brooklyn Bridge From a Single Piece of Paper

Description

A paper sculpture of one of my favorite landmarks, the Brooklyn Bridge. Built using my usual rules:

+ Designed so that it can be cut out in one continuous piece, then folded

+ No adhesives

+ Cutting and folding only (no coloring, drawn details, etc.)

Measures 12" long (making use of the full length of the original sheet) and 2 1/6" high.

Designing and assembling this was very tricky as many of the pieces are small or thin, and from many angles there's no easy way to support this during assembly. Also, since this is all in one piece, any mistakes in cutting/folding would essentially mean I'd have to start from scratch again, and this is probably my most complex shape to date. Fortunately it all came together well, with some patience.

The final sculpture is pretty sturdy; you can see a stack of quarters balanced atop one of the towers in the last photo.
