It Started With A Pile Of Cardboard…

No matter how much you love Ironman, your admiration won’t compare to this piece of fan-art created by Taiwanese art student Kai-Xiang Xhong.

It took the 20 year-old cardboard artist a full year to complete Tony Stark’s Ironman suit, using only cardboard. You wouldn’t think that this medium would work well, but the resulting suit (complete with lights) is amazing.

Kai-Xiang Xhong well-known for the creations he makes out of cardboard other household items.

It even lights up in the chest and arms, just like it does in the movies.

It’s truly hard to believe this is just corrugated cardboard.

Too bad the Spongebob Squarepants slippers didn’t remain on the sculpture.

They were a pretty sweet addition.
