This Russian Playground Has Tanks

Omsk was a fortified border town from the beginning of its history. The passage of time has not altered that character. Even the playgrounds are heavily defended, in this case by a T-34-85. Government officials discarded old Soviet tanks, welded them shut, then left them in the playground as the greatest possible toys that young boys could hope for. View more pictures at the link.

Unlike Paul Overton, I have never thought about the limits of paper sculpting, so my mind isn't really blown.

That said, it's very neat. That quote just seemed random.

This is made of paper. And skill and love. Those, too.

SnatchaFatCable: I'm not even an artist, and I think I know that if you're going to do art in any medium, you (should) never think about the limits of the medium but your own mind. Ka-pow!

I just know that I don't have the patience to discover what it takes to make a work like this. So, mind blown, a little.
