Paper models of our favorite Warcraft characters may not be the newest thing on the internet, but this latest one from the WoW EU forums adds a little twist. Syih of Talnivarr-EU has posted his life size paper Illidan, which received props from not only regular posters, but Vaneras as well.

In the full version of the picture, you can see just how tall this thing is standing alongside a chair and a dresser. It's not quite as tall as Illidan would actually be, but that doesn't change the fact that it's huge for a paper sculpture. Also, a truly life-sized Illidan would have a hard time fitting inside of your bedroom, I think. The wings aren't attached to this sculpture yet either, which will be a whole new level of awesome. Unfortunately, Syih says the wings are coming out a little too heavy for just paper to support. There's been some bending and tearing issues.

Syih has a few others as well: Thrall, Kael'thas, a tiny Dwarven Rifleman. They're all smaller than the Illidan statue, but all quite awesome. You can either check out Syih's thread on the EU forums, or take a look at our World of Papercraft gallery, which contains both Syih's work and that of previous Papercrafters.
