Description
Looking back through my snowflakes, I came to realize that my older ones are nowhere near as detailed as the newer ones. Guess that means I'm improving. Anyway, the original G1 flake seems incredibly simple to me now, so I decided to redo it. And here is the result of that.Time spent: Three and a half hours cutting it out, which is the longest I've taken on any flake so far, but only half an hour more than on the original G1Flake, so I'm getting faster too. The planning and sketching stage was a bit ridiculous at around six hours. But so worth it.

Yes it is. The almost ten hours of work were worth it.

Oh my wow! This is exquisite! I love how you incorporated several important elements from the G1 series into this: the 'Bot and 'Con emblems, of course, but there's also Vector Sigma and the Autobot Matrix of Leadership there! Lovely encapsulation of what I consider to be the important elements of the G1 series.
And as I look at it now, I look at my own hand, and think: "I can never do that without breaking every single bone in my hand." The detail that went into this is mind-boggling - which only adds to the beauty of it.

There's the Ark and the Nemesis in there too. Or at least vague outlines of them. Definitely the most amount of 'stuff' I've put into any of my flakes thus far.
Broken bones aren't a problem. Hand cramps however, are another story.

That is absolutely amazing and very very beautiful. *is one of the DZ people Kenya had mentioned*. Wow, that's some talent.

I can't believe that's one of the snowflakes that you cut out of paper! I usually fold it up and hack away at it until it's in danger of falling in half! You must have unending patience to manage that. Awesome!

People's opinions vary from 'Damn, you're incredibly patient' to 'Damn, you're freaking crazy'.

Well there's nothing too bad in either of those

Thanks muchly.
Think people would be interested in a tutorial on how to make these crazy flakes?

I wouldn't doubt it. I know I'm interested. (Probably couldn't pull it off myself, though -- my eye-hand coordination sucks.)

I took photos of every step of making this one, so if I put one together, it'll be creative lunacy behind this one that you see.
