https://tube.loping.net/videos/watch/59759a5a-a254-420c-b750-0d1a7ef87ad7 Two Chernobyl models. Hundreds of tiny details. And all of it — hand-made from paper and cardboard, without a single 3D print. In this video, we show you two unique projects our team built for the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant. The first is a full model of the entire site — all reactor units, the turbine hall, auxiliary buildings, and, of course, the New Safe Confinement and Sarcophagus of Unit 4. Look closer, and you’ll see rust, sealed windows, pipes, and textures — all recreated by hand. This model was designed to work with a plasma display underneath, visualizing processes, logistics, and networks at the plant. The second project is even more challenging: a scale model of the Interim Spent Nuclear Fuel Storage Facility (ISF-2). Using long tweezers and a lot of imagination, we rebuilt and detailed the forgotten model. Corridors, hot chambers, manipulators, ladders, insulation — all recreated using cardboard, wires, screws, straws... even old Soviet transistors! Both are display at the new ZonaArt Museum in Slavutych, the satellite city of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
