If you are car crazy, engine excited, and art-inclined you might enjoy this amazing take-home creation of V-12 Four Stroke Engine made origami style. It took two years to design such an incredible project that you can assemble at home...of course, a lesson or two in precise folding may be a smart investment before you attempt this complex model. Including 1978 pieces, CD-ROM and paper instructions sent or printed from a PDF, the origami art structure kit can be purchased at either $64.99 or $89.99, but the completed masterpiece will cost you $35,000! If you've got the time, and don't want to spend a good portion of your child's college fund on a paper project, you may want to opt for the less expensive, DIY kit. In any case, the finished product is stunning and its moveable parts mimic that of a true engine.
