Princess Leia giving R2-D2 the Death Star plans. "This was the very first one I did," Hagan-Guirey says. "The original was very simple and I've gone back to it a few times since. Always tinkering."

This is the particularly difficult freezing chamber Hagan-Guirey created, complete with Han Solo trapped in carbonite. "My main challenge was to try and get the crane grips as close to Han in the frozen block as possible," he says. "It's probably been through five revisions."

Marc Hagan-Guirey04Endor
This is Hagan-Guirey's Endor. "I'm always in two minds about including foliage in models," he says. "I feel it detracts from the architectural aspect of kirigami but by my own example I'm moving kirigami into scenes related stuff and not just buildings. And of course... It's Endor, it can't not have trees!"

Marc Hagan-Guirey06Hoth1
"I love this," Hagan-Guirey says of his recreation of the Battle of Hoth. "The whole section on Hoth is one of my favourites in the original saga. This one has a trench with canons running through it. I get giddy about adding as much detail as possible."

Marc Hagan-Guirey08Jabba
Hagan-Guirey's notes on Jabba's sail barge are simple: "Complete with Sarlacc pit, minus digitally added weird beak thing."
Marc Hagan-Guirey09MillenniumFalcon
Hagan-Guirey's Millennium Falcon. "I'm pretty pleased with this one. I look at it and think 'Yep, that's the Falcon made from an A4 piece of paper.' If you look to the left you can see Vader and Kenobi dueling."
