      He has made really amazing complex balls. I want to know how can such stuff be made?

        If you download one of his models and turn off the shadows and fog you can see that he has left some patterns and assembly examples for the piece. Fascinating for sure.

          Can you pin point exactly the file that you're talking about? I guess he left the template for an average user, but I want to know "start from scratch method"

                  However, I found this link on warehouse profile. Is this same link which one should visit to learn about these complex structures?
