It wasn’t “painstakingly modeled” it was painstakingly (modeled, printed out and filmed over four weeks). It was the entire process that was “painstaking,” although the phrase I would have used is “utterly, gloriously pointless,” considering there’s not even a clue that it exists in the real world. As it is, they missed a step, in that they then really should have scanned it and turned it back into computer geometry that they rendered as an animation.
