This is a W40k Iron Warriors Dreadnought.

It's made out of paper, except the head (plastic) and some details on left arm.

Impressive!
After seeing the huge Megaton Recycler (http://cardboard-warriors.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=industrynews&action=display&thread=2867) I thought about trying to paint over paper models in heavy cardstock, but never got around to do it. Did you have to use some kind of sealant before painting?

Great job! It's good to see different styles of paper miniatures and interesting to see paper used as a sculpting material instead of just a modeling form. More like forming the paper to shape and less like paper cut outs. I'd love to hear about you process in making this miniature. How big is it? Do you start with patterns? What glue do you use?

I didn't used any sealant. I used paints that don't need water.

The miniature is about 8-9 cm high. I used PVA glue, its good for wood and paper, cheap, non toxic (i think) and colorles.

He certainly looks awesome. Do you use him in gaming?

Impressive. I recon "Humbrol-like" enamel paint for the tiny pot and LIDL acrilic for the tube, am i right?
Question: the PVA glue is used "massively" as a hardener or just to attach the pieces? The model seems pretty "hard"...

I used paint for plastic models because I didn't wanted to buy golden acrylic paint. So I used old supply.

I used PVA just to glue parts together. The model is hard because I used 180 g/m^2 paper (some times couple layers glued together).

It's a good thing I'm submitting for the multifigure category, because I don't think I could beat such a cool paper sculpt.

This is on par with Tirick's 3D figurine madness (though I think, Tirick is just one micro-inch more insane, cause he wants his minis to be POSABLE ;D). As WaffleM mentioned, totally different paradigm of paper modeling. It has a lot to do with the big scale question: when do you have to turn to full-detailed 3D bossies, when will flat paper lose its magic ? The borderline could be thin here ... .
This mini is an example, that you can build just EVERYTHING out of sturdy paper. Great.
