Agreed, I spent ages looking online for a detailed how to, it would seem none exists.
Also, the camera's creator refers to an Epson gt-s620 scanner, and the only place it seems to exist outside Japan is in articles about this guy, grr

I had an old scanner dis-assembled to do something similar a while back. I then did a switcheroo and turned it into that paper negative based LF camera that I made.

It's not complicated, you stick a scanner onto the back of a light-tight box with a lens at the front. You can get a little more sophisticated than that, but not much more so. Commercial large and medium format scanning backs use a similar principal.
