I like this, the posture/stance is sort of what I expect (after watching Jurassic Park) and I like how you get the vestigial arms seemingly from nowhere. I like how the shadow makes it more menacing as well, accidental photos using obscure light sources can result in nice happenstances sometimes.
Nice model, interesting manipulation of the bird-base, first time I tried it – you can try it too at http://www.fishgoth.com/origami/diagrams/velociraptor.pdf
A cute plesiosaur, or loch-ness monster (but waay to cute to be scary).
One square of A4 photocopy paper – looks more like a juvenile as the neck-body proportions are a bit out for an adult (well, that is my story and I am sticking to it)
This is, in my opinion, a masterpiece of pre-folding, you make one model, unfold it and bend it into another model. I pride myself of folding this from memory – not bad given I have not folded it in at least 15 years.
One piece of paper (photocopy A4 is not great as it frays after 3 or 4 creases on the same line) cut square, no additional cuts, no glue – all class.
Design by Jack Skillman, USA, 1965 (I first saw it in a Robert Harbin “Origami 2” book I own)
I rather like the expression on the face, position of ears and body stance of this model – not bad for a first time fold.
Fold found here: http://synconi.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d2qno4x have a go yourself – you know you want to.
One sheet of paper, rectangle 2×1, folded prior to this project started but the inspiration for it so it is a fitting first
I like this model as the tail is fully articulated – it stands up as a display for the male peacock. Folded during a particularly boring exam supervision (whilst still being vigilant)
So I decided to move this project to a blog, because it lets me index and be a little cleverer, sorry for any poor sod trying to actually follow this project as it has jumped around a bit.
My aim – 365 models, one per day for a year. Ambitious and scary actually – no idea if I can do it, willing to give it a try.
For your reference, the models, when photographed, are standing on a block of note paper some 17cm long. I will try to remember to include in the tag what shape paper is used to make it and what base it is derived from (if any) and if I remember the Designer of the model.
Rules (attempted guidelines at least):
…wish me luck
