[OT] Paper dragon.

[Athas_orm]

Hi,

After a recient post on Gizmodo, I downloaded and made one of these paper dragons. This is really amazing. I'd suggest if you don't know what it is make one yourself and look at it with one eye closed. while moving.

Wow

Sorry for the very off topic topic. But give it a try.

I may have to try this out. It looks like fun! I am a big kid anyway!

So i spent 30min of my life cutting out this stupid little dragon and taping his head together "it looks backwards when you are making the folds". It was sooo worth it, maybe I am just easily amused but I cant wait to pick up the kids from school so they can see it.

Its hard to tell on the net. Now I'm not sure if your being sarcy or you find it as amusing as I do.

Its cool isn't it?

I just made one - the photographs you can make with it are interesting - it`s really cool, very very cool indeed.

Some. Sadly, just not enough. I'm still tired from the last time I made a paper dragon....

If you want lenses (or a battery grip for the 5D) for your papercraft cameras, you might want this link:

Or, if you're not a Canon geek, there's the Olympus papercraft:

Personally, I think some of the tougher models out there are the Yamaha motorcycle ones:

(you have to see the YZF-R1's accessory kit. The drawers in the toolchest actually open and have tiny paper tools in them.)

Although, let's face it, the V12 engine with moving parts and paper bearings is probably the toughest:
