Here is a better version of my African Elephant. The trunk is more rounded and it shows the colour-changed tusks.

Greater Flamingo - Asymmetric
Designed and folded by me from a single square Sept 2008

This was a challenge set to me by, well, myself.
The problem was to get a Flamingo to stand by itself on one leg without any aid (ie wire, glue, etc).
I changed an earlier version of my Greater Flamingo into an asymmetric design to make a webbed foot on one leg only.
The layering is pretty thick in the footed leg, so I used MC tissue paper to get the legs thin.
I think the problem is now solved!

Great Flamingo, Quentin!

very nice Flamingo, is it open on the other side?

Thanx guys!
Kafar, I don't understand your question, open on which side?
It has a closed back and the body and neck is the same on the back side of the model as on the side you can see in the photo.
There is some more info on my flickr site about the model.

I was just curious how assymetrical it is, that it can stand on one leg

Oh, only the legs are asymmetrical. The left leg has about 3x the weight of the right leg due to the increased amount of layers. The right leg does not have any extra layers to form a foot like on the left leg.
Two corners form the left leg, one corner forms the right leg - I hope that makes sence!
The rest of the model is symmetrical.

And probably one corner makes the head and the "tail" is from the center or somewhere near of square, am I right, as I said before it's really nice model

Yes, that's right!

African White-backed Vulture.
Designed and folded by me Sept 2008 from an uncut square.
The main features to achieve here (for me) was the primary feathers (seen on the underside view) and the curced neck (seen in side view).

The wing span is 71% of the length of the initial square!

Nice ! The feet have a solid look, and I like how the head and neck are positioned. And the eyes fit in well.

Compares well with: http://www.kenyabirds.org.uk/wb_vulture2.htm

African White-Backed Vulture 1.2.
The neck is longer and the legs more under the body enabling it to stand unsupported.
