Just crafted up a little trianglasaurus (my type of dinosaur; it doesn't exist ) from a not so evenly cut square of print paper. I don't really like dinosaurs that much but might aswell enter a model in this contest as it is the month of my birthday.
Simplicity ftw!
and the water breed of my dinosaur

Oviraptor. I wanted to include at least one feathered dino in my entries for this month. Oviraptor is frequently pictured with a large tail plume. Using colour changes, I wanted to give the impression of a brightly coloured tail display, and some arm plumage, too. I also wanted to create a beaky face, with Oviraptor's distinctive head-crest. The model is folded from a 40cm foil-backed tissue square, based on a 20x20 grid.
I once set up an origami PLC. But the business folded.

In case anyone is interested, that's because a least one oviraptorosaur, Caudipteryx, actually has a tail plume preserved (as do a few other, non-oviraptorosaurian theropods) -- see here for one of the better preserved specimens and here for a pretty good restoration of the living animal.Fishgoth wrote: Oviraptor is frequently pictured with a large tail plume.
I really like this Oviraptor model -- it's extremely attractive! Congratulations![/url]

Wow! This month has been a good one to watch indeed. I love that Velociraptor's arms.
I took the opportunity to flesh out my simple dinosaur list a bit more, the topic being one of my favorites and this thread being very inspirational. I hope this doesn't come accross as spamming. If it does, I apologize and will remove some pictures if wanted.
Iguanadon, from a modified version of the Parasaurolophus's base, since I realized I could get a color-changed thumb spike from some otherwise excess paper:
T. rex going "raaaarrrrr," very much inspired by the pose of Jared's wonderful Eoraptor:
Plesiosaurus:
And finally a rather abstract Ankylosaur:
The abstract Ankylosaur is a much simplified version of an older design of mine that has a bunch more segments to on the back and looked more realistic, but I was unhappy with the more complicated pattern since I couldn't get a reasonable fold of it without tissue foil (I don't think I've ever posted it because of that).
All are from 10cm squares again. Sorry for the dark photos - my home is a lot like a cave right now (the AC is broken, so I have to keep the lights off to be cool) and it has been too wet outside to use sunlight. I'm not sure if I'll have a chance to redo them before June runs out. Diagrams are mostly finished and will be up soon.
