Is this type of paper good for folding the Ancient Dragon by Satoshi Kamiya?

It depends on where you get it...

Depends on your folding level.

i've been disappointed with origami-shop for a while. it took them around 3 months to send me 'origami sequence' and it took even longer for my sheet of origamido a few years ago. now they are charging a TON for this paper which can be bought a lot cheaper from people who have already bought some in bulk from a supplier. Then i go on and see this: 'The size is 64x64cm approximately. It may vary for some sheets and so in a few case, the square is not perfect (we do not cut it ourselves).
Also, all sheets of "Crumpled - Black" have 2 small holes inside the sheet (1 mm diameter).
More over, all sheet of color "Crumpled - Brick Red" has a small cut on a edge. You will have to cut a new square in the sheet removing 3 mm of paper on a edge. By ordering this paper, you accept these possible defects!'

i'm sure nicolas gets it from the manufacturer, slater. and no, it's not a perfect square, but it is rectangular so it's easy to get a square.

What kind of shipping did you pay for? If you put it on the slow boat, it's not really much to do with the shop. My two orders have taken 5-6 weeks, which isn't bad given that I chose the cheapest possible shipping.

I received email notifications when the order was shipped; in my case they were quite quick to get it out.

strange, i always choose the cheapest shipping option and it gets here in usually less than 3 weeks.
on average, 1 or 2. At the most i have ever had, 3 months, but that was because of a customs screw up xD

That makes sense ... slow boat takes 1-2 weeks to get from where you are to where I am. So not that strange.

doesn't work like that. if you're going to make a public claim, you have to defend it in public. make the VOG paper into this:

no glue, no wire, no painting, not one drop of methylcellulose.

I don't have a flickr and don't plan to have one anytime soon. I can email you the picture, but that's about all I can do.

Go to http://anony.ws/ or any of the other bazillion anonymous image hosters, click upload, add your picture, all done. I mean, seriously...
