Welcome to the forum!
Hope you enjoy being here

For those dragons, I think you mean Satoshi Kamiya's two models, both digrammed in his book. See it here: http://www.giladorigami.com/BO_Kamiya.html

I must warn you though, those models are very complex and need skill to complete.

EDIT: oh yeah, if you're looking for free diagrams for tons of models, go here:

The diagrams for Bahamut and Ancient Dragon are both in Works of Satoshi Kamiya which you can see...

There are several threads on this forum that contain lists of recommended books to buy for various skill levels-use the search function on the forum to find them. My personal recommendations are Origami Sea Life by Lang and Montroll (contains a great variety of models from very simple to very difficult, all of which are entertaining to fold) and Origami Design Secrets by Lang (great for someone wanting to learn about CPs or designing, but otherwise I would not recommend it).

welcome men! that motivated me also to join the comunity of origami, those dragons rock! first, try to get that book

then, buy a giant paper and start folding! if u dont have experience i recomend you to do some other nice and easier models like the master joda, the diagram is on the internet... it's the first model i folded by the way

in satoshi's book there is a page where indicates all the creases you'll have to do, practice with that and when you master it, go on with the dragons
