Well, Origami House sells it for 57 USD what is currently 34 GBP and includes shipping and handling. Be sure to pay in Dollar though because the Euro price of 52 EUR is 44 GBP, a whole 10 Pounds more!

Here's my latest attempt (its actually the third one). I tried for a more natural look, but i have found that sometimes you have to give up tidyness to get good shaping, especially to curve the tail.

what paper do you use?

origamifinch · Post by **origamifinch** » August 5th, 2009, 7:32 pm

Um if your talking to me probably foil paper, but where do you get big foil paper from ?

Ragnorax · Post by **Ragnorax** » August 5th, 2009, 9:30 pm

you can order 50x(some long amount)cm rolls of foil from Nicholas Terry's website for a reasonable price. I ordered two rolls myself, although i havent folded an ancient dragon from it yet.

Heres a link to his site: http://www.origami-shop.com

The foil is under "metallic" and now it seems the selection of foil has gone down

but you can still buy the green, red, and blue rolls of foil. A few months ago there was a larger selection... i wonder what happened.

Thanks but do you know any places u can just get one sheet ?
because I don't have much money I spent it on ordering the works of (the name I cant remember)
still waiting for it to come in the post.
I don't think I can afford the paper I might have to use a big sheet of tracing paper or just big paper from a stationary shop for about 90p-£2.50

A cheap way to get large, relatively good paper is tissue foil. There are many topics about it-just use the search function. Basically it is a sheet of aluminum foil with sheets of colored tissue paper glued with spray adhesive to one or both sides. It holds its shape very well and is thin, but there are some drawbacks to it. Another alternative is to make double tissue-this is two sheets of tissue paper glued together with methylcellulose. Again, there are many topics about methylcellulose (MC).

Thanks, I think I'm going to use the tissue foil.
