leaf tailed lizard model. It's not 'pure' origami (multipiece, and knotology) but it's brilliant, there is youtube video aswell, it can move

Very nice!

I'll spend the rest of my afternoon picking out an animal I want to design, and maybe do some test folds

It's an alpaca

I have no clue what so ever what that is. I looked at it for 5 minutes and still couldn't figure out what side the head was on haha. Maybe the non-latin name would help!

yes #9 with out a latton name would help... you have a flicker right? you could ask the prison who took the picture
and I think I will find an animal to design too :]

found one more http://www.flickr.com/photos/g2pix/3017435136/ I will check it out later

I knew I already saw one of these, it's a mountain goat, done by montroll

Ps tried to come up with a cotton top mandarin and failed, and tried a astaria, the bird with the enormous tail feathers. Did create something else, but i'm not sure what it is...

I'm attempting a Ribbon Tailed Astaria right now. The color change doesn't look too complicated, but I'm probably just saying that because the only thing that I've designed is an elf with 10 too many flaps, it's out of proportion and impossible to collapse(I haven't collapsed it yet).

EDIT: I'm doing it with book symmetry, with the head behind a center flap with nothing above it to shorten it and make it smaller in proportion with the tail.

sounds good dragon can't wait to see it
and for this topic hear is one http://www.fotosearch.com/FSD484/x16268796/ and I am going to look through this link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_extinct_animals too find more
[edit] my design failed too but I am going to try the Ribbon Tailed Astrapia with a colour change tail now

@ dragon: I'm really wondering how it will look. I destroyed 4 pieces of homemade tissuefoil and still couldn't come up with a way to make two huge flaps to create the tailfeathers. Maybe I'll give it another try.

I am box pleating with a 64 x 64 grid, and the tail flap is the whole bottom half of the paper.

EDIT: My first try kind of worked, although I messed up on the collapse and the legs were too small, I'll retry it with larger legs. The tail is huge compared to the rest of the model.

Sounds sweet. Just did another owl while watching tv, also boxpleated. It's just the only model I ever done that looked nice using boxpleated. I'll have to practice that stuff more!

@ dragon I am trying the same idea with a 32*32 grid and the tail is a lot bigger than the body but this is my first box pleating design so It turned out a fail I will show a picture when I finish my school

hear is for this topic It is probably already done but I want to check http://www.hickerphoto.com/picture/frat ... -35199.htm

the puffin diagrams can be found hear http://www.orihouse.com/myroom/diagrams ... rsnick.pdf
