Inspired by this topic I played around with this model again... and turned it into a 3-headed dragon
(folded from about 10cm x 10cm of Japanese foil)
Sorry for the poor quality of the pictures, after taking about a hundred of them I decided that they wouldn't get any better (Note: foil paper isn't the best for being photographed).
This model was derived by changing the two wings into necks with heads. The folding sequence stays basically the same, except for some very small differences. I think this model works quite well as a three-headed dragon, except for the lack of a real body.

So long and keep folding ^_^

3 headed dragon
WAY COOL!
That is impressive! I love it when people take my models and go beyond what I've diagramed.
BTW Has anyone tried any of these:
making a fire breathing version
rearing
glider (Yes it can be done!)
crimping the neck to make neck ridges
sleeping
wings folded up

Just call me Charles. Mr. Esseltine if you have to be all formal! 8^}GLIDER? Do you have any diagrams or are you selling it Mr.Charles?
The same diagrams are used. All that changes are the angle of the wings, position of the head, neck, and tail. Oh and use a piece of very light foil, or florist foil to fold it. The foil will allow for sharper creases, and more strength to the wings. And foil dosn't suffer from creep, spread, or sag, like most papers do.
You don't have to 'modify' them as much as position them like the wings they are. The curves on the wing tips should be smaller, and the angel of the wings should be rather flat, and as long as possible.Well, I guess for a Dragon-Glider you will have to modify the wings a bit to make them larger which would enhance the gliding ability.
As mentioned above, you will have to keep tweeking it until it works.Also you'll have to experiment a bit with the position of head and tail to stabilise the flight.

Ummm.... the video posted by Anna on the first page of this topic deals with exactly those steps... also it would be better to refer to the steps by number because they are easier to find that way.
So long and keep folding ^_^
