It will be: birds, planes, insects, animals, ...

When I saw this topic I immediately thought of a box pleated kite.
From a 1x10 rectangle.

Wow! Great idea!

The kite looks really good. What is a microraptor?

Thanks. That is a pretty good microraptor. This is a very good topic- lots of varied responses, all very impressive.

I made this for a challenge on the French forum. Since it's a bird and birds fly, I figured it would be elligible for this challenge as well.

Woodstock

Not to be rude or anything, but the rules states that whatever you fold must be in flight, or at least with wings, and you model has neither...

[Jonnycakes]

Woodstock most certainly has wings (and does fly).

My bad, sorry Sunburst.
