@TheSuperduperzach Well, this one used 121 pieces for the body and 124 for the head, but the body doesn't really have to be 121. You can use more to make a longer dragon, that would be cool~
In the meantime, the best things I can tell are that for a better tut on making triangles, I suggest you check out jewellia7777's channel; she's very good at this stuff.
If it's the building part, I regret to inform you that I can't explain the steps with simply words. I apologize for my ineptitude and if you are willing to wait, I might be able to remake this tut and have it up by early March. Sorry again!
@mitzielarocco Wow, really? Thanks lol I personally think I should re-do this where instead of photos, I just record myself building it. I feel like that might work better.
@BLOCKmaster77 It's a form of origami known as 3D origami. It's kind of like modular origami in the sense that the whole structure is composed of identical origami pieces and then it differs by the way it's built. This kind of origami just builds on top of each other like blocks whereas modular can interlock pieces at various angles.
@crallakis4 That's odd, the kit only supplied enough to make one with 245 pieces...Plus an additional stack to make something swirl around it but I didn't want it...
@tim000able lol Because it's so mesmerizing or because it's too confusing that you need to watch it several times to understand? lol Regardless, I really need to get around to remaking this tutorial...I most likely will not get to it until next year, though...
@tim000able Oh my gosh I did not even see this until now, I'm sorry. The forelimbs are just slipped in between flaps, not really into any pocket of any sorts so you have to glue it for it to stay on the body. The head is also just glued on, there's no pockets or anything for it to slide into to connect to the neck. Hope it helps and sorry for not seeing this sooner!
@BlackRoseFairy20 I don't know the whole history, but based off Robert Lang's view; Yes. One sheet of paper and nothing else. Things with two pieces or cutting are usually a stepping stone for beginners and somewhere in the middle of it there was modular origami which are several units of the same thing assembled together to form a geometric shape and then at some point somebody came up with this cuter style of modular origami. At least... that's how I /think/ it goes...Accuracy fail.
@Kw61026 Yayy origami makes school so much more fun~
As for curving, just shape the pieces to however you want it to look. So if you want it to curve up, just sort of bend the structure and it's okay to be rough because you can always just put the pieces back together. Once you have the look that you want, you can add glue in between the spaces to hold it all together.
I can still remember the day i started with 3D origami....
I was finding a paper origami the flat one for a dragon and my search engine showed me this video of a 3D origami dragon and i accidentally clicked on the video and wallah i became interested in doing 3D origami and i really want to thank you for creating such a marvel ^^)
@TheKatrinabutterfly I'm sorry! One day, I'll make a better tutorial, I swear! In the meantime, please settle for just pausing it every so often or something...
@hopeplus123 There is a kit that'll supply you with it along with the instructions, although it's written in Korean...It has nice paper, though.
If a store like that does not exist near you, you'll probably have to do what I do; Cut 'em yourself. Not super fun, I know V.V If you have a paper cutter, it will be very helpful to you.
@FireTalons LOL What I tried to portray in the vid was to turn the head upside down. Then, break off a portion of the body, slab glue onto the neck area, and jab it into the right spot on the upside-down head and sort of keep it balanced by clamping it with a hand. Hope that helped~
Pretty good, like the music very much. I think it would make the video much better if you how the dragon look like at the front so that viewer can estimate how the part will be.
@cscchua Yeah, I didn't have too many shots from different angles, did I? Well, if I manage to get my lazy butt to start another dragon on, I will definitely keep this in mind. Thanks!
@thecraftykids That actually sounds like a pretty good idea. Someone else also suggested that I make a version where I actually build it. The problem I'm having right now is that this Windows Live Movie Maker doesn't seem to have a thing where I can speed up video clips...Unless I just haven't found it but I searched multiple times...I'll see what I can do.
hey I bought the exact same thing except in gold/red version from korea before i came to the US. I managed to find the box brand new, and its been about 4 years since. The instruction paper only showed how to make the triangle, and pictures -___-x.. so i found this video extremely helpful. but...
How do i attach the head and the jaw together?
oh and another fun detail you can add to the dragon is get 120 30x60mm paper(small one) and have it kind of curve around the dragon :)
@jetplain1919 Haha I'm not surprised you found this exact same thing in Korea: This came from a kit I had purchased. Does "Jong Ie Nara" sound familiar to you :P? I altered the head and omitted the whiskers and spiral around the dragon due to personal preferences.
To attach the head and jaw, it's similar to attaching the neck to the head. You'll have to glue the larger end of the jaw to the bottom of the head and hold it there until the glue dries. Hope that made sense!
@sharkfrenzy3000 Wowie. That is some hardcore concentration. That is truly commendable. Well done! And lol to your girlfriend, she must miss you so much~
@xXIReFLeXIx Yeah, I just wanted to try out a different style..didn't work out so well as you can see lol Next time I make a dragon, I'll record myself actually building it...Or try anyways >_<
@elenaestella Unfortunately, I had to put it off a lot so I ended up starting and stopping and starting and stopping. I never kept track of the time...If I were to make a good guess, I would say from the start of cutting out the dang paper to gluing it all together, I would say 2 weeks? I work kind of slow, so you might be able to do get one done sooner than that.
@SRGMEW lol Thanks, but the one who is even more awesome is whoever came up with the template. I'm going to credit "Jong Ie Nara" which appears to be the company that manufactured this little box of goodies lol
