Nguyen, Cuong Hung
Folder: 
Adams, Sara
Diagrams in the book: 
Licence to Fold
Difficulty Level: 
Complex
Model type: 
Animals
Birds
Paper ratio: 
Square

Paper: 48cm square of double tissue, glued together with MC
Finished model: wingspan 22cm, body length 12.5cm

I recently made double tissue for the first time, and this is the first model I folded from that paper. Rudolf (http://www.faltkunst.de) had also challenged me: who would fold this eagle first? One week later, and I'm done. Rudolf, what's your status on the eagle?

It's my first fold of the eagle, and it's not as tidy as I'd like, but I'm happy that I managed to complete it.

Sara,

This is amazing!! Even thought it's your first try. It looks very complex too, based on the level of detail......great work!! I hope you won the challenge, too :D tee hee

Sara which one do you think it's the most complex? The eagle or the ancient dragon ?Both of them look super complex

Hm, I think the Ancient Dragon took me longer to complete. At this level of complexity I'd say time needed is the final, deciding factor. However, I like the eagle much better. :) I guess I'm not the dragon type... While I'm a bit reluctant to fold the ancient dragon a second time, I really want to fold the eagle again - not sure when I'll find the time, though.

I fear these models are too complex to be demonstrated in a video. Or, at least, I don't plan to make an instructional video on them. They take hours to fold, and explaining takes many times more than that.
