4.0 out of 5 stars Pieces of dinosaur, August 20, 2001

This review is from: Jurassic Origami (Paperback)

Most of the models in this book are modular: This means that you make the head and body sections separately and then glue them together. There is also some cutting involved, but only in one or two of the designs.

The benefit of modular origami, is that it is possible to get more detail into the models and these dinosaurs really do look great once they are finished. They are quite easy to adapt, so you can put them in different poses.

Another good thing about this book, is the scale chart at the back. This tells you, in centimetres, which size squares to use if you want to produce dinosaurs that are to scale with one another. So your Veloceraptor won't tower over your T-Rex.

This review is from: Jurassic Origami (Paperback)

This book contains dozens of dinosaurs. All are beautiful and easy to fold. The only (and probably the crucial) disappointments of this book are the following two: almost all models here are not created in one single paper, and most are flat models. But if you do not care about the mainstream rule of origami world---one square, no cut---than this is a pretty good book for intermediate folders.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent origami book!, April 12, 1999

This review is from: Jurassic Origami (Paperback)

This book has 20 different models of dinosaurs from the Jurassic period. Most of them do require 2 sheets of paper but they are the most realistic dinosaur models I have ever seen. I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to make origami dinosaurs.
