Image source: Designed and Folded by 簡單的度過-2 Here’s another quite cute looking dinosaur. Image source: Microraptor Gui, Deisgned and Folded by Tran Trun Heiu I love how the wings end up as a different colour. Here’s a very different and amazing looking dinosaur from Tran Trun Hieu. Image source: Diplodocus, Designed by Fernando Gilgado Gomez and Folded by Luc MARNAT I think this little Diplodocus is kind of cute. Image source: Ichthyovenator laosensis, Designed and Folded by Tran Trung Hieu It uses 2-coloured paper so you end up with a different colour for the sail along the back. Here’s another incredible dinosaur design from Tran Trung Hieu. Image source: Gigantosaurus, Designed and Folded by Shuki KatoĬrease pattern available from Shuki Kato’s Flickr It’s folded from a single square of paper and that includes all those individually folded teeth! It took Shuki Kato 15 hours to fold this thing. Image source: Iguanodon, Designed by Nicolas Gajardo Henriquez and Folded by Hiroaki Kobayashi I quite like how those thumbs look in this paper version. The Iguanadon is a pretty awesome dinosaur and is known for it’s thumb-like claws. Image source: Anzu Wyliei, Designed and Folded by Tran Trung Hieuįollow Tran Trung Hieu on Flickr or Facebook I love the claws in this model and the paper he used is beautiful as well. Tran Trung Hieu is definitely a master of origami dinosaurs so of course we have to include some of his work. Image source: Deinonychus, Designed by Satoshi Kamiya and Folded by 簡單的度過-2 The claws on the hands and feet look really great here. Satoshi Kamiya also designed this really awesome Deinonychus. Satoshi Kamiya’s Coelophysis is one of my favourite origami dinosaurs and it’s actually not that difficult to fold! Image source: Coelophysis, Designed by Satoshi Kamiya and Folded by Mariano Zavala B.ĭiagrams available in Works of Satoshi Kamiya 1995-2003 Image source: Stegosaurus, designed by Kawahata Fumiaki and Folded by Matthew Groves You can kind of see how many layers of paper are in the back to make room for those spikes. The individual spikes on the back are very impressive. Image source: Brachiosaurus, Designed by Shuki Kato and Folded by Alex Mironenkoĭiagrams available in Tanteidan Magazine #151 Shuki Kato designed an awesome Brachiosaurus and Alex Mironenko did a really great job wet folding this one. Image source: T-Rex, Designed by Fumiakai Kawahata and Folded by Eyalĭiagrams available in Origami Tanteidan Magazine #150 Here we have a fantastic pair of T-Rexes. Image source: Styracosaurus, Designed and Folded by Kaede Nakamura Finding a way to fold all those horns couldn’t have been easy. Kaede Nakamura has designed an excellent Styracosaurus. If you follow my tutorial to create a dinosaur and wish to post the result as artwork either here or elsewhere, please credit the design you used to create the model.Dinosaurs continue to be some of my favourite things to fold so in this post we’re going to take a look at another fantastic round of origami dinosaurs. Anyway, it's probably an idea that's been reinvented many times with slight variation.Īlthough very similar to several other patterns I have seen, I did develop this version of a simple bird base dinosaur myself and therefore hope that my choice of details is at least somewhat unique. I have seen other similarly simple bird base dinosaurs elsewhere too, but can't recall the authors. This design is very similar both in initial steps and final appearance to the Struthiomimus in John Montroll's book, 'Prehistoric Origami: Dinosaurs and Other Creatures.' However, the relative top and bottom of the design are reversed, and the hind legs are handled differently. However, I have almost never needed to wet fold this design provided the folds are crisply made. Thicker and/or very difficult paper may require wet folding just on the legs to make them stay put. Well I don't have a working TV as of June 12th, so guess what I've been doing.
