All of the models below are rather simple ones of mine, so I expect there will be many similar ones floating around. I did all of the models with 30cm paper that is quite thick. It's bad for folding things any more complex than these designs, but finished models from it feel absolutely delicious when using that paper. It's also the best paper I have currently for photographing, since I prefer to use 15cm or smaller foil paper usually.

The very first thing I designed myself (I was 8 or 9 at the time I think). This particular fold of it is recent though.

Somewhat accidental design resulting from trying to graft a triceratops out of a much older dinosaur design I had. So, the Triceratops below is mainly an inside-out walrus.

This particular model had a bit of a mishap unfortunately just after I folded it. I had to apply a very small drop of glue at the top of the hips to seal the coated, colored side of the paper and prevent it from cracking down the leg. I've not had that issue with thinner paper. Still, this one seemed to photograph better.
I wasn't sure how many of these I should stick in one post, so I'll leave it there for now.
The legs are definitely better on the right, although I think the tissue foil helps the eyes hold their shape better. The piece of paper for the one on the left was rather messy even before folding (I glued my hand to it when trying to apply the tissue...live and learn). Subsequent attempts at tissue foil making and crab folding have been looking closer to the one on the right with cleaner folds on the legs, although the creases are still quite stubborn on the carapace.
