What are some models that look REALLY cool, and have a CP or diagram that can be folded in a reasonable amount of time?

ancient dragon by satoshi kamiya

that dragon takes a horrible long time to fold. everything that takes more than two hours is in my opinion out of the "reasonable amount of time". folding hours and hours for a single model can be very frustrating.

Fiery Dragon and by Kade Chan:

And Leviathan by Kade Chan:

Both can be done in under one hour (separately, not in total)

ugh... i tried the ancient dragon and finished
I failed catastrophically. The washi paper was way too thick and didn't hold creases. I'm using tissue paper next time.... if I even try it again.

The stuff out of Quentin's book.

I would say Robert Lang's Black Forrest Cuckoo Clock, but you've got to have paper at least 1.6 metres in length, and 16cm in width, and a lot of patience, as it is quite a complex model. Also the chuka Ryu, though I can't remember who folded it, and it is basically the same case as the BFCC.(large paper, very complex).
But if you want a tradeoff between stunning, and quick to fold, I think about 0% of all stunning models I have seen come with the bonus of being quick to fold, so if you want stunning, it's always going to take a while to fold the model!

Actually, there are tons of visually amazing models that can be folded in under 2 hours.
Half the models in quentin's book sequence can be folded in 1- 1 and a half hours.
Most of the stuff in Origami Essence and Interpreters are beautiful and can be folded in an hour.

My two cents:
Michael Lafosse: Cardinal
Rae Cooker: Strawberry
Patricia Crawford: Full Masted Ship
Neal Elias: The Last Dance
Emmanuel Mooser's - Box Pleated Train
Rokoan Connected Cranes - Renzuru, Senbazuru
Non-folders who see these models do not realize that they are Origami, and may not believe that they are from one sheet of paper.

Mr. Simon, Isn't it "The Last Waltz"? If so, I have to agree, that is definitely a beautiful model that non-folders won't believe is one piece.Neal Elias: The Last Dance

Yes, mine has a different, unintended implication.

You're welcome Mr. Simon.
As for my choice of model for diagrams, I'm going to have to go with the 3 headed dragon by Anibal Voyer. I brought it to school for a critique and the first question was "how many papers did that take you?" The funny part was that some of them refused to believe me when I told them it was only one square
