We found it, and with great determination we undertook the challenge to make it. Alas, after we had all the paper folded and begun to piece it together we hit a wee snag... We cannot manage to make the structure curve.
Despite many emails to the creator of this initial dragon, I've had no response. I was curious if anyone had any suggestions as to how we might be able to get the dragon to curve?
I've never tried any of that sort of modular origami, but I've seen photos of all kinds of curved shapes made with it before. Your best bet is probably to investigate some other models that use that same modular technique, and maybe you'll find the answers you need in one of those.
ah, i love this type of origami. bend the triangles out a little each time you lay a row. it helps to glue 'em in place.
can you post a link to the diagrams so we can get an idea?
