See all Show me
Didn't want to venture out with all the snow, so I spent a little time making a new paper creature. 9 hours later, we have a lucky dragon. I timelapsed it, but since that was 9 minutes, I sped it up even more in iMovie.

Make your own with printouts from Canon: cp.c-ij.com/english/3D-papercraft/lucky/chinesedragon_e.html

    Yes, Mei was definitely involved. She kept taking tooth picks, rolling around in the excess paper...

    Wow. I didn't think the dragon was going to be so large. And it's really cool looking. How fast did it burn?
  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    Yeah, I had no idea how big it'd be when I started. I imagine it wouldn't last too long if a match got close.

  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    There were a few moments where I had to think about things, but they got cut out with the time lapse.

    Does your hand hurt from all the scissoring?
  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    Yeah, it did. I had to alternate having my pointer finger inside and outside of the scissors handle.

    This, I believe, is the third time I have watched this video. Your perseverance astounds me; amazing!
  • Ben Millett 1 year ago
    Thanks! This was pretty easy compared to the papercraft I'm working on now. I think I'm about halfway done with it, and it's taken 16.5 hrs. Hopefully I'll finish it soon and post the video.
