Green Pepakura Dragon

Description

While booting up Pepakura Viewer 3 the other day, I saw the dragon logo and thought... there's GOTTA be a model of him! (and I've kinda always wanted one*) So, when I googled him and found this yellow figure I was like... THAT IS SO COOL!!! (but also total bullshit*) I researched a little if there was a green version and there was one forum page that mentioned that the Pepakura site said it's featured in a sample pack when you pay for Pepakura Designer... but I didn't wanna do that.
I studied the pieces that were PDF and not PDO texture change available and thought there's no way I can edit these complex Cheesasaurus Rex parts. But with some hard work and determination, and 3 ALMOST sleepless nights, I managed to take the orange and pale and turn it into green and yellow!!! And I even took the dotted fold lines and made them into thick black solid ones just like he appears in the picture. (like the way it's SUPPOSED to look*) <333

If you would like to download the template, there are 4 images that are simply JPG files COMPLETLY edited by me on none other than Microsoft Paint. Right click, click Print, and make sure the "Fit picture to frame" is NOT selected.
I apologize for the uneven-ness, especially with the edging pieces of the wings... (my measuring might have been just a LITTLE off*)
Might I suggest experimenting with the sections and cut them to seperate from the others because I realized while making it that you will only need 2 of the four strips for the edge of the wings...
You're gonna have to get real creative with that though, so... either do that, or just omit them, and make the wings flat by glueing both of the main pieces together back to back.
And yes, I did do TWO left feet... so the tab on the top that will be on the right foot of the dragon will have a tab in the wrong spot, but as the instructions say, the feet are pretty symetrical... just cut that tab off and add make a new one.

Remember, the way you cut the part of the model is always more important than the way you cut the glue tab, so be careful with how I did corners, and I still suggest you refer to the original assembly instructions, because I have added in the "extra tabs" the first designer didn't seem to put in while creating his masterpiece.

All 4 pages took me about 3 - 4 hours to cut out in (believe it not*) one single sitting...
He's pretty easy, but not... OMG, cubecraft he's done in 5 minutes worthy.
Also I noticed while cutting out the arms and fingers that they will seperate if you cut them out completely based on the way I made them. So, cut them out last or find a way to keep all three fingers together without mixing everything up and of course, before glueing them.

Have fun! I couldn't pass up perfecting probably the most ORIGINAL looking papercraft model a guy can ask for.
