Improvised Studio?
Improvised Studio

I'm surprised how fun this was. As well as how it turned out.

The only difficult thing here was the fact that it was so time consuming. Also, those fucking TEETH. They were tinier than totodile's. I think that his turned out better though. Curse me for finding things with tiny teeth.

Instructions were kinda wonky to follow. Didn't realize he was two separate parts until the end. Would have changed the way I did the top half since the 'holes' in his front were a pain since they were next to the last things I did. All the holes were a pain now that I think about it.

The three horns on his head were so fun to do. Also fun to look at. The spikes on his back weren't too terribly hard. Just stress inducing since there were tiny pieces that needed folding. Ended up doing the one arm twice since Once I did the first one, I did the other arm and looked at the first one and saw how bad it was compared to the second. Needless to say, that was an hour wasted.


I feel the need to do a life sized version of him
Don't do it
Why?
Think about how much paper you would need. Also TIME
Oh. Right. Kinda forgot about the time part... Oh and paper. Paper freaking EVERYWHERE

Mine tips forward really easy, though I haven't done anything about it. It isn't really a problem since he's in a low traffic area, so he isn't disturbed.

You could try some coins in the feet or maybe a penny or two in the tail.

I can not for the life of me figure out the claws on the arms! I agree with you that the directions are completely wonky.

The claws are a little weird to do the first time. The .pdo really comes in handy there. They sorta fold onto themselves.

I think if you follow it, it numbers the the arms going from the shoulder to the claws. I found working from the claws to the shoulders was a little easier, so I didn't have to reach through the whole arm to hold down the tabs in the claws. If that makes sense? It made it sorta easier overall :)

Do it it twice if you really have to. It really helped me :)
