You’ll actually believe a bird can fly when you construct this amazing action model based on the delightful comic below:
Study these two photos taken moments apart to see the amazing flapping action possible!
Here’s what you do: click on the thumbnail just below to bring up the hi res version, and then right-click and save the hi res image.
Take the image to your local copy shop and have a print made on a heavy paper stock (like paper used for business cards) (Or, of course, print it at home or work if possible).
Come back here and click on the thumbnail below which will present to you in mind-numbing detail how to cut out and assemble your fabulous action model.
Supplies you might need:
–scissors
–exacto or utility knife
–ruler
–paperclip or dried-out ball-point pen
–glue
If any fool one out there actually goes to the trouble to make one of these things, send me a photo and I’ll post it on the site!
