Papercrafts with penguins.
YAMAHA designed two
wonderful papercrafts of penguins.
They made sculptures of african and yellow-eyed penguins.
The models are about 8 cm tall.
As you can see on the pictures, it is quite possible to make them, if you're a bit handy.
But follow their instructions carefully about paper and glue,
because first I tried another glue and that didn't work good.
I used paper of 160g/m² and wood glue.
They also made sculptures of other rare animals like tiger, polar bear, gorilla etc...
You can download the sculpture and assembly instructions as PDF files from
YAMAHA Motors
I changed and enlarged this model a bit: about 17 cm tall.
Canon too has a similar papercraft: it is a model of an
emperor penguin.

A tip for someone who can work with a sewing-machine:
In the Dutch magazine Knippie Baby winter 2002/2003, you find a pattern to make a baby seat
in penguin form.
With thanks to Hannie van Grinsven who mailed me the picture and tip.
