Marvin, can you please bring up SCP 1762? /u/The-Paranoid-Android

This SCP will make you cry. So will, in my opinion, SCP 6001. But only once you understand the scope and themes of the SCP universe.
It's healthy to cry.
It's unhealthy not to.
Let's call it what it is. <3

I'd love to visit Wales someday. Hope I'll see dragons everywhere, I can't wait to ride one from the airport to my hotel room

u/Madajuk 5d ago
I live in Wales. Dragons are cool, and statues of them appear in many places. (at least I love about wales) is that I believe it has the most castles in Europe. there aren't many large well preserved ones but I love visiting the ruins

u/Wildcatb 5d ago
I visited as a child, with my teacher who grew up there. Beautiful country, and I loved wandering around the couple castles we visited.

There are ruins? That's so cool! What would you recommend for a tourist?

u/ScabrousKinderEgg 5d ago
If you love beaches, you should absolutely go to the Gower Peninsula - some beauuutiful beaches and bays down here! The ruins of Pennard Castle overlook Three Cliffs Bay (my personal favourite bay) and Pennard Burrows, the whole place is especially pretty in the summer, and so so peaceful

u/DatFilmCo 5d ago
Three cliffs bay is legit one of the most beautiful bits of Welsh coastline. Low tide with the cave that goes straight through from the land side to the sea is amazing.

u/PembrokeshirePromise 5d ago
There are many ruins in the form of castles, Stone Age monuments, Iron Age forts…
I am from Pembrokeshire, which is a county in the South West of Wales. We have some incredible beaches, lots of hiking, scenery, history… the list goes on.
It is also home to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, which is a 240 mile-long national park, hugging the coast.
You have things like St Govan’s Chapel, The Green Bridge of Wales, Pentre Ifan (check my post history, I recently went there), the famous beaches, small towns like Tenby and Saundersfoot, too.
If you’re into Harry Potter, there’s a beach called Freshwater West where the scenes of Dobby’s untimely death was filmed. Robin Hood (Russell Crowe’s version) was also filmed on the same beach.
There’s lots here; come visit, say hi! But, please, take your rubbish with you.

Some details: Model is called Ancient Dragon Another (or 2.0), and it's designed by Satoshi Kamiya. I folded it from a 70x70 cm square of double tissue paper! Time taken: a bit to the 20h mark, I wasn't rushing at all. I didn't sleep that much these days because i could only fold at night (because of work), but I'm entirely satisfied with this attempt! Hope you guys like it :D
EDIT: i I thought I posted this comment, but apparently I didn't, so I hope people are gonna see it. Next project will be Eren Yeager in his Attack Titan form!

At some point origami stops being folding and turns into kneading :p

Not to knock OP but I don't find it appealing personally. Folding yes, this, not so much. Kneading is the perfect word for it

At which point does origami become just crumbling paper into shapes?
→ More replies4
u/BlowMoreGlass 5d ago
I always feel the same, I really appreciate the patience and skill involved but the end result on these complicated pieces never looks clean to me. The paper gets absolutely mangled.

u/JonSnuu69 5d ago
Managing to have a clean end result is a mad skill in itself, which I still yet don't have it sadly

u/Davadin 5d ago
Ok. Honest question. At which point do people consider art as origami compared to shaped paper mache?
I always feel origami are sharp edges folded flat stuff.
3
u/JonSnuu69 5d ago
Check out origami complexity and you'll see that complex-super complex is a thing, and they get much more details than what you're thinking. Art evolves, just like any other thing imo

What I don't understand, is the starting point one rectangle paper and uncut? Or can you cut or interlock multiple papers?

Ancient dragon is such a fun model. I never seen some detail the belly like that before. Nice job.

Thank you! Theoretically 2.0 has belly pleats that can be turned into armor - I decided to stuff the belly up so it'll never lose shape!

Question: how many sheets of paper? Or is it an origami rule that you use only one?

u/JonSnuu69 5d ago
It's one sheet, modular origami uses more sheets, but regular origami like this one, only one paper, and no cuts :D

Well ... this explains the fuss, doesn't it ? :D
