Lifesized Dolphin
Folding a Life-sized dolphin
I was commissioned to fold a life-sized dolphin by a compamy that produces pension fund literature. The dolphin and I were going to be displayed at 2 pensions conferences, one at the SECC Glasgow and the other at Excel London.

This was the sheet of paper I started with.
It was the proportions of a lengthwise half of a ISO 216 rectangle (1xroot2) 11.2 Mts long!!
I started folding...
The tail is complete.
Getting inside the model to sort out flaps.
The dolphin is complete and now needs to be hung up in its final position.
Here I am assisting myself to get the dolphin positioned correctly.
Inside the dolphin are a number of bamboo canes for support.
The dolphin in situ and yours truly performing for the visitors to the conference.
I was teaching visitors how to fold the Talking Fish
