[@angel-gq9pg]

Oh what joy to see that you're uploading again!! I learned a lot from your tutorials!

[@paperflicker4133]

Wow! Out of all the KZbin tutorials, yours are the best!

[@beverly119]

I have this amazing book (The Raven) and wondered how the hand unfolded. Thank you for showing how it is done!

[@amelieyu5997]

Just want to say thank you soooo much I’ve learn a lot from you.

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Excellent!

[@ifycollinspepability1965]

It's indeed so great to have you back Mr. Duncan, I have missed your tutorials badly... Thanks so much for the good work you have been doing and still doing.... Especially tutorial 42 and this one... THANKS A MILLION

[@kraftykimmy]

This is great! I’m looking forward to try this mechanism on my next card. Thank you so much! I really enjoy seeing the example from the book and your explanation by recreating - very awesome!

[@ifycollinspepability1965]

I have longed to know to how to make this popup Mr. D. B and you poped it just at the right time... Thank you so much👏👏👏👏

[@tujuhwarna9305]

Thank youu. I learned a lot from your videos

[@juanandrescaceres4771]

Awesome explanation about a very interesting Pop-Up , very nice tutorial and i'm really glad to see new videos been uploaded !

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Thank you.

This reminds me of a mechanism used in reinhart and sabuda's books to spread the wings of birds and dragons. In case of the bird, advantage is taken of the unevenness between two parallel planes anchored to a u-fold (I think i remember), which triggers a lever that causes the tip of the wing to turn. Well, it'll be better you to see it. The book is called Ecyclopedia Prehistorica: Beasts. You can watch it on KZbin. I think the dragon of Monsters and Dragons (also by Reinhart and Sabuda) is more like what you show in your video. I would love you to show us those mechanisms ^^ I'm glad you came back, please, go on.

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Yes you're right. A bird with that type of movement from the Sabuda/Reinhart book appears near the end of the Be Amazed II video. I've thought I might include that mechanism if I do another series next year. Thank you for the encouragement.

This is mechanism is exciting! Thank you!

Hello sir ....Welcome sir ..U kept us waiting for a long .. Thanku so much sir , for ur lovely tutorials ...

I can’t get the longer piece to close with the book. Sincerely, thankful but frustrated.

[@xXHirogeXx]

Thank You!!

[@michaelbrassil7510]

So excited to see some new videos and I love this unfurling mechanism. How would you create a mechanism that does the opposite and closes as you open the page?

[@catarinazs]

It's amazing to see how it works! Makes me love it even more. It seems so easy when you do it :-)

I enjoy you videos very much, thank you

Amazing

[@rossanaio4140]

Grazie!

[@anagallego2808]

Thanks for all your videos. I want to ask you some question about the book RAVEN that you show us in this video 43. I like to know which is the mechanism that allow the man who reads, to raise the hands and the book. (Excuse me for my poor level of English)If you can explain it to me…. It will be great. If you can’t, do not worry I will understand. Thanks again

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

The main mechanism is an M-Fold (Tutorial 19); The man's forearms and the book are made with a symmetric Parallel Fold (Tutorial 6); The Parallel Fold is attached to the outer planes of the M-Fold using Slots (Tutorial 11) with wing-tab joints. .... The angles on the M-Fold (the central V-Fold part of the mechanism) are the same as the angles on the page this makes the figure lean back to be almost flat when the page is open.

[@anagallego2808]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 ¡¡¡THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! I will try to do it.

[@anagallego2808]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 it will be difficult to me but I will try.

This is so Great. Can you show the tutorial about Rapunzel Tower mechanism by Matthew Reinhart? It's such a complicated one I think

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

Yes, I have got tall towers in mind for a future tutorial - won't be able to do it till later in the year. The Rapunzel one is good but also the tower at the end of Reinhart's Lego Pop-Up

[@margaritacontreras1565]

hola! podria dar medidas visibles en sus tutoriales. Gracias!

[@noobmaster-zh9vk]

Finally...

[@j.477]

Dear Duncan, which paper thickness the best to use? and is there a maximum or minimum thickness?

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

It depends on the size of the pop-up. The bigger the pop-up the more sturdy the card needs to be. The ideal card is rigid without being thick. In the tutorials I use photo copy card - 160 gsm. For much smaller pop-ups paper will work. For bigger (and better) pop-ups card up to 240 gsm is good - but if using thicker card it is necesssary to score the fold lines and that means they have to be measured accurately. The advantage of the card I use in the tutorials is that it can be folded easily and accurately without needing to score the creases.

[@montseartavia]

Sigo intentando hacer tus videos. Gracias. Tengo otra pregunta, cuál es el mejor papel para la base (hice un primer intento con un papel grueso de 220 gms y junto a los dobleces quedan arrugas)

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

220 gsm es un buen peso para usar en la base: para obtener un pliegue afilado y evitar arrugas, deberá marcar la línea de pliegue. Usualmente uso un bolígrafo sin tinta, o un cuchillo sin filo también es bueno.

[@montseartavia]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 gracias

[@JanKittyClifford]

Do you have a great aeroplane pop up I can make for my plane-mad hubby's 50th birthday?

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

There's a quite extraordinary plane in Tutorial 14 at 12.45. To make it, (or an aproximation of it!) you'll need to understand the Box mechanism explained in Tutorial 14 and the Parallelogram explained in tutorial 5.

[@JanKittyClifford]

@@thepop-upchannel4919 That is so helpful thank you. I want to try and cut out a pic of the plane he flies and use that as a model. It's a Piper Arrow single engine.

[@ClairBianchini]

hello, can you do the full hand? thanks

[@thepop-upchannel4919]

The process of making the videos is quite long - after they've been uploaded to KZbin it's not easily possible to add to them. Hopefully there are enough views of the hand in the video that you'll be able to work out how to make it.

[@ClairBianchini]

Excelente maestro Duncan, yo hace unos años atrás hice el mismo mecanismo pero la variante fue que utilice un triangulo asimétrico miré mi video es la primera hoja kzbin.info/www/bejne/kKvEp42jfLhob9E saludos desde México

Sí, excelente. ¡Estás por delante del juego!
