Once Upon a— DRAGON!!!
Lego Ideas is currently holding a contest to build a pop-up insert for the Lego Ideas Pop-up book. This is what I came up with.
The dragon unfolds from the book using tension from a bunch of Lego strings. I had a lot of problems with it breaking because of how much tension was in the strings, but it's pretty much fixed now.
One of the requirements of the contest was that the book had to be exactly the same as in the set, meaning I couldn't add any new attachment points, so the main body of the Dragon is just attached to the bar on the spine of the book. It disconnects from that pretty easily, but all of the strings keep it in place.
I made a video of me opening the book here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=9kggBcaPnK8
