The Agreeable Sheep has moved from the Flying Pig web site to her new home here at robives.com. As a member you can download the parts file for free at the bottom of this post - I hope you enjoy it.
You will need a pair of scissors, some glue and a glue spreader. The best type of glue to use is white school glue (PVA.) A pair of tweezers will also be useful.
Print out the parts sheets onto thin card. Note that the parts sheets are marked front and back. Print out the front, flip the card over, pop the card back in the printer and print the back. Leave the ink to dry completely before continuing.
Before cutting anything out, score along all the dotted lines. This job is easier to do on full sheets of paper.
Dashed lines are hill folds, dotted lines are valley folds. Cut along the solid lines. Grey areas show where to glue.

Fold the body inner round and glue it together. (1)

Glue the body inner into the body. Use the two very small dots on the outside of the body to line up the diagonal corners of the body inner. (2) You might need to hold the body up to the light to see through it.

Roll the body round and glue it to the other side of the body inner. (3)

Assemble the head. (4)
Glue the neck to the head. (5)

Glue the neck to the body inner. (6)

Fold the two flaps at the bottom of the Box round and glue them into place. (7)



Fold round and glue the Cam Follower. (17)

Glue the Cam Follower into place in the box (18)

Fold round and glue the Push-rod. (19)

Thread the Push-rod up through the hole in the top of the box and glue it first to the inside of the Head (20)...

...then to the Cam Follower. (21)




Finish off the model by gluing the Box Back into place on the back of the model. (30)

Hi Rob:
Your website is fascinating and your blog as well. Congratulations and thanks for making it so educative as well. I want try to design my own paper animation and I have a question: You wrote here that the card is printed on the front and on the back. I believe that in a normal printer it would be hard to align both printing. Do you use the back only for flat colors or there are also design lines? Thanks in advance and keep going the good work.

Thanks for your feedback Andrés.
When I create downloads that are back to back I create slightly bigger print areas for the back of the sheet to allow for printer errors - it's quite an interesting process so I'll do a blog post about it.

Thank you very much for your answer, Rob. Looking at this sheep design more carefully now I noticed cutting and folding lines on the front, flat colors and numbers on the other side, so no need for big accuracy then. Now I need to think on a design..... not the easiest part.
