Here's a nice little video that I came across on YouTube.

It is of a paper model that I designed for Agano City in Japan posted by the prolific DutchPaperGirl.

I've subscribed to her channel.

At the YouTube page, where DutchPaperGirl says:

This automaton is made out of paper. I found the pattern on the internet: http://www.city.agano.niigata.jp/gaiyou/paper_craft/paper_craft.html

I made it by looking at the photos....

 

However, when you click on the URL, you get the "404 Not Found" message.

But if you truncate the URL to:  http://www.city.agano.niigata.jp/gaiyou/

and click on the third item down:  http://www.city.agano.niigata.jp/gaiyou/shihyou.html

then scroll to the bottom by the blue bird, and click:

Result:  PDFs for the blue bird AND the swan by Rob Ives.

 
Enjoy!

My friend Furuta-san got me the commission to design the swan model for Agano city near to where he lives in Japan. I think it came out quite well :-) - RI
