So, I came across this yesterday and had my mind well and truly blow. If any of you used to make models and are interested in motorbikes, then this may be interesting.

Crumbs! Talk about man-hours of crafting an amazing bit of paper construction.
Simply stunning effort and an amazing end result

Not created any from scratch (apart from a VERY basic Landrover!) like he has but have made a few paper models, including a clock (which worked but kept REALLY crap time, even with loads of fettling!) Lockdown saw me assembling a lot of the U-Gears and Rokr laser cut wooden models.
Yamaha used to have as part of their website a section where you could download PDF files of templates to print out then cut out and build several of their motorcycles, some were as detailed as the one in the video, they also for some reason had a wildlife section with various paper animals to download and build.
They closed that part of their website a few years ago but that many people had downloaded them they are fairly easy to find with a quick search.
The bike model are here.
For some strange reason while they deleted the motorcycles the animals are still on their website here.

Where have you had that from? There is only a Youtube link here. You may possibly have a DNS Hijack going on at your end if youtube is triggering redirects to odd sites

Hover your mouse over the link you posted and see where it says it's going.
I use YT every day and it never redirects anywhere. That's also a setting in my AV software. I haven't checked for a DNS hack recently but I will do now.

I don't see a redirect either.

ScottT's link in "The bike models are here" points to family business . com. Not clicked on the link because of Steve's warning. Have seen the bike models in the past and if you're into building them and have a super robust AV package (and are prepared to risk it!) they're worth a look!
