Mechanical flapping papercraft bat with tombstone

Looking for a weekend papercraft project? This life-size tombstone-perched bat flaps his wings when you turn his crank -- all based on paper mechanisms that you can download, print, glue to cardboard and assemble

Just turn the handle and watch this little creature flap its wings in a most convincing manner. The bat is actually life sized, with a wingspan of over sixteen inches! And he comes complete with his own crumbling headstone and rotting trees.
