"In order to get ready for this project we need to prepare the newspaper. What we are now going to need, if you're using a smaller newspaper, you'll use two of one sided sheet. If you're using a larger piece of newspaper, one will probably do it. So I'm going to tear these apart, make sure I have two for the shell, that'll work for the top of the shell. You can use one of these for the bottom and then we need to cut the pieces for the legs, head and tail. So I'm using about a quarter of a page for each limb, we are now going to end up rolling and wrapping those and a little bit more for the head so let's use a half of page and a little less for the tail. So now that we know exactly what we need for our newspaper construction, we see we are now really ready to move on to the next step. We can divide them up so we will know exactly what everything is going to go for. We have got the legs, we have the tail, we have the head, we have the body, we have the shell and we have the under body."
