Let's take a look at some of these projects:
Starting with the hedgehog again- Here is a photograph of the model, showing some of the detail of the underlying structure. From this page (also showing Garfield, Santa Claus and the Frog Prince)
Frog Prince: if you look inside the Frog's mouth you can see the 'lattice' frame that is holding the structure together- a grid of poles lashed together.
Wolverine: I like how the arms are sticking out, guyed by ropes. The six-pack is also a nice touch.
Dragon: there are a couple of dragons, but I like this one for two reasons: Firstly, the temple that he is flying through is a good addition, and the way the curves of his body are made- if you look just behind his head you will see how the fabric has been left hanging to make a natural bend.There are quite a few other images at an Israeli scouting website, they're definitely worth taking a look at:
Construction photos (before cladding is added)
Closeups of models, construction process, also a dragon and an eagle completed
Dinosaurs, eagles, a cactus, sportscars and lions
A dragon, Wolverine, Mario and Luigi and a Transformer
Another dragon, Spongebob and Patrick
If you spot anything of interest in the Hebrew text in these links, or if you were on this camp, please let me know a bit more about it- how long did these take to build, who designs them, how many scouts work on them etc.

hello...
I'm from Israel and I planned the Green Dragon project! It's so surprising that I found that picture on this site.
It took us about a month to plan it and 6 days to build it in the forest. we were a group of about 15-20 teenagers.
Here are some more pictures of the dragon and the temple:

Hi- thanks for the geodesic dome pictures- I was just wondering the other day how easy it would be to build one.
I have put up a post about your dome here and put my drawings together and put them on a T-shirt here - hope you enjoy them, thanks for sharing your work.
hello from israel!!
these stractures are built in 3 days of work from about 6:30 AM to 12:00PM.
they are usually designed by 3 people and build using a crow of aboet 20 people.
Hey, just surfed onto your blog! I'm so impressed with it - it's a great resource. :D
