Tanteidan Convention 18

[merman]

Thanks. In fact, the frog is also mine so I got two models in.

And until last year I did not get published at all, so guess not just known names...

[StefOmega]

My model isn't there... My bad, next time, it will be unpublished.

[foldingpaper]

is it still only pre-order? i have trouble with the primarily japanese website

[JumPurge]

I don't think I could get it this year.
Only three models I'd really look forward to folding, just... eh. Not that fun.
Consider it like a video game; does it have replay value?
It seems sort of a disappointment compared to past models put in their books.

[ahudson]

And Tanteidan showed again - they choose models by the known names, not for the originality and beauty of the model. *ba dum tsss*

That Nick Robinson elephant looks suspiciously familiar... Also Lang's DeZZ unit was published in The Fold about two months ago. And you might recognize Max Hulme's Pixel Unit from OUSA's 2009 collection.

Seriously, they're not even trying anymore. I don't mind seeing good content republished occasionally, but when they make originality a condition of submission, and then republish diagrams anyway...

[merman]

Still I know of some really good models by well known origamists having been rejected because the models had been published already. Best example is Artur Biernacki's Merlion.

And the negative response towards the contents is not very rewarding for those that have been selected (not even talking about myself).

The only model I just don't get is the crane...

The only model I just don't get is the crane...

I think it's supposed to be a pureland version of the traditional crane, but you're right--there's really no reason to publish something like that.

It's pretty rare that there are a lot of good models in a compilation, anyway. I've got my eye on the insects and modulars, as well as the mytholocigal creature(s) (Shachihokoo and Nekomata, anyone?). And we get some Jason Ku and Manuel Sirgo, which is always nice.
i'm still not 100% sure that I'll buy this one, but there are some nice models.

[phillipcurl]

I'd just buy it for the beetles and a few other models (jellyfish, squid, alien, etc) but nevertheless there still is some great models in there. enough to spend 50$ on? i don't know yet. but still, tanteidan's are collectable so i prohbably will get it anyways

[maddoghoek100]

the Nekomata was very popular at the OUSA convention, looked cool and i got shut out of the class, so that alone may be worth it.

[bethnor]

for those of you interested in this, be aware that the chen alien only has the base diagrammed.

[NPV]

My models did not take... Well, I will lay out them in the general access...

Volume below the average...

[anermak]

My models did not take... Volume below the average...

Volume decent - a good book with beautiful models ...
May be you just need make models are better and interesting - personal resentment is a bad reason of charges ...

[phillipcurl]

there are some great models in here, mostly the animals, but still, its not as good as some of te previous releases. andrey, i don't remember, did you submit a model this year?

[anermak]

Perhaps, previously volumes often includes more popular models. Despite that, is still one of the best convention books in the world.

did you submit a model this year

No, my model not was include in the book. Hope, what i can make better diagram in the next year. But I bought it anyway.

[chesscuber98]

Is Kade chan's Hell Cobra in it?
