Ryuzin 3.5 is considered to be the most complex model ever, but is it outdated? Did anyone design a model more complex than ryuzin 3.5? Please comment what you think the most complex model of all time is

Shuki's zoanoid dragon has gotta at least come close to being as tough as ryuzin, if not more so!

And don't forget Andrey Ermakov's gargoyle!

Come, I will learn to do more difficult models

I'm sorry, what do you mean? (Those are some pretty awesome models btw)

You think stereotypes

There are no difficult models, there is an unwillingness to fold model

True complexity in simplicity of model and beauty of its idea

To fold model of 1-6 months hardly to whom it is interesting (except me, perhaps)
therefore I do not to do for such models of the diagrammes (hardly somebody will fold them)


Sometimes I very much regret, that I can think up any model from 1-3 attempts

Try to think up better something similar to it (It is really difficult)

No I do not. I agree that there is no such thing as a 'difficult' model. Just time consuming. When I asked this question, I meant difficulty as in 'time consuming'

To fix about 400 thorns that they have not crept away it it was labour-consuming enough... To do scales it is labour-consuming enough...
To fold sheet in 2.5 m it it was labour-consuming enough... To make mathematical calculations it it is labour-consuming enough... To make, for example, 1000 modules it are labour-consuming enough

To make the diagramme... Here it is really labour-consuming work. at present I do the diagramme... It is less pleasant, than to think out model, but it is very important

Please, do not feel like nobody folds your models. Your models are some of the best out there. I just cant fold them because I cannot find 2.5 metre paper to fold them. I would love to fold them (you sent me the diagrams) but can't find the paper.

I agree with fluffy, everyone thinks that your models are pretty awesome. Some people however just can't find the right paper to fold them with I will fold some of your models soon though

I think the overall scale of a model also affects the complexity. for example- i've made many Ancient Dragons. usually i do it from paper about 2-4 feet, and it feels "comfortable". but as an example, i went and pushed myself and made a dragon from about a 4 inch square of tissure foil, which presented many challenges because it is so small. i've also made one from an 8 foot square, which took a lot of walking to get from place to place, but also making sure the creases were accurate as the folds went on and on, that also is tricky.
