The Origami Forum

Let's see. I am currently working and/or diagramming the following: a terrarium (plant, rock, snail in container), Rodan and King Ghidorah (by request), a Moai, and a coat rack, yes a coat rack. If any of these has been done before, I would like to know.

Cool,I'd fold any of those.I know that Rodan and King Ghidorah have been made before and maybe the coat rack. I recently made a frankenstein,I'll post a picture in my yahoo photo album soon.

It's funny, my Rodan and King Ghidorah come from the same base. I aleady have a Godzilla from that base, so it might be possible to make some compound models. I guess I could also have them stomping on buildings.

hehe.. that sounds real cool!
you could create a "godzilla szene" where godzilla and king ghidora
are fighting while they are destroying some of the buildings (just like in the movies..)

some pictures where great

In case you haven't noticed, I am currently folding the beetles, Cetonischema speciosa jousselini, Chelorrhina polyphemus, and Oryctes gnu.
Also, pictures should be up in the next two weeks. I am reworking the website.
P.S. If you have ever seen a Chelorrhina polyphemus, it is incredibly hard to fold. I counted upwards of 40 color-changes.

Continuing with new models, I am now designing a Stargate, from the TV series.
The King Ghidorah and Godzilla fight scene is coming along. Sadly, I don't think it can be made from a square.

cool! the stargate sounds intressting!

Stargate...oh I remember jason ku made one a while back,let me check my links...ok its here- http://www.bluegoo.net/jason/index.php?viewid=39

Do you know how many pieces of paper it takes?

The newer version shown has 22 pieces from my best guess. I have the diagrams for the older version which has 12 of the triangle and gate units instead of the 9 shown, and 13 for the stand parts.

My model, composed of one piece of paper, is more of a base. For instance, Stargates on different planets have different stands. Also, my Stargate has a larger ramp and the thing you use to dial in.

Hmm....I look forward to seeing some more pictures of your works.

I recently saw a new, obscure species of snail found in the depths of the Indian Ocean and had to fold it.
Unfortunately, I folded it out of foil that tore easily, but otherwise, it was a pretty good first draft. I only had to divide it into 16ths, which is great.
Anyway, I have two mediocre pictures of it.

Hopefully, I will get better pictures soon.
And, here's a link to find more about this unnamed species of snail-

hmm.. seems like the 2 links to the pics are not working..

I'll make sure they're up tonight. Again, my computer is incapable of updating websites, so I have to send it to another computer.
