Best Origami Elephant with diagrams?
So my sister collects elephants, and I thought I would maybe make here an origami one for Christmas.
Do you guys have a favorite one? I need one that has diagrams, I can't do advanced stuff from crease patterns. I'd like something that is advanced level with good detail. I have a pretty extensive library of books, and am willing to buy ones that I don't have. I will use MC'd unryu for this and can do anything up to about 18" square.
Right now I am leaning toward the African Elephant in Origami Sequence, or one of the ones from Kamyia's books, Asiatic Elephand or Mammuthus Primigenius.
If anybody else has an suggestions, I would be grateful. Any hints or things to watch for in any of the above mentioned models are welcome as well, as I have not made any of them yet.

I guess my favourite is the one by Roman Diaz in Origami for Interpreters.

Kamiya's Asiatic elephant is wonderful. It is published in works of satoshi kamiya 2.

How about Nguyen Hung Cuong's elephant in VOG 1?
Re: Best Origami Elephant with diagrams?
I will have to look up the one from Origami for Interpreters, don't have that. It looks like a really cool book though, so maybe this is a good excuse to buy a new book.
The wife liked the one from Origami Sequence more than the Kamiya ones, so that one is in the lead so far.

Lionel Albertino's in Safari Origami (available for free as an e-book on origami-shop.com ) is also quite nice.

Miyamoto Chuya has a really nice elephant in Tanteidan Magazine 137. You can back-order on the website and get some of the older books. It has a really neat shape to it
I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

Ended up going with Nguyen Hung Cuong`s African Elephant from 50 Hours of Origami. I think it turnred out pretty good.
Re: Best Origami Elephant with diagrams?
Wow, that looks great!
I finally got it to say something under my posts!
Re: Best Origami Elephant with diagrams?
In my opinion no other elephant design can touch Quentin Trollip's. I love the trunk on it.
Be who you are, do things because you want to do them, and stop caring what others think. Then you'll be happy.
