I'm 13. I've folded a respectable S.K. Blue Whale, Bahamut BL (CP), Various R. L. stuff, and now I'm working on S. K.'s Phoenix 3.5, Hojyo Takashi's Buddha, Hojyo Takashi's Violinist 2003, and S.K.'s Venus Comb. By the way, does anybody know how to do the final shaping for the Venus Comb? The base is easy, but I can't get to the final product just by looking at Kamiya's picture.

That's awesome Calvin46689!
I'm also 13, but no where near the experience you have!

It wasn't until this year I got serious about origami (I've been folding about 4 or 5 years, but was folding the basic stuff).
So yeah, I'm just learning ropes, and trying to figure CPs and all that good stuff.
The only thing I've folded from Satoshi Kamiya was his Eagle Ray short-tail version.
Keep up the good work!

Although I'm not yet a regular I hope to be and I lurk a lot. I'm 25 living in the UK.

I've been in and out of origami pretty much since I was a kid. Started with paper airplanes and boats, and moved up from there. Now doing a bit more serious efforts with my origami. Just recently started to do more advanced CP's. 21 years, from Japan.

I have folded all of Kamiya's models pretty well with homemade tisse foil, and many other complex models done well with that, and methyl cellulose treated paper. lol, thanks fer listenin to me rambling

I'm 18, and I'm VOTING tomorrow!

Never folded any Kamiya, so there.

I probably never will, it's much more worth it to design my own models. I've been designing for two years, and at this point I rarely fold others' designs. I used to be a hardcore tessellations addict, but I'm starting to put representation back into my folding diet...

Rest assured, I've folded enough that I could fold anything Kamiya's published, if I wanted to. I fold for about an hour every day, and haven't gotten stuck on any models for at least a year, maybe two.

I'm 19, but folding since I was 13. I designed my first good model when I was 15 or so (Compsognathus). I started designing Pokemon when I was 17 (with none other than Mew).

Hi, I am nearly 40. Got interested in Origami about 5 years ago, but I have been consistently folding only for a year.
Quite early on I started creating some desings of my own. Quite simple ones but quite rewarding too (at least for me).
I reckon I need a better theoretical background, so I am try to finish reading R. Lang book "Mathematical Methods for an Ancient Art"
I work in a research laboratory, so, for me, there is not enough with following diagrams, I need to know what is the logic underlying things. how several legs are produced and stuff like that.

Im with you on that. i have a hard enough time with simple models (although i can do a sink fold unlike my geomtry teacher who has folded more then i have. and i made jeremys knife when she couldent

) hopefully ods will help me out with the therory so my models arnt just screw ups of others models that turn out cool. (no, they are really just doodles but that sounds more funny)

I'm 22 and from Finland.

I've been folding more or less about 4-5 years now, and started to move on to more complex models 2 or so years ago.
