Thanks, Trekker. I found that old photo of Lincoln, and decided I wanted a challenger to appear. So I used the Albert Einstein as a starting point, because of the mustache. It took me a while to figure out the hair though.

Is the flower your design steyen? It looks like a sunflower.

Anyway, here are two models I made recently :

Angel by Satoshi Kamiya, made from a 60cm sided square of homemade foil. I find it strange that almost no one, from what I've seen, has tried this model. It's not that difficult to collapse. The only real challenge is shaping (especially the hair and dress...)

Human Skeleton created by me, made from a 45cm sided square of homemade foil. A cool feature with this model is that it is (almost) fully articulated an can take whatever pose you want. I was also surprised to see that there is so few human skeleton models out there. Nobody has even tried to make a full modular skeleton.

Great job on the skeleton!
Have you seen HOJYO Takashi's skeleton? Thats still a favorite model of mine.

Erm, do you mean his skull? I haven't seen any complete skeleton model by him on his site, nor on any other web pages.

It's icky 64x64 box-pleating--I wouldn't fold it. Good job on it.

Nice skeleton. Great job on giving it fingers and toes, and on the pelvic region. It needs some work on the head and ribs though. Marc Kirschenbaum has a good skeleton too.

He does have a full skeleton design out there somewhere... At least I've seen it somewhere and I'm pretty sure it was by him.

EDIT: Never mind... I was probably thinking of the one by Marc Kirschenbaum (I should have read the post first).

Satoshi Kamiya's Cerberus from a 35 cm square of double MC blue-grey tissue paper. For some reason my image of a Cerberus is that it is a dark blue-grey in color (I think Harry Potter may be responsible for that).

It wasn't all that fun, but it was a heck of a lot nicer and easier than that darn Housemaid I've had sitting around for the past couple weeks. (I've been taking a break from the Housemaid to fold easier things, like Kamiya's Cerberus

)

I've really gotta learn how to take better photos--find a spot where I can properly curve the backdrop, along with a good back drop.

And this is me trying to learn how to use Photoshop. I painted it blue so it would have its actual color.
