The Modern Einstein

Pegasus, the complete book of origami. Personally, I do not like this model one bit. It looks unappealing, and the shape turned out wrong no matter how i adjusted it. it was also a pain in the neck to fold the base, as the diagrams were wrong, and did not show the steps clearly, or provide any reference points.



The cube, the complete book of origami. It's just a cube, but locking it up from the inside was again, a pain in the neck, and it never really locked up correctly.

Yeah, a lot of pegasus models tend to turn out kind of awkward looking.
Most of the fairly simple pegasus models that I've tried don't allow the wings to be big enough in proportion to the body.

That cube looks quite pretty even locking mechanism was a pain.

The pegasus model from ODS1 (see earlier in my gallery) I still like though, and I believe it's one of the best pegasus models around. With the cube, I hid the part, in which the bottom was slightly open to the air. I allways try to hide the nastier bits from my photos.

Ah yes, that one is pretty nice. I'd still prefer even larger wings though.

Hey, I was folding random stuff. Here's the ruby throated hummingbird, from ODS, and a Long necked seed bug, from origami insects and their kin.

Is that copy paper

[the modern einstein]

Yes. It's some very old stuff from the 1980's that's a lower GSM than most copy paper though. It's very good for folding.

[polistes]

Noice thats pretty awesome, <Currently googling copy paper weights =]>

[the modern einstein]

I don't think it's a standard GSM by the way.

[the modern einstein]

I just looked at the packaging: 60 GSM

Nice i'll see if i can buy some

Edit: i can only find listing paper or this =[ http://www.amazon.co.uk/HP-Office-Multifunctional-Paper-80gsm/dp/B000JTKDCW/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1354322303&sr=1-2-catcorr
