I finally got around to doing something for this month's challenge.

Here are a couple of spaceships. They're folded from a bird base.
8 by 8cm themal receipt/fax paper.
They include built-in stands so they can be displayed in flying poses.
The one on the right is inspired by the Arwing fighter from the Starfox Nintendo games.

Thanks!

Yep, the usual deal--one square, no cuts.

That's one piece I would have liked to fold. Could you release the CP after the month's end. Is it too hard? If it is, I doubt I can succeed.

I agree with this. Your sniper gun is really cool looking, origamimasterjared.
NPV : I'm really curious about how you made your amazing tank. I just can't seem to figure out how you did it.

And here's my submission :

Catapult
From a 25cm square of kami paper. It actually works and can throw small objects at a distance of at least 1 meter. Sadly, I can't really provide a video to see it in action

.

I also thought about submitting my mushroom model as a joke for an atomic bomb explosion, but I'm not sure if it's really appropriate

Come to me... All I shall show

The principle of "manufacturing" of wheels is simple... For example, insert the form into a cube and generate a wheel

The Sniper Rifle is very cool. Clean and almost real lookin'

If I could cast a vote it would be for the sniper.
