super complex/realistic insects

[phillipcurl]

i need diagrams for super complex and realistic insects or arthropods sin general then can be made with paper around 40x40cm.
I already own the diagrams for satoshi's cyclommatus metalifer and kabutomushi, if he has anymore, then please list them and in what books.
I know that lang has a whole book on them, but any others?

thanks.

I just finished an Acrocinus longimanus of my own that I can send you the CP for. No diagrams coming for a while though, as it's BP.

alright, you can mail it on my flickr or send it to my email

Plenty of cps on lang's website for very complex insects! although they are very hard and many have very wierd references...

[Baltorigamist]

Most of Robert Lang's insects are box-pleated, so not really weird references. Brian Chan, on the other hand....

some do have some weird references, but like Balt said, most are boxpleating

my goodness, brian chans, i have tried some of his insects cp's (and most of his models in general) have weird references and are even hard with the diagrams.

I tried to find the refs for the Scutigera for like an hour (not just the 14-section) and still failed. Haven't seen many of his diagrams though, still waiting for his book.

[phillipcurl]

his diagrams vary greatly in style.
honestly, i only like some of them.

Try some of the models in Origami Zoo by Lang.

That book only has a couple insect period (a moth and one other one, I think) and those were early designs of his and aren't very complex or ultra-realistic.

Uhh, I tend to disagree with that first statement. His models have INSANE references, just for an example: Poison Dart frog and Bull Moose or Deer (can't remember) and even those are diagrams and they still have super hard references.

[Baltorigamist]

The dart frog was hex-pleated, wasn't it? and the bull moose was BP 32nds.

[GWB origami]

it was probably the deer.

The Roosevelt Elk does have really weird refs, I'll admit. But besides that and the Maine Lobster, I can't think of anything with crazy references that Lang himself didn't laser-inscribe (the Klein bottle, maybe, but meh).

lionel albertino made a book on insects 'insect tome'. And manuel sirgo made 'origami bugs an beasts'. Haven't made any of the models in the books, so I can't tell you if there any good.. or complex for that matter.
