I am looking for a modular origami unit that will build more than a polyhedron or a ball, I want to build a tall structure. I have already build a four foot tall structure out of business cards, but I want to make something out of post-it notes (I have several thousand at my disposal).
It should be something that can take the weight, and since it needs internal structure it cannot be a sheet of any of the common units. For example the PHiZZ unit can make a sheet but not a large structure. Sonobe units are nice, but they just don't hold together well in large structures. I have been looking for a while and I have not found any thing useful.
Please any ideas group?

I have done most of the models on the first link there Leaflock, but none of those can create a tall structure, they are all ball-like.
The cosmosphere is not what I am looking for either... But I have heard good things about Tomoko Fuse's book, I might get that. Do you know if there are any units that will fit the bill?
More suggestions would be welcome group

Nevermind, since I could not find what I was looking for, I created my own unit. It was a bit of a breakthrough for me so I created a website all about it.
Give it a gander if you are curious.
