Fencers

Has anyone ever seen an Origami fencer. whether in a book on the web, even a picture will do. I am thinking of making one and want to know if anyone has done so before me.

Thanks

This is a challenge I made to the O-list a while ago. Jason Ku http://www.bluegoo.net/~jason/ has two swordmen and Tomohiro Tachi http://www.tsg.ne.jp/TT/origami/gallery.html has a model with two swords

Yes, it's been done before, for an event at the Sydney Olympics a few years back. I haven't seen photos of it though.

By sheer coincidence, I folded a fencer last week; I'll put up a photo soon.
