What have you folded lately?

Nicolas Terry's Rickshaw. Quite a clever design. I had not seen this way of obtaining circles and here Nicolas uses it for the two wheels, the seat and the hat.

Nice basic human figure! But not as basic as mine

Mine is amazingly easy to make variations of it. See for yourself:

Heres the original man:

And heres a couple of variations:
(With sword)

(With two extra arms)

The CP is in my gallery, if you want to try

Best regards Artur Biernacki

I've just folded Aoki Ryo's mammoth. Diagram in Tanteidan Book #11.

I finally folded the Drummer, a variation of Robert J. Lang's violinist, for my music teacher

It's quite rough, but that's because it's hard to turn tails of a suit into a snare drum.

Your human figure looks really good actually. Could you please explain how is it done?

Cupcake · Post by **Cupcake** » February 1st, 2007, 2:54 am

You're right, Brimstone, it's amazing! I wouldn't consider it basic, mine is a good example of basic.

Artur Biernacki, this bull is really amazing. Do you plan to release a CP or diagrams?

Gamma Star by John Montroll from a 15 cm square of Japanese foil

The amazing and fascinating thing about the Polyhedra by John Montroll is that they are all folded from a single square without cuts or glue.

Pegasus by Hojyo Takashi from a 15 cm square of Japanese foil

This is definitely my second favourite Pegasus model right after the one by Satoshi Kamiya.
On the second picture there's a rather interesting shadow for Brimstone

Gotaimen :

Does anyone know who's this character ? Google didn't help me much...

Oh, I fold it with a 14 inches tissue foil.

Wow, nice pegasus Daydreamer! I especially like the choice of paper.

Thanks.

Well, let me try to explain this without a diagram.
1. Precrease the model into a 32x32 grid.
2. Fold the waterbomb base.
3. On one side, perform a petal fold.
4. On the same side, sink both flaps on the front in on the existing creases.
5. The previous sink series was "vertical" and so in contrast, sink the back "horizontally", performing a somewhat-half-Elias stretch and leaving five "ridges" for fingers.
6. On the side just sunk, fold the flaps up to the middle line.
7. Turn over and rotate 180 degrees.
8. Fold center flap up in half.
9. Fold the flap down so that the part that looks like this -
| |/
_ / <------------- the bottom part right there.
- sticks out beyond the underlying folded edge.
10. Wrap around each leg the triangles that stick out .
11. Crimp the arms down.
12. Fold the hands like Jeremy Schaffer's (I'm not sure how to describe this, but if you have Origami to Astonish and Amuse you know what I am talking about).
13. Bend the arms and legs in half and add joints.
14. Crimp up the feet.
15. Mountain fold the top flap in half vertically and then reverse fold so that it hangs down. (this was the best head I could come up with).

I'm sure that's insufficient to fold the model really easily, but I'll put up a diagram if a lot of people really, really want me to (I am very lazy). A crease pattern really would not be of much help because the underlying structure is, again, just a waterbomb base that has a petal fold on one side.

I hand drew a CP for my Anubis model and scaned it. Here it is Crease Pattern

And I folded Fumiaki Kawahata's Tuojangosaurus
