I've only folded Bahamut once, from a 45cm sheet of tissue foil, and it took me over 6 hours. Having had the experience, though, it probably won't take me as long if I ever try it again.
There are some models that I'm never going to fold because they just look like too much of a grinding slog - Ronald Koh's cobra is one. Maybe I'm just getting old...

oh, I know exactly what you meanMaybe I'm just getting old...
in the last time, I am heavily unsatisfied with folding too complex models (like insects or stuff). I am really missing the fun in folding, and so I started to fold less complex but more fun-folding models.
the last a-bit-more-complex model was lang's dragonfly (but only, because I wanted to fold it from a 50x50cm kraftpaper).
sometimes complexity sucks, doesn't it?

Not trying to get off topic but where do you get the diagrams for the Bahamut from? Now back on topic! Complex (super, insane complex included) models take me soooooooooo long to finish, and I sometimes lose them because I put them down to take a break and I forget them until two days later I remember but there long gone of course! Maybe my next model won't be that way.....Hopefully
i should start trying out the more complex origami. so far, i've only really done simple stuff by most standards, mainly since i love modular origami, and that's usually pretty easy and also since i tend to get lazy and don't finish the harder things. on my larger mudular stuff, i've spent up to 15 hours folding and assembling, but it's definitely very different from folding one super complex model. but as for the longest amount of time i've ever sat just continuously folding and not stopping, i would say about 5 hours (free time at college with nothing else to do). i was assembling one of the 555-piece tori i've made (i've made 3 so far).
i think one major problem i have is that i dont really have the best paper around to fold some of these things. most of my modular stuff, well, all of it actually colored copy paper. other than one pack of kami paper (9¾") and rolls of that big paper, the largest i ever usually use for stuff is 8½" paper.

Wow!! I haven't folded such complex figures but I can say it usually takes me an hour per roughly 80-100 steps if I don't know it, half that if I've done it before. So that hercules beetle I posted on another thread took me an hour to fold.rockmanex6 wrote:
