Sara, very interesting. How large was that paper? what kind of paper and what was the size of the koi when finished? If I can ask, what kind of tools do you use?

A most excellent model
Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, you can find some details on http://www.happyfolding.com/gallery-lan ... _koi-front
Maybe I should start posting some more details (answered questions on origami lists, too).

Paper: 96cm square of Kozu, 45gsm (37.75 in)
Model: 52cm long, 37cm wide (including fins), 14cm high (20.5in by 14.5in by 5.5in)

Material used:
paper,
bone folder,
ruler for ... measuring distances (duh!),
tape to mark 1.75cm on the ruler, also used as a weight,
90 degree angle to get precise pleats, also used as a weight,
large, heated bone folder (aka iron),

4 clips to keep things in place when folding the koi,
water/MC mix for some basic wet-folding finishing,
blow-dryer because I was impatient

Superb model! Although I have to admit it more reminds me of a violin.

Maybe that's because I always expect to see an extended "foot" on a cello.

Vampire Duck by myself folded from a 15cm square of tissue foil.

I designed this model right after seeing Melina (Yureiko) wearing this funny shirt during the convention in Germany last weekend.

Videos to go along with this model:
