Looks like the right thing to me.

It looks great, notefolds! Keep work! I would like to show the method, how to fold it, to my unit-origami-colleague (I told about her elsewhere). Could you please recapitulate folding process? Thank you very much!

I haven't finished folding the full model. I'm about halfway there. The unit was from a link redgator12 posted, but I just checked and that page is no longer available! I'll diagram the unit and post it this weekend.

Just wondering, has anyone actually finished this model yet? I am very interested in learning how it turned out

. I think that this was the page with the diagram by the way

I've been working on it on and off. There are many many many units to fold, and I was busy studying for finals. But university is out for the summer, so I may go back to this model.

Inside, Closed:

As you can see, I'm only about 25% finished.

so how did you peice it together exactly? Did you make the five points and connect those together? I always have problems connecting my modular origami stuff

I couldn't find the diagras for any units that looked similar. i know this will probably be asked a lot, if it already hasn't, but which one has the diagrams?

The unit for this model was found at the link hrrabbit posted above. The owner of the site redesigned it, so I'm not sure where the exact diagram for the unit is located. But if you can't find it, I'll post my version.

Is this what you were using?

Yes that's it! Thank you xaoslord. The bottom unit in green is what I am using.
