Awesome! Justin Nachsin and Petr Stuchly

step 1 42"
step 2 Red on both sides
step 3 Thin
step 4 Double Tissue
step 5 Any intermediate to maybe low-complex (Most complex I've ever folded was Kamiya's winged hercules beetle

Aaaand done! http://www.flickr.com/photos/gaberosiak/6984682314/ Great model, guys. Unfortunately, I didn't realize how brittle my paper was. Oh well. Just gives me a reason to fold it again in the future.

Any more suggestions, folks?

[cowburger13]

great fold! Thank you for folding. I'll let Petr know

Size: 48x48cm
Color: Dark Blue on both sides
Thickness: Thin
Paper Type: MC glued double tissue
Complexity: Medium-Hard/Hard

If you have a super thin paper, I recommend Satoshi Kamiya's ancient dragon It probably won't look nice on the first try though, so be warned. Or you could do Lang's tarantula (insects 2), or any other complex bug

Size: 42cmx42cm
Color: Red on both sides
Thickness: Thin
Type: Double Tissue
Difficulty: Any intermediate to maybe low-complex (Most complex I've ever folded was Kamiya's winged hercules beetle


I posted this above as 42 INCHES, but I meant centimeters. I own most of the popular origami books, so any suggestion is welcome.

I've got lots of tissue foil in lots of different colours up to 45cm and I'm looking for something complex that dosen't involve a lot of precreasing.

[cowburger13]

I'm with you dude. Precreasing SUCKS. I recommend Lang's tarantula. His scorpion is good too, but has a lot of precreasing.

Size: 30 by 30 cm
Colour: slightly transparent
Thickness: reasonably thin.
Type: non stick baking paper.
Difficulty: medium/complex to complex.

Hey, all paper is slightly transparent! Is this the normal way of paper transparency or a different one? Satoshi's mammoth prignathus (or whatever it's called) might be good. For that model, the recommended size is 35 cm (i think) but if your paper's transparent in the normal way (really thin) it'll do fine or better. This is the first time i've answered a request so it has probably flopped, but, if you fold it, i would love to see it!

Maybe a little " clarification" might be helpful.
Most paper is somewhat opaque, in that one cannot see objects through it, nor does it pass an appreciable amount of light, essentially is more dense .
There really is no transparent paper .
To qualify as transparent, light & images would have to be readily observed through it, much like the result of looking through thin, clear plastic such as saran wrap or polyvinyl film.
It is not completey transparent, but far closer than opaque or translucent paper.

That leaves us with papers such as tissue paper,vellum and parchment paper ( baking paper) as well as some other very thin ( of lessor density) papers .
They would qualify as translucent .

By the way, parchment paper comes in rolls, generally of 12 inch and 14 inch sizes .
There are also individual , more expensive , higher quality parchment papers. They oftentimes are more dense, not quite as useful for folding complex models.

Overall, thin parchment paper is nicely crisp, folds well, and the actual translucency depends on the brand or type of parchment obtained. It does vary somewhat .
I hope that this helps a little.

More transparent than regular paper - you can see clearly defined objects through it. It's Glad non - stick baking paper.

So did i flop a bit, or a lot?

Red on one side, white on the other.
A step or two above kami, label on the package doesn't say.
"Fadeless" bulletin board paper
Any difficulty, would prefer something diagrammed though.

Any help here? I'm looking for something that does very well with such a large size of paper.
