Well I think this guy has way to much time on his hands.

He definitely has too much time, he was the same guy who made 1000 cranes out of one sheet of paper (no cuts or glue).

He has TIME and WILL. No one folds 3000 cranes just because he feels like it.

I think he likes origami

I'm not sure he likes origami as much as he likes giving people the bird.

This chap seems to have missed out the last two steps in folding a crane on all of them.

Compare the subtle difference between the piccy of a finished crane in the top right of this forum, and his 3000 units

no meaning at all

Actually the only thing he did not do was spreading the wings and opening the body in the end (which is one step...). In my opinion that step is not really necessary, I've did a lot of cranes without it myself. They take less room if you do a lot of them as well

So you have a big heap of a 1,000 work in progress models too?

Being REALLY picky, I think the tails should stick straight up - his come out at an angle. It's OK not to open them out if you are going to string them as they sit inside the next one better like this (and take up less room).

Strangely compelling once you start folding them though isn't it? x

Uck, no! The "tails" should not stick straight up. They're not actually tails, but representative of the legs which go straight back. Plus they look ugly that way.

That is interesting, I never thought of it like that before.

no me neither. OK, so as legs they should maybe come out at an angle. But I still like them to stick up! x

That fact makes montrell's 5 sided crane base fit better; his crane has a head, 2 wings and 2 legs, but no tail.[/quote]

The tail is there, it's just very very very short.

The bird base can be used to form a crane with joined legs and a tail - just use the central point of the square. Naturally, this means you lose the closed-back structure of the traditional crane.
