The Origami Forum

Nice! I love your insects especially.

If you do include the ZD as a cp, some photos or steps showing how to collapse the leg/arm scales and the chest would really help. Doing it cleanly is extremely difficult...

You've no idea how happy you just made me!

That's an idea, or perhaps I could even use a photo of the collapsed base from all angles.

Glad to hear that.

I guess it's okay to reveal what I've been doing now, presently I'm folding the Flying Hercules Beetle originally designed in '05, I have 4 pages complete and decided it would be better to fold the thing first so I wouldn't need to edit the diagrams after the fact (kabutomushi). I've also redesigned my Root borer to give it longer legs and body as well as eyes and plan on folding that when the hercules beetle is put away.

GASP!
The same one I bought right? Oh, I can't wait for those diagrams, this one really does rival kamiyas'!

Thanks as always. I'm making a small modification to the hindwings and thorax, but otherwise it's pretty much the same model. The model has always had a color-change for the elytra with the wings staying black, however I've never folded the model with the right paper to reflect that, until now.

Okay, here's the final model guys:

fantastic! Are those background sheets also o-gami?

Nope, the red background is VOG paper, the lighter blue is Tant, and the other one is the same unknown paper I used for the yellow triceratops. Basically, the paper had no description.

Hi Shuki Kato I've been following this thread and your work for a long time now, I have to say that you work it's just incredible, I can't wait for your book. I have a question about it, my favourite of your designs is the second version of the unit 01 of evangelion it's perfect, and I love Evangelion so I will love to have diagrams, so the question is, Do you plan to make diagrams for it, and put it in your book?

Keep being awesome men, Thank's a lot for all the sharing of your work, like the Western Dragon.


Take care.

Sorry if my english was bad.

Hey, thank you very much and you didn't have to worry, for the most part your English is very good. As for the Eva diagrams, I probably won't diagram the model in the book, my plan was to publish them online much later. But I will diagram the model eventually, after all the Evanglelion TV Series is my favorite anime in the universe.

We know.
I think you may have some copyright issues with that one though, as Brian Chan had to publish his iron man mask as, "armor mask". Anyways, good luck!

By the way, when you finish the diagram you are working on, can you post the final step here?

Yeah, I know, I could say the same about the Ohmu as well, one reason I'd like to diagram as few of those as possible for the book. Now the zoanoid dragon is practically an original creature of mine, so that's not really a morale problem, but even there I'd feel better to rename it something else.

--Eva 1 = Giant Humanoid Model 01
--Ohmu = King Arthropod
--Zoanoid dragon = Enzyme Dragon
--Asuka = Awesome Anime Girl

Or something.

Of course;) I've finished about 80 steps by now.

Merry Christmas! Take a break from diagramming and go be with your family
