I redid my Seahorse an added fins to the back,
this covers the body though..

I have been experimenting with box pleating recently and came up with a few models

My fencer designed with assymetric boxpleats 16 grid

My first experiment....
let me quote my flickr

Origami Commando ,Inspired by an old drawing i made when i was young,
It is supposed to be a kind of Futuristic battle suit

Origami Circus Stilt walker
I left the pleats in the leg open so that it would look like wood, I dont want people to think his legs are long

Or you could lengthen the arms, and call it a slenderman!

I have not updated this since a very long time, so here we go -

The Roman Scissor
Gladiator weapon. Designed for ODT round 1


3D Hammer also designed for the same challenge.

Clock designed for ODT round 2 ( Very Simple )

My winged heart, designed for valentines day.



My avenger of Horus. Its a transformable model. the 1st picture is the human form. The following 2 is the Avatar form.
Again designed for the ODT


My Origami Phoenix 1.3
If you remember my early phoenix model. This is a huge leap forward. I used Box pleating and Tesselation.
Originally meant for the ODT ( again ) but i couldnt enter it on time.

And here is the Cp for a preliminary version of the Phoenix.

Its a 1x2 Rectangle.
Tesselating the fan will give you the version 1.2.
The Cp for 1.3 is still under troubleshooting.

I really like the avenger of horus. It seems you've had more success with boxpleating than I have...

[chesscuber98]

Thank you! I am planning to give away the CP but the main part is in the shaping. So maybe a guided collapse.

[Eamon]

Cool! If you do' I'd love to try it.

[chesscuber98]

I noticed that the existing peacocks focused mainly only on the fan and left other details. That is what i wanted to acheive in this model. I got the feet as realistic as possible ( But sadly could not thin it down further), The Comb and the wings. Sadly its not perfect. Designed for a duel against Langko.

[chesscuber98]

Ok so i decided that i am going to upload models designed by other designers as well. So to open up, here is Roman Diaz's Ciervo.(Deer) I changed some details on the face and tried shaping using wires for the first time. I am quite happy with the result


This shows the details on the face.

[Eamon]

You have every reason to be happy with the result
By the way, where did you find diagrams?

[chesscuber98]

It used to be on his blog.. now you can find it here :

Deer - Fumiaki Kawahata
Another deer to follow up. I think i got the details on the face, but i am not to proud of this model. The body didnt come out like it should and the front looks to thick to shape.

I think its beautiful !! Did you use banana paper for this too ?

[chesscuber98]

Thanks! And not, this is from a metalic handmade.
