Smallest Model Folded?
So what’s the smallest model anyone here has folded?
I’ve heard of finished models being as small as 0.5cm and was wondering if anyone could come near (or even surpass) this size. Extra points based on complexity of course.
The smallest crane I’ve folded measures around 1.5cm from head to tail. I folded it during a rather boring chemistry lecture from a square of paper ripped off a piece of lined paper. If anyone would like a picture, I might be able to find one.

The smallest model I made was a crane from a four millimeter paper, the smallest complex model was Hideo Komatsu´s horse out of 2cm paper:

I have folded Eric Joisel's rat, and it turned out 17 cm square, and got a 2cm rat.

Thats crazy, I tried and I got a thing with wings, a tail, and a little thing almost like a head.... it is probably 1 1/2 mm long.The smallest model I made was a crane from a four millimeter paper

A Salt seller, to sit on top of my salt seller rose. The smallest is 3mm across.
Here it is:
And here's the rose (my design):

My smallest is a crane from a square of apx 4mm, folded using only my hands (no tools), my prize for this feat was all the Fresh Orange I could drink at the bar that night.
The hardest bit was bisecting the lower flaps of the bird base, but for a list of the really small models Im sure there is a list on Joseph Wus page.

I probably won't win any records, but here's some jolly small origami.
1) One of my T-rexes and Montroll's steg, next to a 1p piece.
2) An ickle kawasaki rose. On top of the page from 'Origami for the Coinnesieur'. Or however it is spelt...
At some point, I'll have a go at folding a crane using an ENT operating microscope, when I find a piece of paper small and thin enough...

I once set up an origami PLC. But the business folded.
