Diagrams of rats/mouse

Post by lhs1701 »

Next year is the year of the rat.

I am interested in simple but effective model of a rat, preferably not more than 20 steps. All four legs are not mandatory, crouching position preferred. My problem is I cannot recall where to get them.

Can anyone recall where I can get them?
e.g. which book and author of the book? anywhere I can get from the internet (posted by their creators)?

These two are pretty simple...

Jose-Angel Iranzo's Rat

or, more complex Rat by Eric Joisel (I'm sure that you're already know this model)

Yes, I am aware of the Joisel's rat but I feel it is not suitable for my needs.
The other two, thanks, I will try it out.
Currently I am making origami models related to Christmas with angels my favourite theme for my colleagues but I am about to move on to something else.

I highly recommend Joisel's rat it is one of my favorite models to fold because he is so cute. He is more complex so i recommend going to happyfolding.com and there is a video on how to fold him that is very well done and should not take more that 30 min to do him if you watch it :wink:

Totally agree, this has become my new favourite. Its a nice blend of regular creasing and wet folding to bring it to life. I've given a few away as presents, and people really take to it. All I need now is a nice piece of cheese and a cat, and I'll be more than happy.

1) White faced mouse - The complete book of Origami by Robert Lang (10 steps)

2) Mouse - Origami Zoo by Robert Lang and Stephen Weiss (37 steps)

3)Mouse - Origami Omnibus by Kunihiko Kasahara ( 23 steps)

The first is fairly simple and has no legs.
