The Origami Forum

For some years the set of models has accumulated. Also there was idea to structure them in form of book.

But often my models cause stupor at people.

In general, whether as think it is necessary to waste time on it.

Too many models, on your flickr page, to properly assess .
Try to show your own self-designed models only .

Many appear overly glued or watered down, look like paper mache, not origami.

On a scale of 1 thru 10, your neatness scale, attention to clean detail, is about a 4 or 5 .

Do you plan to include diagrams of your own designed models, or just photos ?

You have a bountiful amount of models. I would suggest that you work on your favorites to a higher level of professionalism, emphasis on uncluttered appearance. No paper mache ...

I have always found your models to be very impressive, and often well folded. Still, they look very time-consuming, and perhaps few people would invest the time to fold your works properly.Looking at your diagrams/crease patterns, I have found them to be fascinating. A book can be time-consuming to make, but as long as the emphasis is on showing off your finished pieces, it could work well. Good luck! - Marc

I would Bye the book (if you make it), what I would like to see in it would be some diagrams although all of your desings are way to complacated for me to fold I would still like to see them, and some Crease patterns, and some words about how you go about designing your models. that Is what I think makes a good book.
I hope this is understandable.

What is the purpose of the book? Are you happy with something you self-publish and sell to whoever is interested? Or are you looking to sell it to a publisher for wider distribution? Answering these questions will help you figure out what you really want. Do keep in mind that diagramming is far, far more time consuming and difficult than either creating or folding.

He diagrammed one of his models before. 500 steps or something. A spiny crab. Incredible but difficult to the extreme.

The book overall objective to collect my schemes in one place for convenience. I draw diagrammes of models for people absolutely free of charge. As the model without the scheme is dead model. Besides, if it is interesting to someone, I very much hope for the help in testing of models, as with it the big problems. If is wishing to participate, write on npvru@mail.ru we will discuss

I don't think a book is really needed. If you do it, awesome, but due to the absurd complexity of your models, making diagrams way too big of an effort, compared to how much it would help people.

Maybe a best models only? Along with a bit of "how I did these models" or something like that..

BTW, I'm totally interested in that Dragonfly model. Do you have diagrams for it already (if so, are they published somewhere?)
