The Origami Forum

I'm currently trying to create a model of a M-16 assault rifle. I've got the basic shape of it, but it lacks details, and im not happy with it. It is too thick, and I can't figure out a way to lock it. i've been using a bird base. Suggestions? Are there any diagrams already of a m-16?

Eseltine make many weapon but diagram not.

Do you have a picture? It might be easier to get/give suggestions with a picture.

If you have troubles with thickness and locking you should try to fold it using foil paper, that might resolve the problems
Concerning details, if you have your basic shape fixed, try to add grafts in the places where you want to have more details before folding the basic shape.

I'll try to post pics, but i dont have a digi cam, so i'll have to borrow my dad's. As for the grafting, im not exactly sure how to do that.

If you could post a CP of what you have so far I or someone else might have some ideas

The CP is comming! I'll have to fold another one tho. This time I'll use actual origami paper (I used notebook paper for the first couple attempts)

I'v designed a few guns. (sniper and chain gun thingy) These are simple designs but I thing they are effective.

any pictures (CP, diagrams,.....) ?

Unfortunately not. My camera is broken

Polop, could you give a basic description of how you made the your two guns? just like what base you used, grafting, etc wiuld be great. thanx
