The Origami Forum

Iron Mask IS in Book 15 on p. 226. Nicely diagrammed (Brian always makes great diagrams) and fairly straightforward.

I think iron man comes first because it is insanely hard. If i was a pirate, i would now start searching for pdfs. As it is- where do i find a copy of this book? Or at least just the iron man bit.

You know that this is just the mask part? The full body armor has, to my knowledge, not been diagrammed.

Oh that would explain my google failure. I'm looking at the armour.

The confusion could lie in the fact that the diagrams are for "Armor Mask" (because of licensing issues, I think), rather than "Iron Man Mask".

Just the Crease Pattern for the armor. Check the Iron Man Cp topic. One of the forum members took pictures of collapsing and precreasing.

Thanks! Also, i'm going to get Robert Lang's origami design secrets edition two soon. The cheapest i can find is between £26 and £34 although it ranges to £50 (for the same book)

I recently ordered that book, but got the first edition instead Make sure you ask the person your'e buying it from to make sure it is the second edition, because sometimes they get mistaken and think the first is the second.

The cheapest i found were on Amazon, where confused people are less common. It's normally ebay where you get stuff like that.

I ordered mine from amazon Just don't order the one for 39 dollars. That's the one I'm getting

They normally have more than 1 in stock. Also, i'm British. (£££) and i'd probably be after cheaper than that. I've just found out i have a huge amount of money, so i'm thinking what to do with it- (after i've got my volleyball) probably getting this book,
So if you have any advice on which sellers not to buy from, or anything else, please tell me!

I bought mine about two days ago, so it should be here today! Just make sure to ask the person to make sure it is the 2nd edition before you buy it from them.

I've read reviews of it.
"If you want the first edition, there's no point- get the second"
"If you bought the first before the second came out- unlucky, you really should buy the second"
Robert Lang considers the second (being the one with more content) to be his magnum opus. Considering how much Robert Lang has done for origami, are the design secrets worthy of this title? I'm assuming probably.

Yup, just be warned. I got mine yesterday, and it has some tricky math in it :B

Origami Design Secrets (ODS) is worth the price, just for the breadth of topics. You don't need the math to get started learning how to improve your folding and learning how to do technical design. After you understand the 'secrets' of design, you may want to wade through the math or get some help with it. I believe that your local math teacher can help, especially in exchange for a nicely folded model

If you find that you like this design method, then you might look into Genuine Origami by Jun Maekawa. On the other hand, if you want to use less mathematical approaches, You can look at Creating Origami by JC Nolan, various books by Michael LaFosse, and others. One method is not better than another, each gives different effects.
