The Origami Forum

can you say thank you jason ku.......diagrams to be published in tanteidan magazine 129.....and this is according to his website.....i seriously cant wait. until then ill try my hand at the CP. any tips/helpful info? The CP can be found in the JOAS 2011 special edition......

I can't wait.

dude...you... are becoming...very anoying...do you know that?

Pobody's Nerfect.......didnt you know.....

1. Personally I'm not bothered by the constant "..."s, but a lot of people have been complaining about it, so marc it would be a good idea to just cut them out. It isn't really a typing necessity and some people have a problem with it

2. Froy, don't comment on a thread if you have no input besides "you're annoying". It's spam.


In any case, what paper would you guys think is the best for this fold?

thank you for your input...and for staying on topic....you can all get over it....spend more time folding paper and less time worrying about someones punctuation....the joas 2011 description of this model written by jason himself states that while the base is uni-axel, the paper becomes quite thick in the area of the rider. this allows for a layered look for the cloak. i would suggest something relatively thin...but strong enough to hold the weight of the model. i too would like input as far as the best paper goes....

i made it from unnoficial diagrams with 30cm pearl crumpled paper and it came out way too small and thick. use atleast 50-60 cm

I just folded this Nazgul(diagrams version)..... very cool model.

People folded it at the OUSA convention from 23 or 24 inch american foil and it came out about 6 inches long...I think.

I made one out of 14" Japanese foil, and another out of 14" black Tant paper. Jason told me that you have to be careful not to use too thin paper, since while the back legs of the horse are thick the front legs are quite thin and may not hold up the model if the paper isn't strong enough. I was worried that Tant paper would be too thick, but it was actually fantastic to fold the model with right up until the end when I was narrowing the rider's arms and the horse's hind legs which got a bit thick. I would definitely recommend 14" Tant at least for a first try at folding the Nazgul.

14" Tant Nazgul

14" Japanese Foil Nazgul

I have some 80x80cm Tant that'd be perfect for this fold

Edit: Wait, there are unofficial diagrams?

ummm maybe? i folded some nazgul from weird diagrams in russian with lots of mistakes... idk if its jason kus but it looks like it.

ive found some random diagrams in russian over the years....chans wal-E, kamiyas jackalope....etc..etc. and they were drawn by andrey ermakov....could they be his diagrams of an earlier nazgul?

Could you show me the wall-e diagrams? Only if there are legal...

im assuming since someone else drew them...and they are not widely known...that they are indeed illegal...better luck next time fluffy....
