by "i don't think so," do you mean that they don't when the folders who routinely use it have plainly said that they have? nguyen cuong hung has personally come hereabouts and outright said the paper is not that thin, they use it because it is readily available. as someone who has also splurged on ogami quite a bit recently, let me reassure you there is no "magic paper" with all the answers. shy of ogami or origamido, you're going to have to break some purist rules. it's also no secret by the way that kamiya uses glue in his exhibition grade models. he outright shows all the pictures of himself using glue and wire for display purposes in his 2nd book.GeorgianFolder wrote:i don't think soartur use this paper too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDLC_sSCCyg here is short video of this paper
let me put it more plainly. i have several sheets of VOG paper, and in order to achieve the results you see in those flickr photos, you are going to have to use glue, wire, and/or some sizing. the paper is springy and is given to splay. the moose in that youtube video is almost sure not to stand and will splay, as the model is wont to do even with foil. the paper is flimsy and large models will not stand on their own (le tuan's werewolf, for example). for the record, origami-shop lists the weight as 58 gms--but terry sells some kami that is 52 gms.phillipcurl wrote:The only reason he does that is to preserve them. I do the same, except for the wire. if I could read Japanese i would buy that book, but i can't. when it gets translated, i', buying it, though.
you are perhaps missing the point. i did not say that glue was not fine. the OP was very eager to get his paws on some VOG paper. i am telling you that it is not necessarily that much better than ordinary kami, and it is not some kind of panacea of paper, and in order to get the final product that you see in the flickr albums, you will need to do some final modifications. if you are okay with that, then crumpled paper is fine. if not, it may not be worth you time to plop down however much origami-shop is asking.phillipcurl wrote:i've seen the book.
I don't own it, though.
glues fine unless you cannot complete the model without it.
