Re: What is your favourate paper for complex origami?
i'd have to say the most convenient for me is tracing, but far from my favorite. the brand I have been using rips way to much. I just bought a ton of thai unryu and lokta paper but haven't used any yet, so i am not sure how that works. another paper I have been using is double tissue with MC.

For test fold the complex models I use craft paper and for the definitive fold I use Doble Tissue paper with MC. But I want to try with tracing paper for a while but I don't know how is known here in Chile (for example the tissue paper here is "papel volantin").

Compra papel mantequilla, en general es bueno para modelos complejos, hasta ahora no me ha falladoBeleg Cúthalion wrote:I can't oreder online because I don't have a credit card (It's impossible that I have a credit card, I'm only 14) and my parents neither.phillipcurl wrote:just order online or look for clearish paper.

Now, on-topic, I generally use tracing paper for everything, but I also use tissue and double tissue (depends on how many layers the model has)

Gracias ! Voy a hacer el Ryujin 1.2 con papel mantequilla para ver como es. Tambien estaba pensando que el "tracing paper" es papel diamante.

Realmente no tengo idea, le digo tracing paper al papel mantequilla, pero realmente no se si sea ese.Beleg Cúthalion wrote:Gracias ! Voy a hacer el Ryujin 1.2 con papel mantequilla para ver como es. Tambien estaba pensando que el "tracing paper" es papel diamante.

I never got paper properly for origami, the better paper I used was handmade tissue foil, a bit wrinkly, but works perfectly.
Narwhals!
