i'm working on 2 models now. Bahamut and stag beetle by mr Kamiya. I will post pictures once I finish shaping stag beetle and once i collapse and shape bahamut.

His stag beetle is pretty hard...there are some folds with no references at all, and some mistakes in the diagramming making it even harder, but oh well. fun to fold anyway xD

I am on like step 120 now

Which stag beetle? The Cyclommatus metalifer in Tanteidan 12?

woah. the perfection of this fold is stunning.
and the idea to make a photo in nature is also awesome, however brown and gray stones aren't good background for a brown dragon ;D

edit:
my last fold
Cheval, designed by Hoàng Tiến Quyết, folded by me from 15cm homemade double tissue foil

yes, i couldn't remember how to spell it.
I just finished shaping the elytra, and I am starting on the legs. (i rarely shape from diagrams)

You have Tanteidan 12?

i'll just be straight up and admit it:
I searched for months to find a copy of it to buy, but I couldn't find one ANYWHERE.
i downloaded a copy of it because I really wanted those diagrams.

but once I do come across a copy, i will definitely buy it to justify my actions

At least your being honest.

i can't lie. even online.
i just feel guilty if i even think about lying

but i do own quite a few books:
VOG, birds in origami (old montroll book), works of satoshi kamiya, tanteidan 16 and 17, origami under the sea, and about 4 others i can't remember the names of. i have had birds in origami and Lang's first book for like 12 years now

Same here, to be honest. If I REALLY want to fold a model and can't find the book for sale, the Internet is my friend.

Well said Phillip. And that wasn't sarcastic.

Thanks Jake.
I finished the stag beetle, i am trying to post pictures but my sd card isn't reading for some reason.
I think it turned out definitely as one of the best things I have ever folded.

I have made some things by myself... (designs?)
Swan, Mantaray, Butterfly

A Swan inspired by Yoshizawa's Swan, it's quite similar, but not the same.

A Mantaray which I made by improvisation, I was playing with a piece of paper in class and all of a sudden... this appeared in my hands (I can make it without that separation in the "wings" but the tail would be shorter, also, I like it more without his eyes)

A butterfly, It happened the same as with the mantaray, I was playing with a paper in class... and puff! a butterfly (It doesn't have colour change, but it doesn't really matters, as I can use the same base for different butterflies.)

The only bad thing about the butterfly and mantaray is that their undersides are ugly.

Btw, phillipcurl, that's a nice beetle

And don't worry about lying everyone does it.
Being honest: I can't afford books... so I download them. I don't have any physical origami books.
PD: Long post!

thanks, menshenfeind.
and i try not to lie really hard, i would go into the story why i do this, but i don't feel like making everyone that reads it commit suicide, so...

and nice designs by the way, i really like the manta ray and swan.
