Finally had some free time to finish Don Viet Thien's Pegasus, from 64cm crumpled/ "VOG" paper
Image
First time using this paper, though I've had it for ages! I thought it would be easy to fold but hard to shape, being so springy, but I found it to be the opposite. I had a few problems seeing the creases, which shows :oops: , but it wet shapes very well :)

@Edg : Wow Amazing Pegasus! The shaping is fantastic!
@Gross: Nice work on the fugu.
@Damian : Great shaping on the beetle.
@corvo : the Acorn came out pretty nice but the Scrat could use some work :)

They look wonderful! I think the head in Diaz's lemur could be a little cleaner, but still great job! I'm also loving the blue bar pigeon. The colors are great.
I would rather fail trying than fail without trying....

Flickr에서 green cube님의 I AM BACK!

I AM BACK!!!!!
For the last month and few more weeks, I've been only studying for my highschool exam and lately I've been kept losing sleep..but! During those hard times, I tried to fold something out as possible, so here it is! Another version of my Hydralisk! :D
Since I spend most of my time in school, I wasn't able to create anything so complicated, so I chose traditional bases(ex) bird base, frog base, etc) for my new design.. this hydralisk is folded from pure Blintz Frog Base and I'm really proud of it because the way I used to fold this model with that base is quite unique!
This is why I like to design my models with traditional bases! Even though the base might be seen as 'limited', as what you can see from my hydralisk design, it isn't actually 'limited' and the process of making those bases appropriate for the subjects is quite interesting, it's like making something out of nothing.. :)
Anyway, I've been retired from origami for a long time so the model might not look so good but I hope you guys like it...!!

Fold time : 1 hour(really easy to fold.. :) )
Base : Blintzed Frog Base
Paper : Back-foiled red Hanjj 28.5cm x 28.5cm
Diagram/cp : N/N

p.s
More pics are posted in my flickr so if anybody wants to see more pics,please visit my flickr and comment!

Hi all - have lurked on this forum for a while and found the help posted invaluable! Thought I would post a fold.

I just got a delivery of sample papers from Origami Shop and liked this textured green one, thought it was perfect for a dinosaur. This is a T-Rex, from Tanteidan Convention 18 book
