Thank you, it would have sounded cocky if I had said it myself.origami_8 wrote:Yours is looking better than the original one, congratulations
One interesting thing about this model was that the reference for the small octagon is not 1/2, neither 1/3 or 1/4 (I tried them all and none worked). What I did was using a Wolf's old advice from a thread I could not locate with the search function, in which she suggested one could find the square (in this case was the octagon) if you had already some of the creases on the CP (instead of the othr way around that is what one usually do). That's what I did.
I folded a small octagon and forced the large flaps to spin around the center and be covered by that star and then cut away the reamining paper. Doing this allowed me to find that the reference was one that you crease from one point to the one across the paper just as you do to find the "large triangles" in Anna's diamond.
