This month topic is means of transport.
You can choose between any mean of transport like aircrafts, rockets, trains, ships, submarines, cars, spacecrafts, etc.

The rules are:

1. New designs only
2. One or few squares or rectangles are allowed (no more than 5 five pieces per model)
3. No cuts or glue

Beth will be the judge for this challenge.

Some inspiration:

What is the max entries for this challenge? I have two ideas that I would like to post, but don't know if I can post both.

Usually if not stated otherwise you can submit as many models as you want.

I have a solution to our wheel problem.

1) box pleat a point.
2)spread the pleats at the tip, to create a small square.
3)flatten pleats behind square to the center of the square(from behind)
4) fold 4 diagonals behind on that square to make an octagon.
5) repeat step 4, until satisfaction.

Enjoy!

Hahaha, Jared, you stole my fire

I was thinking the same thing! Of course you did it better than I probably could.

Hey RCB still need help, I can assist? You have to insert the image between both of these: and if you are unsure of its success you could always just click preview to check.
