What have you folded lately?

[TheRush12]

I've recently folded the T-Rex skeleton by Issei Yoshino. I haven't really posted anything on the forum, but I thought I'd throw this one out there, haha.

An hippogriff or griffin, who knows.
Created by me using a 30x30 cm blue square of double tissue while I was in a history class...

One-piece T-Rex Skeleton by Robert J. Lang folded by me. Not the cleanest fold but quite fun. The paper (35cm Tissue foil) was way too small and I decided to skip the last step - adding crimps on the back spine - because there are a felt hundred layers connected to this spine. What I really liked was the way the legs and tail are shaped.

WOW origami_8 I really like this One Piece T - Rex, the head and the tail are awesome, where I can find the diagrams? , can you send it to me ? Please.

I would love to fold it.

The diagrams are published in OUSA Conventionbook 1994. I'll have a look whether there is a more accessible way to get them.

I have the 1994 book, the T-rex skeleton is really fun to make!
Also, there is another one-piece T-rex skeleton in the 1995 OUSA book! In fact, I think I'll dig those out.

thx - this is my third go at it - the second attempt is the crumpled "wave" surface it is mounted on (rather than throw it away, I used the severely crumpled model fail as a textured base for the next attempt to rest on). Attempt #1 is best not talked of, ever. The final (successful) attempt took in excess of 20hrs - it is a brutal fold at times (or I found it was with my fat, clumsy fingers) but I think I needed the other attempts to work out what went where, what changed into what and how the final assemblage sort of works.

The detail on this model, if you have not attempted it, is astonishing - full kudos to Brian Chan, it is a masterpiece of design indeed to tease that much out of a single sheet, and it is a good test of your accuracy (and the toughness of your paper) ... I will, however, not be folding it again.

I have been experimenting with the base fold for Eric Joisel's Gnome, and am finally getting the hang of these little fellows. So much model potential, fun to fold - I even added a button to keep the coat closed


With a 28 grid fold, you get lovely long arms, pose-able legs and lots of flaps to model a face

I was playing around with an arbitrarily placed semi-regular pentagon (as you do) and realised with some accordion pleating that this could form the basis of a nice tree rootstock. It took a bit of planning to coax the paper up into a nice twisty trunk and some fairly standard box pleating to then separate into branches.

I figure that, because you hide, nearly completely, one side of the paper inside the tree you could, using 2-colour paper, coax leaves at the tips with some more playing around.

I mounted it on a pentagonal base, some wire armature up through it so it is now fairly rigid - very happy with the results:

Wonko can you work on a few better pictures of your Kraken? The light is too powerful for the dark background so I can't quite make out all of the details.
