The Origami Forum

Folderp, I am really impressed with your folding, especially the miniature Bahamut which is out of this world! I'm sorry that your excellent work was met with what passes for sardonic wit or lectures on how to use a camera. Please don't become discouraged. This forum is not a place that nurtures tal...

Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War right? Nicely folded!

I've folded Takashi's Violinist from 70 cm vintage kami. I used such large paper to combat the relative thickness of this box pleated model.

David, it's up to Goldtiger and Tony to decide what will and will not be accepted in this challenge. I agree except if you add to your sentence "at the beginning of the month." It sets a dangerous precedent if the challenge is re-interpreted or even transformed in the middle of the competition. If ...

This has nothing to do with that! Please read my post again.

@Tony Koppers that's fine you're the judge, but here's why it might not actually count. Least Concern means the species has been evaluated by the IUCN, but do not qualify as vunerable, endangered, critically endangered, extinct in the wild, or extinct. Probably only the first four of those should b...

I folded Komatsu's Tiger for a gift. Hardest thing I've ever folded. It took 9 hours total including practice. Unfortunately the only bicolored large paper that I had with sufficient contrast is that terrible gold Oshop TF. That was their first generation of papers that is just too soft. But I made ...

I don't think that the OP was patiently waiting 8 years for your reply. I think he has folded a dragonfly and moved on!

Congratulations!!

Especially for me because I'm a teacher! I find pencils and pens all the time.

I folded Kawahata's T-rex for the first time. The original version from Origami Fantasy. Folded from 35 cm I did manage the teeth but they are not perfect. Despite the overall impressive size of the finished model, I think I need to go bigger to be more precise in the teeth folding.

Finally finished Lang's Scorpion folded from 30 cm shadow fold. This is the model from Origami Insects II. But it was not fun to fold. Still I would like to come back to this someday when I'm a better folder. actually this model can be fun to fold. throw out purism. measure the references by pencil...

The Rhino is folded from 24 cm golden river leather and the elephant is folded from 20 cm elephant hide. Both models are found in the recent JOAS maga...

I folded Diaz' Bullfrog out of the lizard paper. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4694/39565765445_8884509985_z.jpg Diaz' Bullfrog by David Whitbeck , on Flickr This is what I think of the paper: It is thick, but not like elephant hide. I would say that it is similar to tant but perhaps slightly thinn...

Yes, the hanji and unryu require MC. As far as what to fold, you might get a better response in the topic Crease mentioned. It's in General as well, albeit maybe a couple pages back. I've taken your advise and cross-posted but with 117 views on this thread, I don't see that will help. There seem to...
