i've been trying to fold my helicopter. it's really frustrating me. when i developed it i was subject to search and seizure of illegal hobbycraft (origami) and therefore had to send home my prototypes through the mail. the rollers that apply the barcoding to envelopes totally mangle folded my models, so trying to delineate certain crease patterns has been a bear.
I also tried to fold a tiny version of Komatsu's horse. I started with a 6cm square, but failed in the finishing process, because the paper was to thick in the end. I used standard 80g yellow copy paper. but I'm pretty sure, it can be done with 40g paper.

I have modified the folding process a bit, to produce a bigger and more symetric armour (term?). we have surely the same diagrams :)
Okay. It looks interesting. Similar to a snapping turtle shape.
Thanks Dioniso !
I cant take a photo of the very small horse for now, because its in an origami shop in Paris. I may go there this week, and then i'll take photo of it
I used tweezers to fold the little corners of the 2 behind legs inside, to round the thigh. But it sure is useful, when folding llittle stuff like a 4 cm square ...
I'll try to fold a 6 cm square horse now. I'll tell you as soon as i finished it .
