14: Tip Truck

…so “box pleating” is a geometric style of folding where you take paper, divide it up and then pleat it into smaller modular shapes. I have never tried it, until now.Made from a 4×1 rectangle cut from the longest side of an A4 page, this model design is very clever indeed – it features a cab, strong chassis with rounded wheels and an articulated tray* that actually tips – I could not stop smiliing as it came together whilst I folded it.
