So, do you have any suggestions on what I can make (tied into a special event, holiday or cultural preference)?
Perhaps you have stumbled across a diagram that you think I might like, have a challenge that you think will beat me or just want to say Hi. That is cool too.
Drop on in, suggestions HERE please, otherwise, for comments about models add them to that model.
For those wanting to look ahead, there is a Google doc spreadsheet I am keeping past, present and future models in that you should check before suggesting something I may have already anticipated.
I am a reasonably experienced folder, and do not know what I am NOT capable of doing, certainly already I have surprised even myself with how complicated I can go so …. over to you
AUGUST 6 is Hiroshima Day – do YOU want to fold a CRANE for PEACE – apparently it is lucky to get to 1000 paper cranes – want to get involved? Send wonko@wonko.info the photos (along with how many you made)
I really think you should do the ancient dragon.
if you start now you might get it finished for your #365

part 2
cool – you have a go first, I will have a go after I see your attempt
I think you should paint some of your efforts. It would be interesting to see what the results would be.

i would like to see the mutalisk as well i havnt found any diagrams yet either
a dalek, even though i dont know of any instructions…
done a dalek – in the end I invented the fold myself – gave it to Brad Esbensen
I dare you to fold my vinegaroon design! >:D Crease pattern: http://www.flickr.com/photos/74920511@N05/7906261904/in/photostream
I would call it hard, but it is pretty time consuming.
challenge accepted
well, I have collapsed it, just not sure where to go from here:
Hey, do you have flickr account? If so, can you give me the link? Here is mine: http://www.flickr.com/photos/cpmaker/
I do not use my Flickr for origami much, all the pics/paper folding stuff is here
You should try Ninja Shadow by Hoang Trung Thanh.

might just give that a try, thanks
I just stumbled on to your blog when looking for a cp or diagram of Chan’s rose. You’re folding stuff that is so far out of my league. Just amazing in some cases. Maybe you could offer some assistance on a model? Lang’s butterfly in Origami Insects and Their Kin has plagued me for months. Steps 30 and 31, just after the pleats, that end up forming the wings end up turning my paper into a decorative ball. I get the idea of it but I’m missing something in the execution. Any hints you could give? Great site!
Thanks, will have a look – not folded that model yet but the step 30-31 seems a straight forward enough stretch
It does seem straight forward, but in practice it’s getting me for some reason. If you have any awesome bits of knowledge you can pass on when you fold it please let me know. Would love to finally finish this model, but more importantly figure out what’s going on here so I can use it elsewhere.
when I get a free moment I will give it a go with some thin paper
OK, I see how it works – it is a box pleat after the spread – will blog it and show you the pictures I took while I was doing it – nasty but it sorts itself out, the in-out pleats are harder I think
I figured it out! I was reading Lang’s Design Secret book and something in it made me realize what I was doing wrong. I would still post it though. I’ve seen a lot of people ask that same question and there isn’t a very good explanation of it out there. Working on completing the model now.
Off topic. What Kraft paper do you use? I use kraft as well to figure out bases, but is so thick I can’t do much more with it. Almost as thick as a brown grocery bag. The models I’ve seen you fold look much thinner then what I have but I can’t find anything else around here.
Thanks!!
I buy rolls of it from a local newsagent, lovely thin and crisp 65cm wide, 10m long rolls; last time I looked they were a bit hard to find. I bought some 70cm wide kraft on a roll and it was much thicker indeed. I find Kraft is useful for test folds – I figure if the fold does not look good with plain paper then it is not a good fold, but that is just me. Will blog the butterfly when I finish it – been doing bits of it between other jobs, busy times atm at work
online source perhaps: http://www.giftpackaging.com.au/c/wrapping-tissue/kraft-paper-rolls-sheets/1103
I found this at a Hobby Lobby today; thought you might like to know. 8lbs (~12gsm) and feels and holds a crease like tracing paper, but a tad thicker-feeling than tracing paper. Certainly would need some MC to hold the finished model together. The store had it in rolls of 12″ & 18″ x XXXft. If you haven’t used it before I’ll let you know how it holds up.
Have you ever attempted any of Hoang Trung Thanh’s models?
not that I remember
He does a lot of tedious boring box pleating stuff.
that does not sound fun – some box-pleating is interesting
Actually I was looking through Vog2 and I found a model by him called the Emperor. It looks pretty cool and isn’t completely boring box pleating.
How about the “grim reaper” by Miyamoto Chuya from JOAS Special Edition 22?
sounds interesting – I do not have access to the diagrams yet
How about Miyamoto Chuya’s Grim Reaper from Tanteidan special edition 22?
interesting idea but I do not have access to that volume of Tanteidan, sadly
I have the diagrams for the facehugger but am have trouble folding it. I would pay you for a private video tutorial if you’re interested. E-mail me if interested
Please fold the origmi fox by Hideo Komatsu for a YouTube-video… there isn’t a video of that on YouTube and i can’t fold it… maybe you’ve the book??? here is the name : “Works of Hideo Komatsu” by Hideo Komatsu
I hope you have this book???
Hi there. Im having some problem with satoshi kamiya’s lion step 38-39 Could you pls help me ?
this step is relatively straight forward – all creases collapse simultaneously in a pair of pleats that converge on a corner pleat with a tuck where they meet – difficult to explain but look at the diagrams – and look ahead to the finished pleat and you will get it – this model is terrific, but not a beginners model as it contains some lovely complex techniques
Hey!
I really loved your work. You fold awesome!
But I want to suggest you one thing-
can you provide us with all the details about every model you fold? Means, type of paper, size of paper taken, time you required to complete it, where the diagrams are given etc etc.
Thank you!
If you look at the tags and read the posts you will find most of that information – I am just exploring, definitive guides are less useful I find. Most times the sources I use are copyrighted to the books I have so I am not at liberty to share
Hi Wonko, just browsed your worked yesterday and i must admit i became fan of yours…Can you fold nine tailed fox from naruto, i saw work of guspat and other crease pattern from the internet, no one has ever done it in the internet or any video tutorials to teach, it would be great and the origami world will be really happy if you can make a tutorial even a picture diagram would be good….I’m crossing my finger and i hope to hear from you soon – Shawn
not familiar with the series, curious crease pattern
Heres the example of tailed fox by Guspath http://guspath.deviantart.com/art/Nine-tail-fox-15444958
I do believe this is the crease pattern for that model, just correct me if im wrong, heres the link http://dashlye.blogspot.com.au/2009/06/kyubi-no-kitsune-nine-tailed-fox.html

i always wonder how to fold brian chan’s hissing roach , can you fold and show us please ?
Not familiar with this model – link me?
i mean this roach http://web.mit.edu/chosetec/www/origami/hissingroach/
cool model, not sure where to begin but will investigate
did you try robert lang’s assyrian bull ? that is really cool
not found instructions yet, still exploring
we have just cp http://www.langorigami.com/art/gallery/gallery.php?name=assyrian_bull
ok, will give it a whirl – 28ths – yay (not), will have a go at the base first and see what sort of a mess results
DO a NARWAL!!!!!!!!!!!
Hello,
Horse Head by Eric Joisel ? I have redraw the Cp and i’m stuck …
Hi, I have not tried this model – Joisel’s fold looked effortless but, as usual, doing it well is anything but
Ok Wonko. If u want to try just tell me 😉 And have a good day. Jb
J-B – happy to give is a whirl, can you link me?
Hello sorry for the late reply. Did u have an email ? i will send u the cp complety redraw 😉

Hi Peter, as you are asking for models to fold, I’ve folded two recently that were quite satisfying and that you might enjoy. The first is Nazgul by Jason Ku and the second is the Owl by Katsuta Kyohei. Both are in the various Tanteidan publications. The third (an excellent model, particularly with a bit of MC) is Cerberus by Kamiya. Of course I still think a second run at the ancient dragon might be fun. Thanks for the periodic updates on the blog.
Thx, I have actually folded most of those suggestions over the time. I am always on the look out for new challenges, particularly drawn to complex/super-complex models but have also found a new fascination with tessellations
Hello Wonko
Did you ever tried the Manned Wolf of Yamamoto Taiga? I tried but no luck with the CP. I wanted to fold it because is the only specie of wolf in my country and it is in a real danger.
Here is the CP

Thanks
Patricia
Thanks for the link – I will give is a whirl, I am not really very good at decoding crease patterns, but am happy to have a go
Two 4th of July models that you might like are Quentin Trollip’s Statue of Liberty (diagrams in Origami USA Convention 2009) and Robert J. Lang’s “Stars and Stripes” (CP here: http://www.langorigami.com/crease-pattern/stars-and-stripes-opus-500 ). The statue of liberty one is fun but I haven’t yet tried to fold Lang’s model.
Hey Wonko I just stumble upon your post About Chinese Dragon by mikiller but unfortunately the link for diagrams in the comments is dead. Is there any way to get those diagrams?
I have cached a copy of the instructions here: http://www.wonko.info/365origami/wp-content/uploads/dragon.zip

You gotta check this model out it uses cuts but in a very unique way
