The Origami Forum

I just saw that Quentin is about to publish his new book.
You can check Nicolas Terry's shop to see the content-there are some great models in the book:3 wize monkeys,grizzly bear,rhino,african elephant and other nice models.(total of 21 diagrammed models!)
I can't wait to buy it...

Looks like a good book! Can't wait to buy it.

Great job, Quentin.

...is available now. I just bought mine! /

Just ordered mine!

I am eagerly looking forward to this one.

Quentin Trollip served in the military and received his degree in Physiotherapy.The art of paper-folding has been around for hundreds of years and, like most things, has evolved significantly. Many of models use interesting color-change effects.

Someone has already figured out the Secret code.

Just got Origami Sequence and its fantastic. Thanks to Quentin and Nicolas Terry.

The book suggests a triple layer of tissue (presumably the cheap stuff that leeks dye and fades with age) for the bald eagle. Before I commit two sheets of it, can the Bald Eagle be well folded from double Unryushi (of the size recommended (60cm2)?

Hi NickH

Thank you!

Yes, i did fold it with brown unryu mc'ed onto white unruy, and on 60cm it was thin enough.
The brown did bleed through very slightly though on my fold , but if it doesnt, it should be perfect.
I'm glad you want to try this one! Cant wait to see it, because it's not too easy!

My fold (the picture in the book) is actually unryu-foil-unryu, which is significantly thicker, than without the foil, but also I used a bigger square.

Good luck, I cant think too many people will actually want to fold this one, but I may be wrong.

Q

i want to fold it!

Me too!

Thanks for the quick response and paper info Quentin. I can't believe you think people wouldn't want to try this design! I could be wrong, and I certainly don't mean it as an insult, but compared to some other complex works it doesn't look that hard - challenging and I am sure rewarding - but not frustrating or "WTF does that mean". I would say that the way the wings are constructed is truely inspired - you just cant get that sort of inspiration from treemaker (no disrespect to treemaker - it has its place and uses). I dont have it in front of me now but I laughed (in joyous surprise) when I saw the steps that see it go from one narrow strip to having wings (by pulling out the "pleats").

When I MC brown and white unryu I always get a little discoloration of the white side but not enough for it to concern me. Strangely I dont get this from black and white. I like double Unryu alot so you can imagine I am really happy with your book - thanks again

I get this effect as well when MCing white unryu to very dark papers. On Quentin's horse, I actually mixed some white acrylic to the MC, which totally saturated the white sheet, you can hardly guess where the fibers were visible.

Josh,
Do not dare, like usual, to rape a sheet of paper and, before all, a so awesome model!!
If Quentin will not do it, i'll certainly sue you!!

I got the book for christmas, and I love it! Good job Quentin! I'm just curious; (if you see this) For the eagle, how did you come up with the idea to use those pleats/flaps in front as an underside of the bird? I was moving along and thinking "Why does this eagle have front legs?" the entire way through.

In other news, besides HankSimon, does anyone have any clue about the code? Nothing seems obvious (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

I tried MCing two sheets of Unryu [brown and white] to each other and produced a >50 cm sheet with it, but it would seem that the sheet was rather thick. It's foldable, but doesn't look as neat as I hoped it would look. Are there different types of Unryu out there, with different weight/thickness?
