The Origami Forum

Okay can someone help.Im trying to find a base or crease pattern that would permit me to make a circular shape, like a rocket. any help would be great.(oh and please dont make the crease pattern really complicated, i havent been on the forum for a while and lost some of what i knew)Thanks!

I am not completely sure i understand what you mean, but this links might help:

http://www.zingman.com/origami/ori_things.html#ufo

that isnt what im looking for but thanks anyway!

Are you looking for a tube shape?

firstfold's Battle of Hampton Roads has diagrams on how to make a circle. I think the video diagrams can be found in his flickr.

Be more specific and maybe someone here could help you. A circular base doesn't ring a bell at least for me.

sorry like the rocket ship in Brimstone's link except it is a cylinder.

You seem like a nice guy and I am in a really helping mood so I am going to try one more time.
When you said you are looking for something like the rocket I showed you in another link but being it circular, wouldn't the UFO (flying saucer) on the other link I gave you would fit your purposes?

Or are you looking for how to make a circle?

Be prolific in what you ask for and you might find it.

er... like a common conception of a rocket... okay, a base that would allow me to make suposedly a cigarette or rocket... or an apollo command/service module if you know what i mean. sorry but im not really flexible at the moment. My mind feels sorta locked up.

So why don't the rocket and/or the UFO in the diagrams that I pointed you to serve your purposes? Why does it have to be from a circle?

never mind.And dont pay attention to "circular''. people are thinking this means a flat circle. actually, a cylinder would be circular from the top.this is what i meant. Sorry.

Like a damn pipe?

Just roll a sheet of paper

Nah, is it something like this?
