The Origami Forum

Okay, here's my first model that I've folded since joining the forum. It's a 270 unit Buckyball made out of Thomas Hull's PHiZZ units. I will post more models as I fold them or get around to taking pictures.

Cool, Do you fold primarily modulars?

The Buckyball must have taken a lot of patience, well done!

Thanks!

I've been focusing a lot on the modular units lately. I will attempt to fold anything that catches my interest and actually just picked up a copy of Origami Design Secrets and will probably fold some of Robert Lang's models once I get the right sized paper.

The reason I've done so many modulars is that I bought a bunch of small crane sized squares for a school project that I never got around to doing and am now trying to use them up. ^_^

The buckyball actually only took about two days to do. I work as a student assisting in the university library and much of the work is just sitting at the desk waiting to check books in and out. I made it there.

Crane sized squares like 7.5cm?

7.0 centimeter. Pretty small, but perfect size for modular units.

heh, i was 'that' close!
