The Origami Forum

Hi,

I search a diagram for complex turtle Need help, then I can't find one.

How complex do you wish your Turtle to be?
A very complex one with patterned shell can be found in Robert Lang´s book "Origami Design Secrets". The Seaturtle from Michael LaFosse´s book "Advanced Origami" is also one of the more complex ones.
Less complex but still very nice turtles can be found here and here (this one looks a lot better in real and has a really fascinating folding sequence, also there´s special patterned paper available only for this model, well worth a try).

Robert Lang and Michael Lafosse's turtles are both quite nice. Michael's turtle happens to be a quicker fold that doesn't require a load of reference points. Robert Lang's turtle happens to be a pond turtle and includes the individual plates on the shell and claws on each foot. Michael Lafosse's is a sea turtle and has a streamline form. It also has the belly plate, which he makes a note of in his book.

Try turtle of Pat Craford.

My favorite complex turtle is Romain Chevrier's turtle. Diagrams can be found in Origami USA 2001 Collection, BOS Magazine 206 February 2001, and Papiroflexia Coleccion.

My favorite turtle of all time is Montroll's from Animal Origami for the Enthusiast. It is simpler, but clean and elegant.

Theodor, also if you aren´t good in English, writing names including booknames false if they are written in the previous post so that you just have to copy and paste them if you are unsure about their spelling is just laziness and therefore inexcusable.

Guessing that you don´t know some of the words I used, here´s a good dictionary: http://dict.leo.org/ use it.
