Wow :shock: I really need to learn how to fold this!

If you look at the video "twisted twins2" there are lines by all the creases, so I suspect that there is a CP somewhere

Well, I've gotten in contact and pointed him to the forums,
so with any luck, we may hear from him.

Little side note:(origami purists HIDE YOUR EYES)
the model is a glue-tab model. :D

So who´s up for the challenge to create one without glue?
(Maybe multi-piece for the first time the improvement to make it from a square can be done later...)

well, if it's multi-piece, all you have to do is figure out how to make a unit thats a square on the top and half a square on the bottom... and also, some way to join the units :D Good luck, everyone!

I think I have the solution or at least quite an appoximation to the original question.

Who else's but the great Thoki Yenn. Check "Rotating ring of displaced cubes" at the third page of http://www.britishorigami.info/academic ... ata15.html
