The Origami Forum

I was wondering if anyone knew of the creator or if there were diagrams for this model.

Thanks!

Hi.. That's Jason Ku's Nazgul.
No diagrams I think, but he published a CP here.

I'm a bit confused though about the model's name. Isn't "Nazgul" supposed to be the name of the flying dragons in "The Lord of The Rings"?

Looks like The Nazgul by Jason Ku

Oops: at the same time.... Nazgul is the name of the dark knights. They either come on horses or dragons... I once tried to design the dragon which is really cool...

aah.. I see..
I was confused because of the scene where Faramir heard the Dragon's voice and then he said "Nazgul.....". I thought it was the dragon he was refering to..

this one would be also SO cool for origami... working on a cp these days:

They are called Mumakil or Oliphaunts. I love the four tusks

merman, your picture link doesn't work. Also, I believe someone has already designed a mumakil.

Yup, Jason Ku designed a Mumakil as well (and also a Balrog ).

Jason Ku is an excellent creator. I miss him producing models and uploading them and their CP's almost every week. I hope he is doing good at MIT.

Hes too busy fighting Brian Chan with light sabers and shurikens ;p. I saw him at OUSA 2007, hes still creating, was working on a dolphin at the time.

He now makes fewer, but superior and quite creative design-wise pieces. But yeah, I miss the frequent correspondence on origami design we had.

Trekker: In the first movie when they get to the prancing pony and join up with Aaragorn, Frodo hears their screeching and asks,

"What are they?" And Aaragorn replies,

"They are the nazgul, ring wraiths, neither living nor dead."

Cool model by the way I just wish the legs on the horse weren't pointy but had hooves or something.
