The Origami Forum

I found this model but i don't know how to old it...
I was working with some rectangles but no good effect at all.
I hope somebody saw this model and can help me
Also it can be a challange for more advanced to fold it.(I've been folding for 8 years and i don't have enough experience to fold it)
(I can post only url link cause it's too wide)

Have fun!

hmmm... I've never seen that model so thanks for sharing it! I may have a bit of an idea on how its done... I will have a go at designing something similar in my spare time.
I will share a cp if my designing/reverse engineering is successful

That sword is by Andrés Sierra, here's a better picture of it:

Brimstone thanks for name
As far I know there is no CP :/
So rev engineering is the only way to reveal CP

The sword is awesome!! Does reverse engineering mean folding the model without diagram or CP? (sorry about my bad vocabulary )

Tahaorigami Yes. Also you can notice that some parts are similar to other models so you can use some parts of Cp from another model. And doing lots of test folds to get closer to the original.
It's hard but it greatly trains your brain

Yeah you are right. It almost seems impossible to me to fold it just by looking at it but I was very surprised when I saw Langko folding Joisel's Gandalf without diagrams or CP.
I also see some parts in it which are similar to other models. The handle of the sword (maybe) is made like the Ryujin 2.1 scales.

We have a whole thread dedicated to models folded just like that, no diagrams, no CP, just by looking at pictures. Check it at: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=1558

As for the sword I'm friends with Andrés and there is no CP nor diagram for it.

My local group gathered today and Andrés was there, he said he wasn't sure, but he thought the sword was made from a 1 x 4 rectangle.

That's really big help.
Thanks Brimstone

Andrés just opened a Flickr account at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25740282@N05/

Check the new version of his sword made from a 6 x 1 rectangle of double foil sandwich:
