garfield1, PauliusOrigami, penselen, thank you!

No. There are four paper sheet: three square for Peter the Great, its horse and the stone plus one rectangle for the snake.

Well, Victoria can't win the challenge anyway since it's her challenge. Take it as inspiration

Your model is really amazing, Victoria. At first, I was certain that the horse and rider were from the same square.

And here's my very late submission :

Statue of Liberty (because someone just HAD to make her)
I would've folded her a lot earlier this month, but the lame weather (rain, wind and more rain) prevented me from glueing tissue fold outside.

Fantastic Sunburst!

Here's my entry to the challenge, folded from 6 squares: the body, helmet, sword, shield, cloak and stone.

King Alfred The Great

Alfred is one of Englands' most famous kings. This statue stands in Winchester where I live, and what was the capital of Wessex which he ruled over. His reign marked the beginnings of a kingdom of England.

Sunburst, this is a wonder. It's beautiful and it must have taken all month.

Matt, your work is shaped well as usual, and I like your subject. Between the two, I like Liberty. Great efforts guys.
