Hexaflexgons and other flipping models

Post by motomagic »

I'm pretty adept at making Maritin Gardners hexaflexagond and doedecahexaflexgons from long strips of paper....I know you have to glue the last flap in place...but...hey its still folding paper as I see it! and I learnt to make them before I learnt origami...so I owe my intrest in origami to Mr G.

I even understand Tuckermans traverse
The mathematics of finding all sides in a flexagon.

There are other flipping models such as "Fireworks" by Yami Yamauchi
There were even a few in some of the Robert Harbin paperback books.

There is even a 3D version of a hexaflexagon on "enchanted learning" the web site you can print off.

Does anyone know of any other fold and flip models and instruction that are avaliable, that I might have overlooked?

Thanks

Magic.
