If I had a camera, I'd post my own :lol:

 

 

 

I luv the second icosahedron :P You can get really interesting things by linking multiple "pyramids" (the ones on each face) around a point. For instance, if you do points where 6 pyramids are linked, and links of 5 all around, you get something that looks like tetrahedron with pyramids on all 4 faces.I've seen that done, I'm pretty sure it takes 270 units.

 

4-pyramid links surrounded by links of 3 gives you something that looks like two merged cubes \

 

I understand it, How many Units would take?

 

If you don't understand what I mean by link, it's sort of like a vertice of the icosahedron. When I say 4-pyramid links surrounded by 3-pyramid links, think about how pentagons are surrounded by hexagons on the soccer ball.

 

 

 

Also, I've been experimenting with this somewhat lately. You know how making lucky stars starts, right? Make... 12 pentagons. (I think it's 12). Then loop the strips through the pentagons, you should be able to make a dodecahedron. I've managed to do it, but the ones I have are pretty fail :x You can probably pull it off \

 

100 % confused here. By pentagons you mean the lucky stars before you puff them out?

 

 

 

It's not 270 pieces, my hands would be dead blistered by now if it was :shock:

 

 

 

I think that one's like 8-10 pieces or something. Not sure, too lazy to go over to the box and take it out.

 

 

 

Yes, I mean the lucky stars before you puff them out :P

Thought I should BUMP it up.

My jaw litterally dropped when i saw the second Icosahedrons, that truly is amazing.

[bewareitsandrew]

Added crane.

[Zargo_VI]

Nice crane :)

I wish I could have the patience to do even one of those pieces. :mellow:

[bewareitsandrew]

I'll put some more up tomorrow, Planning on at least 5 more. I've been soooo lazy lately, I'm gonna make it a personal goal tomorrow to some more up :thumbup:

Oh, I love making those little stars.

Here's something you could try: get a massive nicely shaped jar and fill it up with lucky stars but in a colourful order (i.e create a gradient/rainbow with lucky stars). It ends up looking really nice! I made one for my friends birthday.

Nice work. I used to be into origami when I was your age.

[Wavemasta]

Very nice! I really like your Icosahedrons (Why can't someone think of a simple name for these things?), especially because I can't seem to pull them off myself, they keep falling apart.. Using glue would be cheating, right?

 

Ever tried making origami flowers? The lily, for instance, is very simple but looks neat. The kawasaki rose (Rose diagram)is a nice model to make, and it's pretty do-able (I'm not that good at origami, but I can make roses! :D). When I followed the diagram I ended up with a mess, but nothing a few instruction video's can't solve ;)

Another tip: try the Yuanbao (Yuanbao diagram)

 

Now it's time for me to make some lucky stars :D

 

(Ps. Did you know there is a legend about the origami crane? It is said that when a man makes a thousand cranes, his wish will be granted. Have fun folding.)

[bewareitsandrew]

I think I'm going to bring back this dead thread, I recently started playing RS again, and I also got back into folding again :D

 

I'll have a new model up tonight, just trying to decide what to do.

Added "The Unfortunate Bungee Jumper" or as I call it, "The man who flew out of an Intamin airtime machine"

With no cutting or gluing :wink:
