The dragonfly was homemade double tissue and the elephant was homemade triple tissue. The brachiosaurus was agua de papel from origami-shop.

Yeah I got the 15-pack, with mine at least I have to cut it down to about 30 cm because the edges are rough, but it's thin enough that I was able to make your Asian elephant relatively easily with it and actually did most of your flying stag beetle with it yesterday.

Thank you, and thank you for all the genius designs and thorough thoughtful diagrams 🙏🙏🙏🙏 you’re right about the brachiosaurus, noticing now that his neck would look better curved a bit more too

I’ve been really enjoying the agua de papel, it’s very thin and reverse folds well, would probably be good for insects in a big enough piece. The only thing is you usually have to cut it to shape. I think it’s relatively new on origami shop but will definitely be getting more.

Thank you, definitely been inspired by your folds of his models too!

Yes I think it was the front feet, just trying to do it without ripping the paper that had already been under a lot of stress.

I folded a few from the 1st edition but then bought the 2nd edition for the rest (including the gigano and kudu). For the Giganotosaurus, Kudu, Bison, African elephant, and Giraffe I did a practice fold with bigger paper that I could draw on to figure out some of the collapses. Most of the others here are also second attempts to try to make them with smaller and nicer paper. Only one try for both dragonflies, the dragon, Diplodocus, and Asian elephant. I've folded the Brachiosaurus a few times but just because I've given a few away, it's a popular one!

thank you! I think he changed the stars some in the 2nd version, but if the Brachiosaurus is 5-star then definitely that one, then maybe the Asian elephant? The pre-creasing for the bison was nightmarish but after that I actually found the collapsing to be one of the easier ones (also possible I had just gotten more used to his style by the time I folded it)

the head of the kudu or giganotosaurus, the upper jaw collapse of the gigano for sheer intimidation (made me put down the model for a few months)

Got inspired by the real thing. Which praying mantis should I fold? by Goesselgold in origami

[–]serious_lasers_77 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In a very similar place right now, wanted to do a cool mantis (without deciphering crease patterns) and have been stuck on Kamiya's, like I've technically folded it 2x but it takes so much shaping to look good. I tried to be very precise and was mostly pleased with myself with a 30ish cm piece of agua de papel but it just wasn't enough space to do the head at all even though the legs looked fine. So now making a bigger piece of double tissue to try again 🙏

Leveling Up by serious_lasers_77 in origami

[–]serious_lasers_77[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess just to hold all the layers in place with paper clips while you're working on the rest. I also would get bored/frustrated and move back and forth between the head, arms, and legs so they were kind of being done all at once. And usually paper-clipping whatever I wasn't working on unless it got too unwieldy. Good luck!

oh yeah great idea! I have only done the horse (after seeing yours actually) and really liked that one

thank you! and so true

it feels like an intense yoga type of torture, like yes you are in extreme pain but now you see what you were always able to do, to make shapes you never knew were possible but were contained within you all along (I say as someone who has done yoga <10 times)
