Wasp 2.6

Origami Wasp 2.6 designed by Satoshi Kamiya and folded by Ivan Svatko.

That's something I always wanted to fold. Now I'm very glad that I acheived more or less satisfactory result. I used 40x40cm square of Tissue paper which isn't small but tissue paper is too soft. It takes ages to fold one so I don't know when I'll fold it again. But honestly I should to because I have some interesting ideas about modifying it.

First of all I want to make the head and the body more 3D. While the head is rather OK, the body is just weird. I know that's the part of Kamiya's original design but it looks perfect for me just in his own versions. I can't copy it. I want to shape it in my own way, I want to make something between Kamiya's Wasp 2.0 and Lang's Yellow Jacket but using more productive base which 2.6 has.

Next, I want to work more on the details of head and body. I've already added extra pleats to abdomen now I have to shape the head properly.

Finally, the wings. I don't know whether I'll touch them but I always want to fold them to the back, to align with the abdomen.

So now I just have to try. The first step is done)
