3 Gyroelongated Square Dipyramids
I've been meaning to put up photos of my OUSA '08 exhibition models. These are the more note-worthy ones. (The 4 Irregular Hexahedra belongs with these as well)
3 Gyroelongated Square Dipyramids: The name is really not that confusing if you break it down one prefix at a time. I nicknamed this model "26 Rupees" specifically for folding it from green, blue, and red, because that would be it's value in rupees from the Zelda game series (1 + 5 + 20). This instance of the model is technically 71 rupees (1 + 20 + 50).
The first draft of this model was accidentally stumbled upon while messing around with the trash-units from when I was designing the 5 Wrinkled Octahedra model.
This was the model I taught at the convention this year, and I had a 14/15 success-rate of student completion, so I don't think this model is too difficult. Paper proportions are 1 x 4 per piece, and since you need 4 pieces per color, you can fold this from exactly 3 squares.
