This Square shaped coaster is assembled from rectangles instead of squares. The 4 modules are 15cm x 7.5cm rectangular Korean Duo-coloured pattern papers. The module is simply a 45 degrees reverse-fold and assembled without glue. The front and the back of the model are the same.
This series was created in 1990 and first published in Modular Origami [self-publication].
OK, one diagram. Each polygon cross module has its own folding sequence to find the right angle. So I would have here enough models to write a book (puuh, let's see).
You can see in this sequence what is important for the modules. The angle, that I need for the octagon, is marked in step 7 (67.5 degrees). The first steps are similar to the folding of a wire frame module. The only difference is step 8. Here I open the pocket of the wire frame modules to get a new pocket and flap for the cross modules. And you have to pay attention that the width of the new flap is equal to the width of the pocket. That is the reason for the steps 5 and 6.
You can influence the size of the opening at the center by changing the starting point of the folding in step 2. Here it is at the center of the bottom line. You can shift it more to the left. You only have to pay attention that it is still a 45 degrees fold.
Btw. just by using the 45 degrees crease in step 2 for the wire frame pocket, you get the square cross module. And If you again bisect the crease of step 3 then you come to the 16er. Are you ready for the 32er ???
The assembly of the modules is similar to the assembly of the square cross modules, only now with 8 modules.
The left of the Octagon Crosses is the finished model from this diagram.
Good luck !!

One of my favourite places in this module -- the steps leading up to the Market Square.
Small rotation module. This module is the first part of the rotary table. A second module will later in the other direction. Insects coming in the nodal point. They remain centered in the picture even when rotating. There are small attachments on this rotary table. There is an internal brake, thus, the insects remain beautiful in their place. The brake consists of a nylon sleeve which is tightened by means of a screw. The braking force can be perfectly arranged.

My only regret is that the escapement should have more of a slope and be less vertical.
The plastic guard was there so the trains don't fall off into the abyss during display by accident. I probably shouldn't build it so close to the edge anyway. Depends what I'm doing with this module I may extend out anyway, who knows.

The European Service Module that will power and propel the Orion spacecraft on its first mission around the Moon ships from Bremen to the United States. It will take off in an Antonov An-124 aircraft in the early hours of 5 November and arrive at Kennedy Space Center in Florida, US on 6 November.
Designed and manufactured in Italy and Germany, the powerful workhorse is Europe’s contribution to humanity’s return to the Moon.

N scale town module -- various kits
Street leading to town hall. Originally it was a tree-lined avenue but the two trees fell during the move. Perhaps for the next photo shoot they will be restored.
There is one play upon words with the fire in the "Étienne Brûlé" brewery.
The employees occupied to drink on the roof forgot to check the manometers and valve which consequently started a fire. They are too drunk to realize that the fire is under their feet.
The second brewery is located in the old CN roundhouse in Toronto. Every evening, there is a cocktail with beer tasting.
The third one is from Belgium with a portable alambic for distillation of prunes, cherries and other fruits.
This module is one of the corners of my modular layout
Enjoy,

The Orion crew and service module stack for Artemis I was lifted out of the Final Assembly and Test (FAST) cell on Monday, November 11. The spacecraft has been stationed in the FAST cell since July 2019 for mating and closeout processing.
The service module and crew module were moved separately into the cell, stacked and connected together for the mission.
After lifting out of the cell, Orion will be attached to a tool called a verticator that rotates the stack from its vertical configuration to a horizontal configuration for transport to NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Sandusky, Ohio, USA, where it will undergo full environmental testing to certify the complete vehicle for flight.
Once the vehicle returns to NASA's Kennedy Space Centre it will return to the FAST cell for installation of final panels left off for environmental testing purposes and the service module’s four solar arrays.

"The Soviet Soyuz spacecraft is contrasted against a black-sky background in this photograph taken in Earth orbit from the American Apollo spacecraft during the joint U.S.-USSR Apollo Soyuz Test Project (ASTP) docking in Earth orbit mission. This view is looking toward the aft end of the Soyuz. Two solar panels protrude out from the spacecraft's Instrument Assembly Module."

The Apollo Lunar Module (LM) was the lander portion of the Apollo spacecraft built for the US Apollo program by Grumman to carry a crew of two from lunar orbit to the surface and back. Six such craft successfully landed on the Moon between 1969–1972.
