Up to that point it was fun to fold and interesting to assemble though hard to tuck the flaps in. Very sturdy. But transforming the pyramids such that the collars appear didn't work out--a crumpled model went into the dust bin. Hints appreciated, e.g. which paper to use. I tried standard Kami.

Yeah, I was a freaking geek at that time.

Harvey Andrews, ‘Soldier’, 1972. A folkie story-song. My Gran was from Derry so, unlike most people in the UK during The Troubles, I used to watch the TV news in the Seventies really frightened when I saw footage of another riot or car bomb; “My Granny lives there!”.
Not sure where or when I first heard this song. If not banned at the time it was certainly ignored as much as possible by the BBC and authorities on both sides. Harvey Andrews always regretted that it became a Loyalist anthem. He was just upset at another death. I’ll let you decide. For me, if it has to have an ‘ism’ attached to it, it’s Humanism.
Weirdly, the record was released on Marc Bolan’s label, Cube. Eclectic signing policy.

Shot with a Nikon D300s and a Sigma 105mm f2.8 lens. Lighting from 1 Lume Cube at 46% using light painting. Several shots combined in photoshop. Time taken to do project 15 mins.
first test with the LCD and the cube. getting sync and resolution right took a few tries, but eventually it looked best at 800x600 - though the LCD worked reliably at 1024x768.

It took me a while to understand the diagrams, sometimes not being able to grasp anything from japanese descriptions doesn't make it easier. When I had understood that I basically had to sink the corners of a windmill base it was fun to fold and assemble.
Assembly reminds me of Meenakshi Mukerjis cube from 24 pieces from Origami Inspirations in the sense of having two flaps on any edge. But these are only 6 face modules.
Glued it for tidiness, absolutely stable without.
Edit: Replace photo by a better one.

Cube Houses built in Rotterdam, designed by architect Piet Blom.
This model only requires 44 rods and 21 balls. Each cube vertex is made up by two balls: the outer holds the cube edges, the inner holds its diagonals. The balls remain strongly attached each other because of magnetic fields: the result is a very rigid and stable model!
A striking image of the Cube Houses in Rotterdam, designed by Piet Blom. These unique structures are known for their innovative and tilted design.
Description in Italian:
Un'immagine sorprendente delle case cubiche a Rotterdam, progettate da Piet Blom. Queste strutture uniche sono note per il loro design innovativo e inclinato.
I have more shots of this, which I will post, 'cause it's so freaking cool. Terminal 1, Pearson Airport, Toronto
"Cube houses (Dutch: Kubuswoningen) are a set of innovative houses built in Rotterdam and Helmond in the Netherlands, designed by architect Piet Blom and based on the concept of "living as an urban roof": high density housing with sufficient space on the ground level. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest.
The houses in Rotterdam were designed in 1977 in a plan of 55, of which 39 were built.
The houses in Rotterdam are located on Overblaak Street, right above the Blaak Subway Station. There are 38 small cubes and two so called 'super-cubes', all attached to each other.
As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a "show cube", which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of offering tours to visitors.
The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
In 2006, a museum of chess pieces was opened under the houses.
In 2009, the larger cubes were converted by Personal Architecture into a hostel run by Dutch hostel chain Stayokay."
