in the comment section of the triphilia I was asked how I achieved all those triangle twists being so nice and clean. I said that it's mostly a matter of training but it's also a bit about the technique. I wrote a rather lengthy answer to dan and I'll just copy it into the first comment below.
then andy was asking, too, which frankly quite surprised me seeing as he's been tesselating for so long and doing it absolutely marvelously. anyway, I thought I'd just take a video of me folding the model. that video's in real time, so you can have a educated guess at how long it takes me to fold these models. (the video even shows me in "concentrated and kinda fast folding" mode. usually I think I'm slower :) ).
oh yeah, flickr only allows video lengths up to 3:00, so I cut the film. if you want to see the whole thing I have just opened a youtube channel for that. it was a surprisingly arduous effort (rather slow internet connection), so I hope it's worth it... ;-P
so the long video is here.
This small rover is designed to fit into the CS Explorer planetary survey craft. Once folded down it can be stored in the rear of the craft.
It's also my entry for the FebROVERy group!

Folding knife by Honey Badger. Done for the Crazy Tuesday "Geometry" challenge, but then I went with something else. Converted to B&W.
Designed and folded by me.

Too busy with school to design things these days...
And of course the day before I have to leave back to college is a rainy day, so I could not use sunlight and had to use something else instead.
I believe this model is well folded but poorly designed. It's just a graft for the arms(wings>) and legs. If I showed the CP, anyone can fold it. It's that easy. Actually now that I think about it it's not exactly my best designed folded model ever despite it being closed belly. The photo and model look sloppier than I originally thought. This is what months of no designing does to you.
I need to find a way to hide the color layer inside the legs. And perhaps I can exploit more color change. I guess that will happen when I revisit this in version 2.0
P.S. - Can someone teach me how to remove wire in photoshop? It doesn't help that I have version 7.0 on this computer...

I'm not gone guys! I stumbled across a woodworker on youtube who made a "red herring", so I decided to make my origami rendition of this literary pun. I was inspired by Tetsuya Gotani's Trout, which used a frog base to make a fish with all the fins, so I decided to challenge myself to use a frog base as well to see how far I can go. The anal fin should have been more pushed back near the tail, and it was a challenge to shape, but I think the end result looks fantabulous. ;)

Com es pot comprovar, la meravellosa Patent Etui es plega en un gruix d'uns 3cm., molt menys que la majoria de camères de gran format, tant de l'època com actuals.
La KW Patent Etui fou una cà mera de plaques alemana dels anys 20 i 30. Fins aquÃ, res de destacable entre les desenes de models similars, sobretot germanics, d'aquest tipus de camera. Però la Patent Etui destaca per ser extraordinariament compacta. Una meravella del diseny, i amés d'una gran bellessa. Es fabricà entre 1920 i 1938 en dues mides , 6'5x9 i 9x12 (la mida d'aquesta de la imatge). La fabricà KW, es a dir Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch, de Dresde. El fet que els propietaris de la marca fossin jueus propicià que marxessin als Estats Units, i els nous propietaris canviaren a altres tipus de cà meres.
Al ser tant compacta, fou comparada a una capsa de cigarretes (etui en alemany), i d'aquà el nom. És tant petita i lleugera que cal comparar els seus 815 gr. amb els de la tipica nord-americana Speed Graphic, de l'època. Aquesta només proporciona un negatiu lleugerament més gran i en canvi pesa 2,4 kg.!!!
La meva Patent Etui en concret monta un obturador Compur "dial set" anterior al 1931, i una lent Carl Zeiss Tessar f4.5 de 135mm. Més unic es el fet que porta una placa d'una empresa brità nica de fotografÃa, Sands, Hunter & Co. Ltd. Obviament aquest deuria ser l'importador per a aquesta cà mara, que es fabricà expressament per al mercat britanic, ja que té l'indicador de focus en peus. Entre que no s'exportà allà fins al 1928 i diversos nums. de sèrie, sembla que la podem datar per al 1929.
========================================
As you can see, the Patent Etui folded was just barely 3 cm thick! Much less than most large format cameras, then and now.
The KW Patent Etui was a German plate camera from the 1920s and 30s. By itself, this makes them unremarcable among dozens of similar models, especially German ones. But the Patent Etui stands out for its compactness. It's a marvel of design,and beautifully done. It makes it look much more modern. It was manufactured between 1920 and 1938 in two sizes, 6'5x9 and 9x12 (this one). The company responsible was KW, aka Kamera Werkstätten Guthe & Thorsch, from Dresden. The fact that the owners of the brand were Jews caused them to flee to the United States, and the new owners changed production to other types of cameras.
Being so compact, it was like carring a cigarette box (etui in German), and so the name. It's so small and light that you have to compare its 815 gr. with those of the typical American Speed ​​Graphic, of the time. This one only provides a slightly larger negative and instead weighs 2.4 kg.!
My Patent Etui specifically carries a "dial set" Compur shutter, made before 1931, and a Carl Zeiss Tessar f4.5 135mm lens. More unique is the fact that it has a badge of a British photography company: Sands, Hunter & Co. Ltd. Obviously this should be the importer for this camera, which was manufactured specifically for the British market, since it has the focus indicator in feet. As it was not exported to the UK till 1928 and according to lens & shutter serial numbers, it looks like it was made in 1929.

An uplifted fault meanders over 100 miles through Utah, and it goes by several names: San Rafael Swell, Capitol Reef, and Waterpocket Fold. The western side was lifted 4,000 feet higher than the eastern side, though erosion has whittled away at the difference.
Photo taken from Strike Valley Overlook, looking south, in the late afternoon. The Waterpocket Fold continues south to the shore of Lake Powell at Bullfrog.
