It was really hard to come up with an idea of folding caterpillar track and even the afterward folding job was quite exhausting..
Anyway, I'm currently trying to make my new secret models like this one, into a computer program-drawn diagrams. I'll be happy if anyone could draw it for me.. :-)

Here's one more fan-fold pendant. I made this for my swap but decided to keep it for myself. I'm getting very good use of my buttons making these designs. Here's an interesting button I've wanted to use for a long time and I love how it looks with this pendant.

Townsend Fold signal box on the Down side of the line by Holme Lane level crossing at Rawtenstall. Monday 31st July 1989
Townsend Fold signal box is a British Railways London Midland Region type 15 design fitted with a 10 lever London Midland Region Standard frame that opened as a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing on 29th March 1959, replacing an 1878 built 22 lever Saxby & Farmer type 9 design signal box located on the opposite side of the line. The signal box was operated by a travelling gatekeeper from 5th June 1972 until 5th December 1980 when traffic ceased. The line between Heywood Ground Frame and Rawtenstall was officially closed on 8th April 1981 although a series of specials were operated on 28th March 1982. Ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it as a non block post on 29th March 1991 and renamed it Townsend Fold Level Crossing in 2003
The signal box carries a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate

I used a 48 cm sheet of green elephant hide (hehe rare color!). I folded this about a year ago, but never got around to taking a picture of it. It might be one of the only folds I am satisfied with.
At home in the rain with not much to do, work and life at full speed kicks off again tomorrow. So I have been in geek mode sorting out my cameras. Here are geeky photograps of cameras. The two cameras are both German and achieve small sizes though folding theier lenses away behind protective covers when not in use.
The big one is an Agfa Super Isolette made in Berlin some time between 1954 and 1958.
The small on is a Minox 35 EL made in Geissen/Heuschelheim between 1974 and 1979.
Both cameras are engineered very well in the best German tradition, they both work well and have that solid German feel. They are both tactile delights to use, all controls have asatisfying feel to them and work accuratey. This makes the process of making photographs a series of tactile, thought filled satisfying events. Being film cameras they both contain lots of mechanical components to move the film on, maintian registration and hold it flat during exposure. Both have shutters that are near silent but the photographer can hear two satisfying clicks as accurately made components open and clise the shutters.
Both cameras have four element Tessar lenses, the Agfa uses unit focusing where the whole lens moves during focusing. The Minox usesfront cell focusing where only the front lens element moves,it is a much stronger element than the others in the lens so it only has to move one ninth the dsitance a unit focusing lens needs to move. Both lenses are of very high optical quality and when used well can produce finely resolved immages with a 3D look. They reproduce skin tones well and can handle the whole range of contrasts presented by all kinds of lighting and subjects. Lesser lenses just use high contrast to give an appearance of quility and definition. These lenses are made of the finest German optics.
The size differnce between the cameras is due to thier format sizes, the larger Agfa uses 120 roll film and uses a square 6x6 cm format. The smaller Minox uses 135 film using a 24x36 mm format. The Agfa is loaded with Kodak Portra 160 and the Minox with Kodak Exra Color 200.
Highway 11 was once known as the Muskoka Road. According to the historic plaque at this picnic site:
“During the 1850's and 1860's the government attempted to open up the districts lying north of the settled townships by means of "Colonization Roads". Free land was offered to persons who would settle along the route, clear a stated acreage and help maintain the road. In 1858 construction began on a road from Washago to the interior of Muskoka. R.J. Oliver was appointed the government land agent at the Severn Bridge and directed the progress of the settlement. The road was completed to the site of Bracebridge by 1861 and the adjacent bushland formed into the townships of Morrison, Muskoka, Draper and Macaulay.”
I was driving along Highway 11 looking admiring the colours and trying to find a safe spot to stop and take a picture. I eneded up driving past this picnic site and just parking on the side of the road — got wet feet hiking back, but I think it was worth it!
This High Dynamic Range 360° panorama was stitched from 81 bracketed images with PTGUI Pro, tone-mapped with Photomatix, and touched up in Aperture.
Original size: 18222 × 9111 (166.0 MP; 185 MB).
Location: south of Gravenhurst along Highway 11, Ontario, Canada
It has a fold up optical viewfinder with a fairly primitive parallax correction device; The printed panel which is visible when the folder is open is to remind me of the film numbering (actually, numbers of dots as well as numbers!) to get six negatives reasonably well spaced. The negatives are nominally 6x11, and I made a little card mask to fit in the viewfinder to show this size.
Test fold of the "Pig" designed by Quentin Trollip.
It's a free diagram, thanks to him for this sharing.
The sheet here was a 26cm square, for a result of 11cm in length.
I folded it with some interpretations, little changes here and there, to make the pig looking more the one i had in mind.
The paper came from a funny error : while treating two sheets with mc, with in mind an another model to fold (not a pig at all), the black lokta sheet partially dyed the pink mulberry. The result was this pattern on a side.
In fact, it's easy to get it and i think i will try to repeat this kind of "error" some other times !
The Folding Pocket Kodak was a folding camera made by Eastman Kodak Co. Ltd., Rochester, from 1897-98. Frank Brownell was its designer. It took 2 1/4×3 1/4 exposures on Kodak 105 film rolls and had an Achromatic f/11 lens. The price was $10.
I am unable to find a name for this interesting camera. The magazine section folds down, encasing the bag-bellows, and lines up with the front lens/shutter section and cover plate at the top.
The rear viewfinder magnifier folds down to cover the change-bag arrangement, while the front wire-sight folds flush against the folded body.
The shutter is string set, and has a very distinctive Thornton-Pickard style operation.
Any assistance naming the manufacturer would be appreciated.

Waterpocket Fold Terrain. Capitol Reef National Park, Utah. October 22, 2014. © Copyright 2014 G Dan Mitchell - all rights reserved.
Deep erosion gullies below an uplifted rock band empty into the valley below, with rugged terrain extending into the distance
Until a few years ago, although I had heard the term "waterpocket fold" before, I was almost completely unaware of what this geological feature is. Since that time I have visited it several times. On the first occasion I visited the area, but I still did not understand the geology. I "got it" that there was some sort of uplift — the land rising to the west of Capitol Reef was a pretty good clue — but I did not understand or really see any of the connections. I recall stopping at one road side pullout and seeing a sign about it, registering that it is something important, but not really understanding.
On more recent visits the reality of this huge and striking feature has finally sunk in. I began to see it a few years ago on a trip that took we away from main roads and way up on a rocky ridge from which I could look down into the eastern valley and clearly see some of the larger patterns — sinuous lines of angled rock, the valley twisting gently into the distance in the south. On the most recent visit it began to make a lot more sense, as I noticed features like the shadowed cliff band across the center of this photograph, which more or less represents the remaining underside of a layer that long ago continued on up into what today would be the sky. Its edge overhangs the softer material below, though it still erodes into the bottom of the valley. Further to the east in this photograph the impossibly rugged terrain of arid strata continues, eventually rising to a mountain range in the far distance.

This is a substitute for my original shot that I was not particularly happy with. This I think is much more creative.

From a kite base. I always wanted to do a shark after seeing Leong Cheng Chit's Reef Shark from a kite. This model is closed-belly (well, kind of...). Well, I guess this is my new favorite model of the year...
#51: symmetry:
The six-fold symmetry of a snow crystal ultimately derives from the hexagonal geometry of the ice crystal lattice.
no real snow available, so the tree ornament must do ;-)
A basic "skeleton" for new design variations based on my Magic Folding "Fidget" Cube.
Based on this skeleton cube I found four variations of the basic design (A ... D) with the pivot points at the same positions but with some different details (changes marked with orange parts). Each of the designs has six folding steps (1 ... 6) so you get 24 different versions of a symmetrical cube or cuboid that you can use as a base for a foldable micro scale Lego model.
