Day 116 - Origami Giraffe

Model	: Origami Giraffe
Design	: Traditional
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction

Video	: Tavin
Book	: Super Quick Origami Animals by Nick Robinson
Paper	: 3*3 Inch one side coloured square paper

This is a traditional origami model.It starts with origami bird base.I followed the video on Tavin's Channel This video is of 8 minutes but the actually folding after the bird base starts at 2.50 minutes and ends by 5.20 minutes. It's a nice tutorial and easy to follow.

The final model had pointed face and pointed legs which I have squared a bit because I thought it would look better.

Origami Elephant

Day 115 - Origami Elephant

Model	: Origami Elephant
Complexity	: Simple
Folding Instruction
Video	: Tavin
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

I found a lot of origami elephant models on internet.Some were simple and some complex.Simple once seemed too abstract and for the complex I wasn't in a mood to try out.Finally I found this model on Tavin15's channel on youtube.

This is easier than others but not abstract and is a 3D model.Use a thicker paper than usual but not very thick paper as the final intricate folds become tougher.

While folding the legs be bit careful to keep the hind and fore legs in the same level.

Day 114 - Origami Turtle by Robert J Lang

Model	: Origami Stealth Fighter
Design By	: Robert J Lang
Website	: langorigami.com
Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Video	: Marigami
	: Jonakashima
Book	: Origami Design Secrets by Robert J.Lang
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

Okay another one from the same book Origami Design Secrets by Robert J.Lang.This time it's a turtle.Though my first attempt of the turtle looks really messed up but I feel it was fair enough for the first attempt.

There are a few online instructional videos on the youtube channel by Marigami and Jonakashima.You can follow either of them.

Accurate folding is really a big requirement for this model and yes start with a fairly big square piece of paper. Once you have folded the tail and the legs the important part starts that is shaping the turtle shell and puffing the head .The instruction video may seem to be too fast at this point and you may feel frustrated ( Atleast I felt so when mine was not turning up properly) but be patient and follow the instructions carefully.Be careful while puffing the head and dont rip it.

Design By	: Robert J Lang

Complexity	: Medium
Folding Instruction
Video	: Tavin15
Book	: Origami Design Secrets by Robert J.Lang
Paper	: 4.5 Inches

This is my first flying object model to fold and I am happy that I tried a Robert J lang model.All thanks to the wonderful tutorial by Tavin15 on youtube.

As it is a model by Robert J lang many may think it would be quite tough but no its easy and the tutorial makes it even easier.

You can use a single side coloured paper for the model even though the tutorial speaks of using a double side coloured paper for the model.For single side coloured paper start with white side up.The model starts with W Boat base .
