MODULAR ORIGAMI MODEL
I used papers of about 3,5x3,5 inch or 9x9 centimeters to make each
individual piece
for this model.
Step 1:
This is the front of the paper.
The backside is completely white.
Turn the paper.
Step 2:
Prefold the paper over these 4 lines.
Step 3:
First, make a valley-fold over the 2
lines below, on the right.
Then, make a mountain-fold over the 2
lines in the middle.
And make a valley-fold over the 2 lines
on the top left.
Now you get a basic shape.
Step 4:
Make a valley-fold over these 2 lines.
Make these folds over the upper 2 layers
of paper.
Step 5:
Unfold the folds you've made in step 4
Step 6:
Pull the end at the bottom of the arrow
upwards
by making a valley-fold over the red
line.
Step 7:
Press the edges indicated by the arrows
flat from above.
You don't have to make new folding lines
to do this,
everything is prefolded in step 4
Step 8:
Repeat step 4 to 7 on the backside of
the model.
Step 9:
Fold the piece on the right of the red
line to the left
by making a valley-fold over this red
line (=bookfold).
Step 10:
Fold the piece below the red line
upwards by making
a valley-fold over this red line.
Step 11:
Repeat step 9 and 10 on the backside of
the model.
Step 12:
Fold the end indicated by the arrow
downwards by making
an inside reverse fold over these 3
lines.
Step 13:
The arrow shows the end which
you've folded downwards
in step 12
Repeat step 12 on the other 3 same ends
of the model.
Step 14:
Make 6 of these pieces for one
complete modular model.
Step 15:
This paper is coloured on one
side too.
It has the same size as the blue papers.
Fold the paper in half by making a
mountain-fold
over this line.
Step 16:
Make a valley-fold over this
line.
Step 17:
Make a valley-fold over this line
Step 18:
Fold the model in half one more time
over this line.
Step 19:
Unfold the model until it has the same
shape as
in step 16
Step 20:
First, make a valley-fold completely on
the right.
Then make the valley-fold next to the
first line.
Continue making valley-folds until the
line completely
on the left.
You don't have to make new folding lines
to do this,
everything is prefolded.
Step 21:
Here a part of the folds in step 20 is
already done.
These folds are just like rolling the
model up.
Step 22:
Make 12 of these pieces.
Step 23:
Insert the end of the blue piece in the
opening of the
end of the orange piece (see arrows)
Step 24:
Connect an orange piece to the other 3
ends of the
blue piece, the same as I explained in
step 23
Step 25:
Insert one end of each of the 4 blue
pieces in the
4 orange pieces indicated by the 4
arrows on the left.
Step 26:
Insert the 2 blue ends indicated by the
arrows on the left
in the openings of the orange piece on
the right.
Now the 2 blue ends are connected to
each other.
Step 27:
Repeat step 26 on the other 3 same
places of the model,
see arrows.
Step 28:
Turn the model.
Step 29:
Insert the 4 blue ends indicated by the
arrows in
the opening of an orange piece.
Step 30:
Insert all 4 ends of one blue piece in
the opening
of the 4 orange pieces indicated by the
arrows.
Done!
Looks a
little futuristic.
