Downloadable Origami Motorcycles

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the somthing-completely-different dept.

  1. not really origami by dakkar · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "origami" means something like "folded paper". The Yamaha models are made by cutting and pasting paper, not folding. So they're not origami.

    They're cool nonetheless...

    Have a look at 'Paper Models International'. I've been buying models from them occasionally for over ten years, and they've got some amazing things in the catalog.

    Check out the JS Schrieber models of the Chartre Cathedral, and the first German locomotive, "Der Adler". The detail is fantastic.

  4. More paper fun by FunkyRat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've always been fascinated by origami and paper models. Perhaps that's because I am so very bad at both. Anyway, here's some more paper goodness.

    • Star Trek paper models. There's a fantastically detailed Enterprise 1701 (refit) there.
    • Origami and Math. My calculus teacher in high school had a whole array (pardon the pun) of paper polyhedra.
    • Origami dinosaurs. I love the paper Tyranosaurus. Now if I only had paper Marshall, Will and Holly's to go with these I could play Origami Land of the Lost!
