This model is also known as the "Snap Hexahedron". It is an action model with a high "ooh!" factor. It was created by Larry Hart, a longtime member of the BOS, who passed from Covid-19 a few months ago, and I am offering this in his memory. It is one of my favorite models. I learned it in the 1980s from Verdi Adams, who called it the "Oh! Fold". I will be teaching from diagrams by Hans Dybkjær that Larry considered crucial to a full appreciation of this model. He once told me that using this folding sequence is "60 - 75% of the model!", and he preferred that people use it because "it [is] so much fun to do that way".
