This is a simple action model which has been described (fairly accurately) as "the origami equivalent of popping bubble-wrap". The model is very simple to fold - only valleys and mountains. Beyond the folding, the assembly is straightforward and easy to grasp, but will require accurate folding to ensure that the resulting strips make the assembly easy - hence the LI rating. That said there are a few cheats available on the assembly side should they be needed. Please be very assured that the resulting model is WELL worth the effort!
- Uses cuts.
- This is a modular/composite requiring 6 sheets.
- The difficulty of assembling this model is in inverse proportion to the accuracy of the initial (albeit simple) folds. i.e. if your initial folds are accurate then assembly will be easy.
The diagrams appear in the British Origami Societies Convention book from the Liverpool Convention in September 2008 - Page 46.
This model will require 6 sheets of 15 cm (6 inch) Kami. Ideally three sheets of each of two colours.
You will also need the means to make accurate cuts as we will be cutting strips from these sheets.
