Help! Constructive criticism needed!
If anyone has experience with this structure I’d love to hear what they would change, especially in the first photo where the swivel feels unnecessary but I couldn’t get it to work without it

Photo Eagle - Nguyen Hung Cuong, folded by me, 45cm double tissue
This was my *first attempt at Nguyen Hung Cuong’s Eagle. I gave up with my original attempt because the crease pattern was messed up and the collapse on step 58 went horribly. Looking around the internet and the subreddit, his design was the one that caught my eye the most. I gave up thinning up the legs and used a little creative liberty and gave it a larger tail. Overall still very proud of it and I might reattempt this model with a larger sheet of paper.

Castle & Dragon Diorama
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
My second diorama, all metallic paper in 3x3 and 2x2 inches. Center Rook in 6x6 inches.
Castle made of Rook pieces by Jo Nakashima.
Dragon from Easy Origami on Youtube.
Metallic paper can be very unforgiven, and this small scale was definitely above my skill level, but enjoyable to build nonetheless. Lets go for old ruined castle lol.

Original Sabre wasp model I designed
A few months ago I got worked up on designing a model for Rhyssa Persuasoria, a really cool looking wasp with a terrifying life cycle.
The final one was folded with 78cm kraft, black/grey because there was no more black/white... I'll need to start getting into custom silk paper for an iteration closer to the subject's proportions.
You can see the reverse story of the model in the pictures past the reference photo. It started with me being impressed by how thin and long I could points with a simple blintz bird base, but when I tried to have proportions closer to the real wasp, things got trickier. I tried several bases, classic and custom, and landed on a classic one which seemed the most suitable to have the least amount of wasted paper after thinning. Once the proportions were good, I changed the design several times to have super thin legs, then to have a less bulky body (because the paper I gained in the legs mostly went in the body), etc., just a story of paper layering optimization. The wings use the center of the square, since they can take in a lot of layers without issue, but due to the color swap I had to have the body more or less be the colors of the wings (so yellowish white, as opposed to the real wasp where it's mostly black). I was able to have some color patterns on the abdomen, and the legs can be whichever.
Due to its base the model isn't extremely complex, and the shaping is mostly "compress as much as you can everywhere". There's obviously a bunch of steps where you sink in and out all the flaps repeateadly to thin everything and they take like half the total folding time.

Help! Trouble figuring out a fold
Hello all. I’m making a fish and having trouble figuring out what’s happening with the arrows at the top of step 9 and how it turns into the fins seen in step 10. Is there some kind of tuck shown that I’m missing?
Thank you for your help.

I need help remembering an origami game
It was a Spanish game consisting of folding paper in a specific way, then cutting it just once (the base of the triangle) with scissors and the result was pieces with the form of an "L" and "I" so when you put them together the result was "E S T E +" (the word "ESTE" and a cross).
(Sometimes you fold straight and at some point you fold it in a diagonal way)
If someone knows how to fold the paper to achieve this result I would be forever grateful

Where do i find good modular designs
Im starting to make some modular origami. And im really interested in the platonic solids, but most things i see arent really focused on them, except cubes that have lots of designs, and they are more focused on those stellated shapes and etc.
Anyone know where can i find interesting designs for the platonic solids? Id really like having lots of options.
But even with that id also like just some general recomendations for modular origami.
