Found this link on the same blog site as the FJ-09 discussion...

Technically, that's not origami but papercraft.

I do papercraft, and I downloaded it already, and I'll start construction this weekend.

 

[Lauren_TK]

I just printed it.

It's around a hundred pages. This model will take some time to construct.

I look forward to seeing the completed project Lauren!

And I know it's not Origami, but try explaining the difference to some of the denizens here....

 

[RadioHowie]

Huh????

What's a "denizens"?????????

 

[Lauren_TK]

"Denizen" is an old Zulu word for "people who use their middle finger too much."

 

[RadioHowie]

All that matters is what reason that middle finger is being used!

Three hours of meticulous work this evening, and . . . !

I've finished cutting the pieces for the cowling. Tomorrow, I can paste it together and complete the first page of 15 pages of instructions.

That is instructions for Block A . . . the bike.

Block B is Rossi, himself.

Block C is the backdrop, and block D is the platform.

This is going to take a while.

I'll post pics as I finish a page.

Three hours of cutting and two of pasting:

That's cool. I do not have that kind of patience. I'll follow along and be amazed.

Thank you all.

I'm now 30 minutes into cutting the next section: the front forks. this is going to be very fiddley.

 

[Lauren_TK]

That's cool. I do not have that kind of patience. I'll follow along and be amazed.

You have the patience to raise children. I do not. Your patience is greater.

However, I will be pleased to amaze you on this journey.

Progress: Cutting the front forks. Still.

Subscribed. This is not something I would try to do, but will enjoy seeing Lauren slay it.

Lauren, any chance of a quick pic of the work in progress?

 

[Lauren_TK]

Other than the one above?

I will take a picture as I complete a page of insturctions. I've complete page one (above), and I'm working on page two.

Right now, a pick would just two a bunch of random shapes cut out of some peices of paper.

 

[TomInPA]

Oops, I clicked on the post and it took me past that update. Thanks...hard to believe that cut and paste has advanced so far.

That's cool. I do not have that kind of patience. I'll follow along and be amazed.

Thanks for posting this.

Cutting. More cutting. Lots of cutting.

The front forks have a crud-ton of tiny pieces.

Photos when I finish cutting, and have glue them together.
