Feel free to post your collections, your works in progress, or your star hordes! You can find lots of inspiration in the old thread (http://boards.4chan.org/po/thread/515222) Remember /PO/ is a slow board so please don't bump the thread. I created the last thread over two years ago. Here's to two more.

I can't make the final step (pushing the sides in). Paper just doesn't bend that way and I end up crushing the whole thing or it refuses to bend at all.

fold the paper

squash that point where the black arrow is pointing down until it's flat like an octagon. then look at the origami from the side and follow those tiny mountain and valley folds
>>
>>622823
very helpful

It's an open squash fold. Open up the point and shape the paper to look like 91(all the creases are there, you just need to make them mountain folds), Then stretch the paper a little down to flatten it, used the creases in 93. It's a pretty standard move but difficult because of all the layers.

There's plenty if you know where to look. Especially on DriveThruRPG, where terrain is often free or "pay what you want".
This one is one of my favorites.

These are a bunch of David Graham models, some are free, some are simply cheap. They sometimes come with alternate roofs, like the thatched cottage also coming with a red tiled roof file. And there's often those boxes as filler, which I appreciate.

I hate these things, but try closing the head on the lateral, then place the spiky flaps inside the head so they dont get stuck. Put glue on the bottom of the top of the head and with a pencil attach the rectangle flaps, if the spiky flags poke trhu corners you can push them in with a needle set them in place and from the inside with that very same needle glue it. The bottom of the head is similar, i got tired of fucking this up and just made a pear teto you should do that instead.

Is Star Trek origami a good place to start? Looks fun and there are books on it

https://www.giladorigami.com/origami-star-trek
>>
As a beginner, any topic you like is good as long as there are good ressources.
Before purchasing books, you'd better look for free diagrams and videos (youtube has a lot of these) to begin with.
For example,
https://origami-resource-center.com/star-trek-origami
give links to many diagrams.

I think Gen Hagiwara's Spirit of Origami and Jun Maekawa's Genuine Origami are good starting points.

Recently got back into Quake with the release of Quake II remastered, and came across some photos of this model online-I thought I used to have a copy of it, but can't find it-I can only find the similar Ninjatoes version.

Does anyone have a copy of this model they could scan and preserve for the future? It is pretty old; from 1997! I've been searching for it for awhile with no luck.

This place still has and sells them, at least as of 3 months ago. Pretty cheap. Someone should buy one and upload it.

Some time ago, several users contributed various NOA magazines to a publicly shared folder. This is a reminder that everyone can access and contribute to this folder to keep it up to date and ensure all magazines are accessible to everyone.

Currently, we have most of the magazines, except for the latest issues and newsletters. Please refer to the index file to see the list of currently shared magazines.

You can access the shared drive using this link:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YYwrQLPUqv-aCvyNbRdNKLSHe7Zb-dXO?usp=sharing

Please note that the folder has read-only permissions because many items were accidentally deleted several months ago. If you have any missing magazines to contribute, please upload them to this post, and I will update the shared folder accordingly.

Thank you all for your contributions!

Geometric shapes or mathematical objects are fun to assemble but then the instructions is like make 30 pieces for each face or sm.

Fuck it, my curiosity has won in the end after seeing this board be here for years.

How can I start off doing origami as a beginner with no previous experience aside from making paper airplanes? (If that counts)

Try Jo Nakashima's channel, he has a variety of easy to insane folds. Also he has the steps diagramed on the screen while he's folding so you can get a feel for what the symbols mean.

easiest way is to just get any paper you have on hand and cut it into a square (look up how) then follow a tutorial on youtube.
