I was surfing a few weeks ago, and came across a page which contained an image of what looked like a newer model Honda (?) street bike. No, I don't have the URL, by I have attached an image of the model. So, does anyone know where I could get my hands on the modelling info for this? I think a reference was given to a Japanese origami journal. Please help if you can. That's it, for now... Thanks in advance, Dave R.

Your photo is from the Origami Tanteidan's homepage (the specific URL for the page where the photo was found is ). I recognised it because it was quite obviously taken at Gallery Origami House. Anyway, it was published in newsletters number 16 and 17 of the Origami Tanteidan, and are also available in Yoshino's book (published posthumously), "Issei Super Complex Origami".

I haven't seem the models myself but read earlier this week that some fold these models with the logo's and other information facing inward - true? If so maybe the photos at hand would be sufficient... How would we make this enquiry to Oru? Steve Woodmansee stevew@empnet.com Date: Thu, 06 Mar 1997 11:10:52 -0400 (AST) From: "P.F.C.

This could be an engraving tool (or, an engraving tool could possibly be used as well); the kind I have looks like a mechanical pencil but ends instead in a metal point. While I haven't used it for origami -- you'd need to be careful not to press too deeply and actually cut the paper -- it works well for scribing on thick foil-covered paper for that tone-on-tone lettering look. --- |> Cherryh's Law: No rule should be followed off a cliff. <| |> http://www.omnigroup.com/People/Friends/arien/ // arien@omnigroup.com <|
