Star Wars Origami

I am indebted to everyone out there with an origami webpage, since I have downloaded copious amounts of diagrams of clever and amazing origami. I realized that I was now obligated to share my own creations with the world (ruining my plans of selling them all to LucasArts for a gazillion dollars. Each.).

I'm trying to make a comprehensive list of Star Wars designs available on-line, as well as other science fiction/spaceship designs out there. Let me know what I'm missing....

• Star Wars Origami links
• Other science fiction origami links
• Basic origami links
• Other Star Wars links

Other people's designs:
Y = diagrams available. CP = crease patterns. N = not available.
	models	link site	owner/creator
Y	Jedi Master Yoda	Asociación Española de Papiroflexia	KAWAHATA Fumiaki
	in diagramas - internacionales page 3. There's a simpler Yoda in nacionales page 11. Older diagrams get pushed back as new ones added, so they may have been bumped to the next pages.
Y	several	AEP	Francisco Ramón Navarro Sánchez
	detailed ships on the AEP site: AT-AT, X-wing, TIE, TIE Interceptor, Star Destroyer, Snow speeder. Only the AT-ST has diagrams
Y	several	Star Wars Origami	Chris Alexander
	Over 35 different Star Wars models. Diagrams for Bantha, Vader's TIE, Boba Fett, and the Millennium Falcon. No diagrams for the rest, but there are vague hints of a book. What? When? where? "I cannot teach him. The boy has no patience."
N	several	Larigami	Lar deSouza
	Darth Vader, stormtrooper, and Jar-Jar masks. Queen Amidala doll plus a gallery of various Sci-Fi models by others
Y	several	ORiGAMi	Marc Gutman

CP	several	Eileen's Origami Page	Eileen Tan
	Darth Vader, Star Wars ships, Star Trek ships, a bunch of sci-fi aliens, Dune sand worms, oh, and an evil duck. An extensive site worth browsing. Check out her diagrams and crease patterns for a Balrog, Ornithopter, Cthulhu, Doc Ock, etc.
Y	Shuttle	ORIGAMI-Papierowe Fantazje	Rafal Sabat
	Click on Diagramy: Imperial Shuttle, plus an AT-AT without diagrams. There's a facehugger hidden in the 'galeria'. A very nice site , all in Polish.
Y	X-Wing	http://www.origami.as	Wayne Ko
	Wayne's site appears to be down. Pity. You can get diagrams for his 'Chi-Wing' at Joseph Wu's site. Go to Instructions>Joseph Wu's Origami Diagrams. To see some of Wayne's pictures, use this WaybackMachine archive.
Y	several	50 ways to Make Your HOME "FOREST"	Kenji Ishii

	Little tricky, 3-D Mask. look in Diagrams>Characters He also has some cute Sesame Street and Muppets designs
N	X-Wing	Text X-Wing	Mark Leeper
	Mark sent me his written description (text only; no pictures) of the frog base X-Wing. It's a cleaner version than mine, from which I had swiped the wings. This derivation from the frog base seems to be a common one; Joseph Wu says he came up with it "way back in 1981."
N	X-wing	world.std.com/~anselmo/origami/index.html	Andrew Anselmo
	This is another variation of the frog-based X-wing. His has engines.

Y	several	Star Warigami	Martin Hunt
	X-wing diagrams only. also AT-AT, B-Wing, R2-D2, M. Falcon, TIEs, Imperial shuttle, Star Destroyer, Speeder Bike. These are all very complex, detailed models. I love the speeder bike.

Y	X-wing	http://www.cfsl.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22455	Hubert de Lartigue
	Well, it's some text diagrams with pictures. And it's actually Kirigami made from two Metro tickets. And it's French, so there's one obligatory random shot of nudity. (Don't look, kids or you'll go blind!) There's also a TIE Fighter and the Millennium Falcon.

N	USS Enterprise	TT's Origami	Tomohiro TACHI
	It's the last model in his gallery. He does have a crease pattern for a warp-speed crane. You'll see what I mean.
