Anyone Have Mdf Cabinet Doors

A flying Condor (my first design)


Hello,

I decided to give me (and them) a little rest while preparing the next entry in my research paper and folded (which is almost ready) to share with you the development experience of my first design of an origami figure. In the workshop on Purranque Roman Diaz gave in February I decided that my first figure out a condor, as it is a magnificent and beautiful bird, and do not exist or have not found this bird models out there circulating.

True to the recommendation of the workshop, listed the goals he wanted to get a list of priorities:

1. it was a condor in flight, with wings full width.
2. to have a color change that would allow a white neck, characteristic of this bird.
3. have their legs folded in a position to plan (I love birds with their feet as they give the impression that the model is complete).
4. have their long feathers on the tips of the wings, like fingers, also characteristic of this animal.
5. where possible, have an elegant and quiet, not too "scavenger".
   

the first two conditions were Intransa, so I advocate to them. The first direct influence on the choice of the base, if he wanted to have long wings should preferably use the main diagonal of the square and use the other two ends to the head and tail, soon gave to a base that responded very well to that between the figures that have folded in this way, the base of Pegasus Anibal Voyer:



if joined end AB and AC with double valley not only got a couple of very long wings and enough paper to shape the head and possible details, but also, as it bends slightly inclined, the closing figure on the side of its tail the wings would print some 3D curve downward.

But then came the mess of the head and the famous color change, as I had to shorten the tip enough to the center, as the condor's head is very small compared with their wings, I had no choice but to hide paper at the leading edge of them, which gave however a stronger shaft to hold the wings spread and the model in place, and to hide three bands was with a small triangle of paper to the center of the model

However, fold forward and close the tip in the central axis could not achieve a change of color that I left his white collar without him was too wide spread to the points of the triangle, would not give a color head or it will end at the tip of the paper as being a complete single layer in a natural point allow me to develop the finer details as the peak or crest.

after many weeks, frustrations and models made, I at last with a trick that would allow me





then came the issue of the wings, long feathers like fingers on the ends of them were a problem, box pleating fingers does not satisfy me, because although they were separated, left wings were full of bands multiple layers along, so I tried saw the Kingfisher Roman Diaz, who showed me that the simplest solution is sometimes the best, with only feathers drawn on the wing, resulting
model


that's pretty good. But I decided, after seeing the feathers of the eagle by Nguyen Hung Cuong, experiment with overlapping layers, which is what turned.

finally the tail. I tried many glues and the solution so far my favorite was something like box-pleating or accordion but gives a certain elegance and simulates the tail feathers of the wing, while hidden inside the model, but I have not fully decided .

This condor still needs more time and work, I still have some details like the crest (which I'll try making the head a little bigger and plunging his hand up a little), but it certainly has made me learn a lot. What better bow down on paper and finish the details and put a picture soon, I hope you like it and would love know what you think.

Many greetings.
