Tanteidan Magazine Volume 10
|
Of the two volumes I own, I like this one best. It contains diagrams for a "classic" model, Jun Maekawa's devil, as well as some very good diagrams for other models, and some awesome crease patterns. In addition, each magazine has a "photo gallery," which generally consists of about 4 photos of incredible origami. Each volume consists of six magazines, and each magazine has a diagram for a Tomoko Fuse modular, a flower project by Tomoko Tanaka, and diagrams for one or more intermediate to complex models, in addition to several articles in Japanese about a range of origami-related topics. Difficulty: Low Intermediate to Complex Diagram quality: Excellent (computer diagrams only) Model quality: Excellent "Purity": Unless you won't fold modulars or multi piece flower arrangements, most models in the book are "pure" (only the flower arrangements have optional cuts). |

| Kangaroo-Seiji Nishikawa | Intermediate, 71 steps, 2 pieces, mother kangaroo with baby. Not bad, and the faces are very good. |
| Plesiosaur-Seiji Nishikawa | Intermediate, 40 steps. Not bad, but there are far better dinosaurs with the same difficulty. |
| Rabbit-Seiji Nishikawa | Intermediate, 48 steps, 2 pieces. Better than the previous two models, but could still use some work. |
| Ancient Dragon-Satoshi Kamiya (CP) | Ultra-complex. The crease pattern for Satoshi Kamiya's Ancient Dragon. Incredible. I hope to include tips for this on the site at some point. |

| Photo Gallery | Photos: Lotus Flower, Nonagon Box, Dolls |
| Devil-Jun Maekawa | Complex, 139 steps. Excellent model and diagrams. |
| Devil-Jun Maekawa (CP) | Complex. I've heard that this crease pattern produces a different model than the one that is diagrammed, but I can't see the difference. |
