Long story short, the new concept is a go.  A kit book aimed at low to intermediate folders rather than intermediate to advanced.  We\u2019re also looking at adding custom paper for the models.  I figure this is cool as long as the models work on their own and the paper is just an enhancement, as with John Montroll\u2019s new DC Comics superheroes book.<\/p>\n<p>So I\u2019ve been continuing to make new designs.  I\u2019ve perfected two more in the last two days.   One I\u2019m calling the Space Pod.  It\u2019s based on the frog base and is only twelve steps or so.  The other is the Space Probe.  It\u2019s a simplification of my Radio Satellite, down from 60 or more steps to maybe 20 or 25.  It\u2019s funny cuz it follows the same general pattern, with solar panels and a radar dish and a boom antenna, but with an 8&#215;8 grid instead of 16&#215;16 so the proportions are different, and instead of developing the radar dish from the center, which requires pulling out alot of layers, I use a corner, which in the old version I didn\u2019t know what to do with anyway.  This brings me up to ten models, with six more to go from a list of 10 or so ideas I have right now.  Hopefully another tomorrow!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/ouuaaii\/ouuaaiii01_1000.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/zingman.com\/origami\/oriPics\/ouuaaii\/ouuaaiii01_400.jpg\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On same day as the Google interview I had a meeting with my publisher about the new origami book.
