Thanks, your new one isn't too bad either...

Thanks

Looks great :) I made a somewhat smaller globe a little while ago (you may have already seen it on instructables), so I know about all the steps firsthand. Folding the units must have taken forever, and your ideas with the solid core and map reference were really smart. The only thing I don't understand is why you had the units facing down, but I guess that doesn't matter. Its really cool to see that other people are making this kind of origami, so nice job and good luck with the contest,Jorik

La barra circular está hecha con unas 40 unidades apiladas una encima de la otra. La curva vendrá naturalmente.Para hacer la base solo copia las cinco capas superiores del Polo Sur y hazlas negras. Luego pegue eso a la barra curva.

Yeah ok I can explain thanks for asking. So when assembling the pieces at the beginning, do three latitudes at once (equator and two above), so they don't fall apart. The number of units in each row is listed in Step 5, but I suggest using the pictures or the map at first. Once you have a relatively sturdy first ring (by going around the equator), just build upward using the pictures as reference- then you can go down and finish it off. Building the actual Earth doesn't require glue so I really enjoyed it and didn't feel guilty haha.For the top part of the base you want to stick the units straight on top of each other to form a semicircle, which you can then glue to the ends of a pencil which functions as an axis. For the bottom part you will probably have to use glue, and I think the pic…

For the bottom part you will probably have to use glue, and I think the picture is the best explanation.I did cut out small cardstock circles to place in between the contact points, but that was just meant to prevent friction (like a washer) for a smoother spin.I hope that helped :)

Hey, congrats on the prize! Triangle units are finally getting some recognition haha

Congrats on both the prizes!! :)

Looks awesome, but do you have any pictures for the side view?

Hahaha I never thought of that but good idea I'll look into it.

Nice job the design looks great on the jacket :)

adorable
