Description
Designed by guspath
Folded by me from 12" Gold origami foil

I apologize for the messiness. Origami foil just loves to turn itself into a crinkly mess (and despite using a 12" square, it was probably still too small) =/.

So some backstory: I saw gustpath's Gryphon [link] a few years ago and was struck by how well the model was folded with its wonderfully done color-changed gold trim. Of course, I immediately attempted to recreate the model via his [hard to read] progressive photos and crease pattern. This was probably when I was barely familiar with reading crease patterns. I failed, and filed it away for future consideration. I attempted this model several more times over the course of the past two years, all without success. Much more recently however, I decided to give this project one more try, considering I had grown much since designing my own models. As you can see, I've managed turn out a successful model, albeit not nearly as nice as guspath's original model. Certainly not my neatest work, but I'll take this small victory.
