Dodo Skeleton

Designed and folded May 2020

Paper: 40cm single tissue

Skeletons are not actually as hard as they look. Because you don't really have to deal with flap widhts (all the bones are just skinny flaps, right?), it's really just a matter of coming up with an efficient packing.

This cp is pretty straightforward, except for the ribs. Although the ribs look like center flaps, I find them easier to fold if you think of them as level shifters, and the rivers between the ribs are just a result of moving the pleats forward.
