Armadillo

 

Like the Chubby Ghost, this model was designed as part of a challenge. My main fixation was with achieving integrated pleats for the armadillo’s bands. While I think I achieved that nicely, there’s no sequential way to fold the model, (the only method is to precrease everything and then collapse) so there won’t ever be a video tutorial. To get the legs of the model, Elias stretch the long flaps at the corners (this can be done through a series of squashes,) then fold behind the remaining triangle of loose paper. You’ll also want to spread squash each of the pleats on the back symmetrically and sink one half. This procedure will double the number of bands. Have fun folding!
