Book

An Origami Army of the Past

In some very old German books I found the models of the historic rider and horse. More than one variation has been documented. While folding the helmets and weapons for a knight, I was inspired to create an origami cavalry. 

Everything you'll find in the book consists of multi-piece works:

  • Hussars, 
  • Ulans, 
  • Dragoons, 
  • Chevauxlegers, 
  • Military Band,
  • and the General Staff. 

I folded a new head for rider and horse. Furthermore, I created a rider's arm, some jackets, helmets, weapons and flags. This equipment is truly folded, not cut as 200 years before.

You don't need any special skills to fold these models.
