First attempt at Satoshi Kamiya’s samurai helmet beetle. Made on Emma’s request. It took three days of on and off folding to finish this damn bug. i hope you’re happy emma. The paper ripped a few times but I think it turned out pretty ok for a first fold. It’s hard to see from these photos but this damn bug even has tiny eyes.

Designed by Satoshi Kamiya. Folded from 35cm foil paper.
