Behold my aardvark aarmy!
The rainbow colors are to show that I value diversity, even while I take over the world. Which I will do as soon as I finish folding the Pink Flap Field Brigade. And maybe a reserve Digger Division.
(This is a fun and addictive model to fold. I've several scattered about the building at work, too. As scouts, of course.)
(BTW, going by a sample size of one, cheap Japanese origami paper is different from cheap American origami paper. Though perhaps I should say rather cheap domestic and cheap for-export paper, as a fair bulk of 'gami goods in American craft-stores is made in Japan. Or better terminology yet, cheap packaged-in-Japanese versus cheap packaged-in-English. In any case, the latter, as it cheapens keeps more or less the same texture but becomes stiffer: the creases are more springy. This packet of the former (100 sheets of 15x15 cm for under $4, which is WAY less expensive than you can find the latter) folds just as crisply but feels like it's an incremental step towards newsprint. It wicks up humidity too, so that on muggy days you're halfway to wetfolding.)
