Hubert de Lartigue's Millennium Falcon Origami
Hubert de Lartigue takes Parisian subway tickets and turns them into Star Wars ships–the Millennium Falcon, X-wing fighters, TIE fighters, and imperial shuttles have all come under the loving touch of his x-acto knife. At de Lartigue’s website, you can find tutorials for the X-wing and the Millennium Falcon. (The latter a mere 9 pages long!)
While the Paris locale adds a touch of class to de Lartigue’s creations, there are many, many cool Star Wars origami projects out there:
- A dorm room dogfight, with models hanging from the ceiling
- Flickr user morpheology has folded dollar bills into a whole series of Star Wars models (check out the bantha, AT-AT, and Slave I), plus a set of craft from various scifi movies.
- The master of the “folded dollar bills” genre, though, is Won Park. No doubt.
- Chris Alexander offers an array of Star Wars origami designs
- GeekDad’s own Tom Angleberger has a new book, The Strange Case of Origami Yoda, which does in fact feature a paper model of the Jedi master. View Tom’s Flickr feed; his instructions for how to make your own Yoda; or this handy video at StarWars.com of Tom folding one.
