Somewhere New

I had thought about how easy it would be to fold the Czech flag. The red and white parts would have diagonal folds on one end where the blue would slide in to make a triangle. I finally decided to try it, and halfway through folding I decided that I wanted more of a challenge. I decided to try making the flag so that if the blue section was on the left, the white would be on top and the red would be on bottom. This turned out to be a lot harder than I expected from a 8:8 grid. However, after several tries, I ended up with this: Flag of Czech Republic, Ryan MacDonell Flag of Czech Republic, Ryan MacDonell The second picture is actually the opposite side of the model from the first. I decided not to try making a CP, partly because it would be very hard to fold from because the layers need to be arranged a certain way. The model also has some really nice locks. Not only is the red and white section hard to get apart on its own, but when you add the blue part it can be locked in with diagonal folds on the inside.

Je viens de finir ma cinquième année de français. Je pense que tu voudrais dire "I've already been to the Czech Republic" :)
Et oui, c'était très beau là!
