After trying out some simple basic polyhedra I started with intersecting planes. I came across this set of modules in the book Ornamental Origami: Exploring 3D Geometric Designs. In the book instructions are given starting from 6 intersecting planes. I was not very clear when I went through the folding diagrams. To start with I took the very simple 3 intersecting planes/XYZ coordinate planes.

No of units: 6 units.
Paper size used : 5" x 5"
Difficulty: easy model.
Paper used: normal color printer paper
Time: 1.5 to 2 hours
Easy model. Easy to make. As mentioned in the above David Petty link, I felt it is easy to assemble four units, had to squeeze in the last two for the third coordinate tearing the paper a bit here and there. Good for beginners though.
I finally changed my blog template, making it easier to navigate between posts and to browse blog.
I like this new template :)
