Here’s a tough one. It’s a wonderful modular origami by Thomas Hull, five tetrahedra inside each other. Modular origami takes more time to make than normal origami, but it looks much better. This modular is made of 30 simple pieces, making them takes about an hour and assembling it is pure hell.
This model takes 10 square papers that will have to be cut in three to have 3:1 ratio.
Here’s link to a page with diagrams right from the authors website, the video isn’t always clear on what to do.
The video is courtesy of Mark Roberts.
Here are some pictures to show how to assemble all the tetrahaedra:
