This amazing modular origami is brought to us by Jorge Lucero. It’s an intermediate model if you have good spatial view, but it can get very tricky with the last square. Just when I thought I had finished it I had to open some of the connections which weren’t made right, on the video you can see that the 5th square wasn’t tucked in right.
With this model you have to cut the paper exactly to 5:11 ratio for the modules. I cut 5cm by 11cm rectangles and got 9 out of an A4 paper, you need a total of 24, that’s why there are only 3 colors on my model. I used a thicker paper than normal printing paper, but that’s not necessarily better, I’m doing one in my classes with normal paper and it’s easier to fold.
When assembling the modules don’t tuck one of them all the way in, the other module won’t be able to lock to the first, instead push little by little on each one (see the video).

Here’s the one made with the normal paper:
