Video: Origami car/VW bug

Origami car

An origami car that looks like the VW bug. It’s a wonderful, non-polluting, transporting device, but I guess it lacks a bit on safety points. I only had one color paper, but using 2 color paper would make the wheels, the front lights and the rear number plate white. It’s amazing how detailed it actually is for it’s size. By Charles Esseltine.

Diagrams here and the video after the break.

    @Castword: umm, I’m not sure I understand, remember that I don’t do diagrams, I search for them… the last time I did one I got an email from the author that asked me to remove it.

    Really? Didn’t think the designer had any problems with it:/ And I didn’t mean that you make the diagrams, just that you read them. I have trouble reading some diagrams, but I’m getting better I think, so it’s really great that you make videos of the models people are struggling to understand:)

    wow! This one is probably one of the hardest models to me. finished it first try but I should of used bigger paper paper for the first time since this small one is a little sloppy. Im gonna make another one! ;)
