zipper

that guy haves A LOT of time on his hands!

Size

How big is that????????

Quite big

It was quite big. I think the model was about a meter long or so. Not sure, it's been a while.

does it work

does is work or is it just for decoration?

It actually works

It actually works, although you probably have to be a bit more careful than with a real zip...

-- Sara

units

is this model or creation made from units?

Modular

Yes, indeed it is. I'm not sure how many modules it requires, but there's more than just a few.

diagrams

Hello Sara are there any diagrams for this model? i think we would all appreciate it please reply

Hmm

I don't think diagrams for this exist (yet).

Terrific zipper !

I really like this !
It's quite interesting, well executed and a little bit " tongue in cheek" !
Always enjoy humor in origami .
I'm going to throw caution to the wind, and venture a guess that this is not " one uncut square " .
Very nice !

Ha! But it's duo colour! How

Ha! But it's duo colour! How did you guess it was modular??? ;)

Giles Towning's Zip

It does, The fastener mechanism goes up and down ant the zip opens and closes. I love Giles's stuff. Diagrams for much of his work (not the Zip that is too new) are available from the British Origami Society in the form of a very reasonably priced publication. See BOS Website.

Wow

That is awsome. I wonder if it actually works..........

Yes, it does!

Of course it works. :)
Opening the zip is a bit harder than closing it, but both work surprisingly well. Ingenious!

Cool

COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
