Two days ago I folded my first attempt with pearlescent paper, and wasn't happy with my paper choice. So today I folded it again, using elephant hide. the picture shows the model slightly back-lit, and I'm much happier with the result. It's hard to fold everything 100% accurately, so I'm quite happy with how it turned out.

Paper: hexagon with a side length of 9.75cm (from a 19.5cm square), elephant hide
Model: hexagon with a side length of 5.5cm

The paper choice wasn't the best, but I was happy that I managed to complete this tessellation without too many problems. I'll have to fold this again with better paper.

Paper: hexagon with a side length of 7.5cm (from a 15cm square), mother-of-pearl paper
Model: hexagon with a side length of 4.7cm

This is the fourth time I attempted the model, and the first time I completed it. All the other times I faulted the paper (and just possibly a bit my folding ability) for the failure. This time I made some double tissue, which is one of the recommended paper choices for the model. And indeed I succeeded in completing the model. It might not be the tidiest fold, but I am still happy that I managed to complete it this time round. Also see a picture of the front view.
