Thanks for the excellent tutorial. Previously I knew the model in plain paper but not this variation. And I also thought it was a traditional because the book where I've learned it from kind of says so, but I recently came across the information that this model is by Hachiro Kamata, please check here: David Mitchell's Origami Heaven - Modular Origami - The All Time Modular Top 10 http://www.origamiheaven.com/ I wonder why the book (by Rick Beech) doesn't say anything about this author, I actually never heard of Hachiro Kamata before.

I knew this star as a one coloured model and always wondered how to get the colour of the backside of the paper in front. Thanks to your tut I know now :o) bye Tine Hi Ancella,

Thanks for your comment and subscription! The 12 module kusudama will definitely be easier than this 30 module design. However, assembly for most modular designs are the same - tricky and requires a lot of patience...and maybe sometimes glue, too! :D You can definitely try the 12 module design as a first step to folding this 30 module design. When assembling, you need to pay attention as to where to insert the next module after you have put together your '4 around base'. To start, you can place your '4 around base' as how you see it in the instructional video you are referring to. Then see where and what angle the 5th module is inserted. You can use glue to hold the modules together. This is a 'sin', I know... but it really helps in assembling those stubborn modules! ;) I hope this helps! Do let me know how yours turned out in the end :) Hi Helen!
