When you want to passive aggressively comment on your coworker's bumbling progress, nothing beats a snarky paper model left strategically in shot.
Gaff's origami models were always one of the coolest understated elements of Blade Runner, and what got me in to this hobby in the first place. I've been making the unicorns for some time, and while I've seen some really really nice cast replicas around the site, I'd love to see any and all efforts anyone has made in paper. Have you given it a shot? Would you like to? What models have you seen that made you think "Oh, Gaff would be all over that"? Show us!
Here's a couple of small efforts;
Traditional Unicorn.
2x 7.5cm x 7.5cm foilpaper.
What's the matter, detective? You chicken?
1x 10cm x 10cm traditional origami paper, inverted.
I'm pretty sure Gaff made this with cigarette rolling paper, it looks that way and he appears to find the paper in an ashtray, but I roll with a really light gauge that wasn't standing up to the abuse. Then I discovered of all the varied and sundry papers I have, plain white is not among them. Chicken looks a bit weird since the pattern on the inside is showing through. Let's call it a grubby chicken, hadn't attempted this model before and it's a little strange, but really cool technically. Next time it might not turn out as Gaff's Off-balance Velociraptor.
Few more Unicorns in varying media;
HK $20, Screen correct foilpaper, US $1, remnants of said $1. The big guy behind is an unfinished from a design by Kamiya Satoshi, inverted tissue foil.
I need to get hold of the Jun Maekawa diagrams so I can take a shot at Gaff's Sheep from 2049, that looks pretty fun too. It never occured to me to try hacking up some matchsticks, maybe I'll go at that now.
My phone camera is atrociously poor, and I have to desaturate the pictures cause that wall is that vile magnolia off yellow people insist on painting houses with, so sorry for both of those.
If you've anything to show of your own, however grand or modest, please give us a look!
Edit: Got hold of the Maekawa diagrams. Gaff's sheep in A4 cartridge paper.
