Thank you so much, Scott, for your kind note. I had as much pleasure creating and diagramming the set as you had folding! > The sunken base itself is a very satisfying fold, and the resulting > models are quite perfect.

That is a great and an accurate observation. Though the Diamond doesn't share the same base as the other three symbols, I had to keep in mind that the result must be of the same proportion and style as the others, starting with the same paper size. > I have long been a fan of Ms. Mukerji's modular models, so > it's an exciting development to see her apply her unique style to > single-sheet models. Thank you! I am having so much fun with single sheet models that I have not touched modulars in a while - about 6 months to be precise! And I have to admit - Montroll's Galaxy book did it... > If you haven't tried OUSA's download service yet, this is a > great model to start with! You can find it here: > http://origamiusa.org/catalog/products/playing-card-symbols-pdf OUSA's downloads is a great service and for me, the fastest way to get diagrams out to people. Books take a while to compile and when people show a lot of interest in a model I use OUSA downloads as a quick outlet. Regards, Meenakshi
