Are there any diagrams for Lewis Simon's model.


Yes and no. There are diagrams for the module and assembly of 5 units into a 
cup in Beginner's Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra: The Platonic
Solids.  12 cups of ofe units each are connected with a connector module to 
make a dimpled dodecahedron.  Lewis Simon connected 8 modules
To make an octagonal coaster.   The dimpled dodecahedron takes 60 paper cup 
modules for twelve five sided conical cups, and 30simple connector
Modules for connecting edges of cups.

Re: VA and the perfect paper cup module

I know two ways of folding it. After folding the square corner to corner, fold 
the short edge of the top layer down to the long folded edge of the
Triangle and unfold. The point where the crease meets the other short edge of 
the triangle is the landmark to bring the opposite point to, in
Making the beginning of the cup. (The midpoint of the short edge is a less 
accurate estimate).

Then fold one layer of the right angle of the triangle into the pocket of the 
flap just folded. That completes one unit.
Next take the remaining layer with the right angle and slip it under the flap 
of a second unit. The narrow point of the
Second unit will fold around the first unit.
