Question is if I bring such a model >for display at one of Origami exhibitions will it be accepted as true >Origami or get rejected for having cut off extra paper?. Different origami exhibitions have their own criteria, so you need to check with the specific exhibition you're considering. For most origami conventions, pretty much anything goes, but you should say what you did in its label. For example: "Eupatorus gracilicornis" Designed by Dao Cuong Folded by Vishwas Deval >From a square with the corner removed >And to be honest are such models really from square paper? No. It's from a nonregular pentagon (if I understood your description). There's no harm (and much good) in just saying what you did. A lot of my tessellations and geometrics are folded from weird shapes (like, really irregular serrated polygons). I just say what they are. Then people can decide for themselves if they want to stick their personal label of "origami" on them. Robert
