Fan Creation: Robotech/Macross Origami

It seems that some Macross fan from Japan has figured out how to make a VF-1 Veritech out of paper. Yes, Origami! It's pretty impressive and there are instructions on how to do it yourself. Though, I think it would be kinda difficult. Oh, did I say it was transformable?

Wow!, this is very impressive, is it for real?, has anyone done it with the instructions?

As a creation of a Macross fan in Japan with no mention of Robotech anywhere in the page, should it really be called "Robotech" or "Veritech"?

I felt Robotech fans would enjoy seeing the creation and trying it out for themselves. I used Robotech terms because this is a Robotech site and the origami still represents the same VF-1 thats seen in both shows.

We're trying to promote fandom here, not cause civil wars.

We can promote fandom and still use the right term. :) It's like a Transformers site looking at this Japanese Macross page and saying incorrectly, "It's Jetfire," or a Battletech site saying incorrectly, "It's a Wasp LAM."

It's similar to when Robotech fans rightly pointed out that one game review site shouldn't call the mecha in Robotech:Battlecry "Jetfires." Using the right terms helps prevent contentions, not cause them.

uhmmm... Dude, if you wanna get anal about being a fan of something, go to a PS3 or XBOX 360 site. Youll get all the arguments YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!!! Or better yet, GET A LAID AND GET A LIFE!!! Seriously, you wont get anywhere reading hentai manga and fondling the boobs on your Evangalion statuettes!

Lol, best defense is a good offence right?

Any of those instructions in English?

Yeah, I keep trying those instructions, but I keep getting struck on the part after step 14. If there were any translated instructions, I would be very happy.
