Semi-Sonobe Variants

A family of modular units which resemble Sonobe units in many ways, but are folded from half a square rather than from a complete square.

Semi-Sonobe Variant M

Semi-Sonobe Variant M

A variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit, with 3D decorations in the vertices of finished models.

Semi-Sonobe Variant J

Semi-Sonobe Variant J

A variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit that produces windmill-like decorations in the vertices of finished models.

Cube (Semi-Sonobe Variant H)

Cube (Semi-Sonobe Variant H)

A cube from Semi-Sonobe Variant H units. This variant has no color change, in contrast to most others, but produces spectacular “horns” on the vertices of th...

Semi-Sonobe Variant H

Semi-Sonobe Variant H

A variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit that produces spiky decorations in the vertices of finished models. No color change, in contrast to most other var...

Cube (Semi-Sonobe Variant G)

Cube (Semi-Sonobe Variant G)

A cube from Semi-Sonobe Variant G units. Note that this variant has no color change, in contrast to most others.

Semi-Sonobe Variant G

Semi-Sonobe Variant G

Another variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit. In contrast to most other variants, this one does not have a color change.

Semi-Sonobe Variant C

Semi-Sonobe Variant C

A variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit that results in color-change vertices in the finished model.

Semi-Sonobe Variant B

Semi-Sonobe Variant B

A variant of the original Semi-Sonobe unit which produces a nice pattern of color changes that look like little cubes in the vertices of folded models.

Semi-Sonobe Variant A

Semi-Sonobe Variant A

This unit started a series of many designs that I call Semi-Sonobe. They resemble Sonobe units in many ways, but are folded from half a square rather than fr...

Icosahedron (Semi-Sonobe Variant B)

Icosahedron (Semi-Sonobe Variant B)

This model is folded in blue and yellow, the national colors of Ukraine. Three years into a terrible invasion by Russia, the people of Ukraine continue to re...
