Just received my copy of WOSKII! This is the first time I ordered directly from Japan and the shipment only took 2 weeks and was far cheaper than anywhere else, I am impressed! I received the Komatsu book a while back and haven't folded many of the models with all the recent diagramming, oh yes, his style is gorgeous, I can only hope to create diagrams of that quality one day.

The books, from left to right, top to bottom:

1. Origami Insects I, Nishikawa and Kawahata
2. Origami Insects II, Lang
3. Works of Satoshi Kamiya
4. Origami Fantasy, Kawahata
5. Origami Tanteidan Vol17
6. Origami School of Masters, Ermakov
7. Works of Komatsu Hideo
8. Works of Satoshi Kamiya

Hercules Beetle v2

shuki.kato posted a photo:

A few changes since the last fold including a modification to the wings and elytra. I kept the abdomen almost the same, so much simpler than that of the Kabutomushi... The wings are a bit more orange with photography doing funny things.

The diagrams for all of these models can be found in "Minimalistic Origami" By Paulius Mielinus available for download at OrigamiUSA and Origami Shop! The only model I did not fold yet from the book was the Hercules Beetle which I thought was a bit complex for this photo.
