My origami tanks



Hello everybody! Recently I stumbled upon a video on YouTube on how to make these really cool tanks that are about 2 inches wide. I think that my tanks are really cool.

This is my favorite
We put our initials on every tank.


You can find the video I used by searching in YouTube how to fold an origami paper tank. If you still can't find it you can narrow the search by typing in the authors username which is foldsomething. He also makes a lot of different origami things too. You can also find his videos at foldsomething.com. Actually dragon design 4 I got from him!

After I made my first tank I played around with it for a little while and then I taught my sister Katie how to make them as well. She enjoys it as much as I do. Then Katie and I colored them and added accessories to make them unique. Once we started fighting with them I figured out a real game with rules for these tanks!

The game goes like this you place you're tank (or tanks) somewhere on the area where the game shall be. If you have more than 3 tanks you can only move up to 3 per turn. First to make the stats of each tank you write on the bottom attack, speed, range, and health. You can then distribute points to each item but the limit of points of all is 25. You're speed determines how many inches you can move add 10 to movement to find the inches. After you've moved you decide to attack. You're range is then multiplied by 4 and cut it out with a piece of string. If a tank is within range point the tank gun at the tank and use the string to determine if you hit or missed. You're attack is minus 2 so 8 would be 6 that number is then subtracted from the tanks health. The player with the most tanks at the end wins!

I love to make and pit my tanks against my brother and sister as my army grows and grows. If you want to play you're self comment and I will include additional rules in my next blog.

Here is a dragon. It is design 2 only I cut the original square paper into fourths. It made a dragon that is only a fourth of the original ones.

This is the bigger one.



This is the smaller one.

  1. How do you ensure that the stats of the different tanks are balanced? Do you have a formula? What kind of play-testing has been done?
