0138 オムナイト 2号

2000年の本に掲載した貝殻のかたちは不安定で、再現性に疑問がありましたので、今回、2026年3月、安定したかたちのものをつくりました。
ところが、これが、サイズ感が難しくて、何度つくってもなかなかいいバランスにならなくて、ほんと苦労しました。
上下の長さがもうちょと短くてもよかったと、まだ迷いが消えません。

攻略本にあるオムナイトの絵には、触腕が10本描かれています。
10本は、1998年制作の初号で実現していますが、触腕の後ろに紙の裏の白い部分が見えていました。
それで、それらを折り込み、10本、すっきりと折りだしました。

さてさて。
この2号改訂版はほぼ平面なので、ファイルに挟んで持ち歩いたり、本のカバーのあいだに入れたり、カードにして封筒で送ったり、日常の中でいろいろ楽しむことができます。

オムナイト白部分の有無

左は初号で、触腕の下に紙の白い部分が見えています。
本に掲載するとき、折り図が煩雑になりすぎて収録できないと思い、そのままにしました。

今回、その処理の折り図を制作して、紙の白い部分が見えないようにつくりました。
