The Space Cat - a.k.a. El Gato Del Cosmos - a pleasing cat variation sculpted in a midcenutry atomic space age style. Inspired by my jazz group Spacecats.

Invented and refine over a week in late October bookended by the CoCon origami convention in Chicago and the OrigaMIT convention in Boston, my goal was to create a relatively simple spider eight-legged spider that could be folded in less than an hour. I also thought thick legs would be kinda creepy and scary. It turned out to be pretty complex for an intermediate-aspiring model, but still far less complex than many insects and arachnids out there. The base is more or less a conglomeration of nine waterbombs in a 3x3 grid..
