Added a new page for my Photo Album: Origami Photos. Showcased currently is the John Montroll Stegosaurus, a truly cool looking model.

Very cool. I think I asked you this question before....but do you use an origami book for instructions? I'm interested in learning how to make origami of this complexity. I've got "kids" books on origami which teaches the basic stuff.

I've got a whole mess of books, from when I started this hobby about 20 years ago through a month or two ago. After a while, it gets harder to find any models you've not attempted. The beginners books by Robert Harbin are a good starting point, and a Montroll book (Easy Origami) with beginner's models is good too. Montroll's is a much newer book, with clear computer-generated diagrams.

Montroll and Lang have some amazing books, with themes such as "Prehistoric Origami" and "Origami Sea Life." I'm really happy with the dinosaur models in the "Prehistoric" book, personally.
