Origami: Miss Martian's Bioship

Written by Richard Kreutz-Landry

M'gaan's bioship is one of the cooler pieces of (bio)tech in the series. Luckily, it's also one of the more straightforward things to model using origami.

The overall shape is a small, central area connecting two large wings, which extend outward and forward to about twice the length of the center. If you squint at it, you can sort of picture a butterfly, where the points on the front of the ship are like the lower parts of the butterfly's wings. After that, it's all a matter of shaping.

So, without further ado here's my origami bioship and the diagrams in case you want to fold one yourself:
