One Year On

One year ago today, I posted this article about what the future may have held for my origami designs - 12 months on, it's time for a short retrospective to look back and see what I have actually accomplished during this time...

As of today, where I'm putting the finishing touches to my new Snowspeeder design, I have created 10 new models featuring designs from both the original trilogy and the prequels

• Vulture Droid - Sept '12
• Slave I - Sept '12
• Gungan Sub - Sept '12
• Jedi Starfighter - Dec '12
• Cloud City - Dec '12

• Droideka - Jan '13
• Trade Federation Battleship - June '13
• Y-Wing - July '13
• Republic Gunship - Sept '13
• Snowspeeder - Sept '13

That's 4 new designs from the original trilogy, and 6 more from the prequels, designed in 4 separate creative bursts separated by several months of down time. Looking now at the * ratings I assigned last year, I've had a 70% hit rate knocking off high priority items, getting that much closer to having the level of content needed to attract the interest of the Lucasfilm licensing department

• 3 models - ****
• 4 models - ***
• 2 models - *
• 1 model - No stars

So what does the To-Do list look like now?

Still plenty to be getting on with! Even though I'll probably only focus on the 6 theatrical movies, it's good to know I'm not going to be short of source material for a while. With the upcoming "Rebels" TV series and Episode VII on the way, it's unlikely I'll ever wanting for inspiration -  so sit back, and see what the next 12 months bring!
