    It should probably be noted somewhere that this is more "papercraft" than "origami", and the thing you download is just the net of the solid, not instructions to make what's in the picture.

    Also saddened by the lack of Catalan solids

      Some of the platonics have folding instructions not just the papercraft net but yeah I wish some of the more interesting ones had actual instructions for the thing being shown too.

        Ah, I didn't see those

          You didn't scroll past the first section before commenting?

            I looked at the page, and decided I wanted to see how to origami some of the archimedian solids, which are lower down the page. I don't find platonic solids as interesting so I didn't click on them. I saw they existed but you can't see that they have folding instructions unless you click on them
