2. Sonobe Cube, by Mitsunobu Sonobe.
3. Cube with Windows, by Bennett Arnstein, simplified from Lewis Simon’s Decoration Box.
4. Equilateral Triangle Edge Module, by Lewis Simon and Bennett Arnstein, modified by me to make a square pyramid.
5. Same as #4, making a tetrahedron.
6. Simple Chain-of-4-Equilateral-Triangles From a Square, by Lewis Simon.

I mentioned that I messed up my photo organization, so I was trying to figure out what I hadn’t posted already.  I think I’ve posted a few of these, but let’s just knock them all out from my list.  These are the very first models I folded when I started doing modular origami in 2012.

Most of these are from Beginner’s Book of Modular Origami Polyhedra: The Platonic Solids by Rona Gurkewitz and Bennett Arnstein, and I do recommend that for beginners.  The Dimpled Model with Curls is from Meenakshi Mukerji’s Exquisite Modular Origami.

A few comments on style.  At the time, I mostly used patterned washi paper.  I had a stack of it!  Nowadays I would be much more deliberate about using washi, because I don’t think it’s appropriate for most models.  But, it’s best for simple models, so I wasn’t really wrong here!

At the time, I didn’t spend much time trying to get good photos.  The lighting isn’t natural, and photos would include stray objects.  (It’s actually worse than it appears, since I cropped out the stack of origami paper on the left, as well as a plastic bag visible below the shelf.)  This wasn’t entirely unintentional; I wanted external objects to give a sense of scale, and ground it as a casual activity I was doing for fun.  I also took lots of photos of process.

To be quite honest, I still don’t spend much time on photos, I just make sure I get natural light and choose some scrap paper for the background, and call it a day.

Even early on, I was interested in original origami design.  The very next thing I made was this:

Untitled failed design by me. It’s supposed to be the 2nd brillouin zone of the bcc structure, or you could just call it the first stellation of the rhombic dodecahedron.

I didn’t know what I was doing, so I designed a model that could never have worked, as it was missing any mechanism to hold it together.  It’s held together with tape.  But we learn through failures, so it was worth a try.
