Aztec Twist Tessellation

This is a complicated model designed by Eric Gjerde, and hthe diagrams are found in his book “Origami Tessellations.
This tessellation is pretty complicated, since…
1. There are A LOT of offset creases to be folded.2. There is a part where you have to fold a twist, and then fold a triangle below that twist.
3. There are some twists “in the wrong direction” that you have to correct in the end, specifically the hexagon twist in the middle and the arms of each triangle twist.
But, if you were able to do it, you will be rewarded with a superb and beautiful model reminiscent of the designs commonly made by the Aztec Tribes.

For the difficulty rating, I will give it a 7.5.
This is not a tessellation for the beginners or the lazy people. If you are one of them (oh my god I'm talking about beginners please don't be offended) , just start with the Five-and-Four Tessellation.
