hi david, i dont know much about skillman... except that his jackstone model was a tough one for me to fold in my early years of folding. from the harbin book, getting from the 2D stage to the 3D model was not easy... and it wasnt till the late 90s (i think) when i took the jackstone class with vicky mihara avery that i got to fold it... which was quite a thrill. i hope you are able to get the additional information you need for the page. appreciate your effort in keeping up origami news.
