Thanx Unknownfolder. Ha ha, that is too funny. Yes, it looks quite like a naughty little monkey giving the finger! Now I'm gonna laugh everytime I see it, maybe I'll have to change it to fit the rules of the forum!!

Ja, it's a modification of the Chimpanzee, same face, but much more simplistic body so that the head looks bigger proportionally.

Right click the photo, select copy image location and paste here. Erase the ?v=0 at the end of the code, then just highlight it and click 'Img'.

Thanks Demon. Thanks to the interest of Petr, I went back and redesigned my Pig design, which was an accident on an old dollar. I was surprised it worked out so well.

Although I hope to soon fold a new version based off this design(which I made quite some time ago) I guess this will do for now....

Good to see you on the forum, BluePaper
Very nice color changes on the Road Runner, Kafar, and nice color changes.

Guinea pig

I don't know if it is an official rule or not, but it is generally not allowed to submit a previously designed model for the monthly challenges. Sorry to burst your bubble

And welcome to the forum

Yeah, I assumed that was one of the rules, although it wasn't stated anywhere, I don't really mind though. But as I had said, I do plan to fold a new variation to this design soon(hopefully), so I'm curious as to whether new variations on previous designs are allowed.

Jonnycakes · Post by **Jonnycakes** » August 20th, 2008, 5:32 pm

New variations should be fine.

My new variation of my guinea pig design, designed as a tribute to my guinea pig, Panda, who is sadly no longer with us.....

Here is a picture of the real Panda...

Excellent, Chad.
I quite liked the toes on the previous one, can you incorporate them into this design?
Either way, great work. The colour-changes are perfect!
Sorry to hear about Panda!

BluePaper · Post by **BluePaper** » August 27th, 2008, 11:59 pm

Toes wouldn't be hard to add, but they would be annoying to fold. To explain a little better, the toes are acheived through the use of an L shaped strip graft that meets at the rear end of the model, for the color changes I used an L shaped strip graft as well, but this strip graft meets at the nose as opposed to the rear. Since the two strip grafts are of different sizes, I chose against having toes. It is possible for me to give it toes, but it would give the front feet an unnecessary amount of thickness.
