Maybe if I try and work out some new material.

wow, pressure isn't probably the best advisor.

No, I wasn't insinuating anything. I just think I don't have enough good stuff to merit a book. Plus, the way I design, it could be months before I come up with some worth while that's new. So, maybe I'll be able to publish something, if I happen to come up with some more good designs.

So, I folded this wild boar.

I like this model more and more. The folding way is not easy, but very right. Maybe I will hate this model after several weeks...

very nice, Ondrej

I would like to more specify one step:

13. fold two flaps from the right to the left.

The central tip of the petal fold is leaved up or folded down in this step?

Thanks.

Very nice, Ondrej. Looks good.

Glad to see that the instructions were not TOO bad.

about step 13, the tip from the petal fold is left up. On the "back", the series of folds makes the petal folded point fold down. The only reason I said to fold it down on the other side is it makes flap allignment easier. It's almost natural for hte point to fold itself down, but I ended up making a step for it anyways.

It seems like you got the hang on it though.

not cleer step 18 - 20 I dont know how fold 24. Ok I finish it

.
But it look mess, maybe some diagram not clear much. In the final I create boar so it ok.

These steps are shown in the progress and from good angles, in my opinion. It is necessary to play a little bit with paper layers.

The step 24 is not clear, I agree. But if you folded previous steps, this one must be OK.

I didn't have any paper to free, so I skipped 24. It worked out fine, though. I'll post pictures later if I can fix some camera issues.

Actually, it is not loosening of the paper, but better to say rearranging of layers. I am looking forward to diagramming of this step, I must be very imaginative to describe it right and elegantly.

I found a problem:

Thats a preliminary base, not a bird base.

Haha, sorry, about that one. Wow, I feel a bit dumb for that one. I'll edit it, so I don't seem like a moron.

The free layers step (I think it was 24) ends up being a little like a sink. What you're basically doing is making a flap of paper that will cover up the color changed area beneath it, which you fold later in the model. Otherwise, if you color change the tucks, you will end up with a big white flap on the side of the body (ouch!). I used the term freeing up layers, because, when i folded that step, it seemed more like freeing layers, than sinking an inner corner, but it can be thought of that way too. There are a couple steps in there that I just had trouble describing. That section of steps (in which you perform the sink of the white point, and the freeing of the layers) can be done in a couple of other ways. This was just the way I did them.

Hope I helped clear up some questions.

This is a minor detail.

Thank you, zerobar, I have not such courage to call step 24 as a sink but, actually, it is the sink.

Hey, no problem. I was only trying to think of another way to described that fold. It is kind of a weird one.

It's a fantastic model. Not so easy to fold, but the result really worth it

I have always been wondering how such models could be created
