Help with Brian Chan Attack of the Kraken!!!
Hi everybody. Ive been reading the messages in this forum for a while, and ive decided to enter the discussión. I need some help with amazing Brian chan kraken. ive tried to collapse the cp but, even when the kraken section is somehow easy, the ship section, especially the sails section, its a bit far from my understanding.
Someone has folded it???

It's still 9ths... the CP is based on a 36x36 grid to be more exact.

From what I've heard you will get a bunch of pleated layers sticking out from the side of the ship after you have collapsed the ship. Those layers can be formed to all kinds of different stuff.

So long and keep folding ^_^

Excuse me, but ive already understood that part. In fact, I had somehow realized where are the reference points. My great problem is with the flap arrangment. I think the cp should collapse somehow like this:

But after the collapse i guess that the result looks like this:

I once tried it, and i fall in this mistake. Do you know where im wrong?
(about the images, forgive me, but they refused to work)

Actually, it turns out that this CP is not too difficult. The complete figure is, but the crease pattern is fairly easy once you know that you are working with 9ths.
As you may have noticed, there are 5 creases intersecting there, thus there are missing creases. (But they're small and not overly important. Just flatten the paper when you have those other 5 creases in, and it should happen naturally.)
For the two big sails, it's pretty obvious where they are. They develop the pleats automatically due to all the rabbit ear things going down the sides. Once you have it all collapsed you will notice that the sails are facing opposite directions, and you will have to perform a move similar to the head in David Brill's rhinoceros. This will involve making two valley folds, making the sail flaps considerably shorter. There are also a couple of other small sails.
I would post pictures, but I attempted to fold from a six inch square of origami paper. This piece is interesting, but not something I intend to fold again.
Good luck!
