Follow the arrows exactly and don't forget to rotate the model 180°.

i'm not exactly clear on what you're supposed to do on steps 52-53. do you just sink that part of the pleat? there seems to be valley/mountain fold lines that are flush with the top fo the body that i can't make out, and simply sinking the pleat doesn't give me the appearance of the underside that you see in step 55.

bump. i notice some people have folded his successfully. i'm still having trouble making out what exactly you're supposed to do at 52-53. i notice you have to do it again later, sort of.

If you look at the position of the mountain folds in step 53 you can see this is giving the new outline to the sail, so anything outside of this needs to be pushed inside. From memory I creased this first and started sinking, then the other ceases from step 52 sort of fell into place (with a little persuasion!)

Of course thats just my interpretaion of the diagram, it might not be as Shuki intended.

thanks, aces21. i figured it out ~ 2 hrs after i made my post (after coming back to the model ~ 4 months later!). i think kato intended steps 52-53 to be a continuation of the previous steps of pulling out the pleats to form the sail.
