Re: bicycle Jason ku

How about step 106? I can't figure out how to fold bottom of the flap.

Re: Model for large thick sheet

This is certainly a good idea. Thanks.

Here's what I've got before final shapening. And that would be difficult because of thickness.

Model for large thick sheet

I have a 70cm sheet of reddish paper. The paper is very strong and quite thick. I'm looking for quite detailed model (large sheet) but without too many layers. Maybe something with tesselation in it. Suggestions?

Box Pleating Design Exercises?

Howdy fellow origamistas! I read lots of material about box pleating designs and would like to design something on my own. But at this stage I'm rather intimidated by the perspective. Does anyone have ideas about some simple stuff I could try to design? Maybe on a small grid first? Looking for a sha...

Re: Female Origami Models

Matsui Erika's Actress from CP Challenge in Tanteidan 136. The model is on the cover of the issue. I couldn't successfully collapse it though. Let me know if you can do it.

Re: Watercolour paper

I like canson paper. I usually steal it from my wife :) It can take reasonable amount of water in and is sturdy after drying. It's also available in lots of colors.

Re: Fold Precision

gordigami, jsu, is it possible for you to shoot a 45 sec video showing this in practice? E.g. I'm folding Komatsu's wolf and tried to figure out a step to do this. I don't understand your technique.

Re: Fold Precision

For anything really truly difficult I will just unfold, crease properly, and then refold everything back together. This is interesting. What do you mean unfold? Unfold almost to CP? What if reference is not available on all layers? I just watched one the other day from Jeremy Shafer who had Chris P...

Matsui Erika - Actress (CP Challenge Tanteidan 136)

Did anyone successfully fold Matsui Erika's Actress from CP Challenge in Tanteidan 136?

I have somehow collapsed the base but can't figure out folding sequence for the base yet. Are there any helpful hints in the text? Unfortunately I can't read Japanese.

F-22A Raptor - Aoki Ryo

I'm folding it right now from Tanteidan convention #14. I'm having troubles with steps 34-36. Any help?

PS I also can't read japanese, so if someone translates text on 34, 35 I would be really grateful.
