The Origami Forum

Hi people, I am having trouble with step 129-130. I am able to complete the step correctly (I think) but the right side of the model does not lie flat and I cannot see how to resolve the issue without attempting some sort of complicated "unsink" that is not mentioned in the instructions....... any h...

I appreciate the responses. I don't quite see how it could be a closed sink. It is more of a swivel fold with a squash to get from 54 to 55. I have added a video which might make things clearer.

Ha! I wish.

Hello folks, I have been enjoying folding the Gigantosaurus (from Nature Study), I am using 36" x 36" tracing paper treated with MC. I have gotten stuck on step 55. It says "Wrap the paper to the front" but I cannot figure out a way to do this. I'm not sure if I messed up somehow earlier in the proc...

Also... I don't read Japanese, so it's possible that there is important information that I'm missing.

Hi all, I am struggling with the 3-headed dragon by Keiichi Kozasa from Tanteidan Convention #5. I have made it to step 100 pretty much fine (although I think I made a small mistake on the feet) but I am stuck on the wings. the instructions are NOT VERY CLEAR@!@**%%!#! Lots of steps missing... https...

Wow, that is really impressive. I wonder about the process...

These were done by hand, no tweezers. They are sitting on a USA quarter. End result is under 2cm wingspan. Just regular boring old printer paper.

Hi everyone, I was thinking it might be nice to start a thread about small origami. Best kinds of tweezers, best kinds of paper, etc... Also, maybe include images of models you are proud of or things you are struggling with, etc... Here is one I folded from a 25mm square of tissue paper, without twe...

This is my smallest crane yet. First attempt at folding something (almost) entirely with tweezers. I looked around a little bit, but I didn't see a thread dedicated to small models, did I miss it? That is a US penny underneath for scale. The wingspan is about 2.5cm

A fair success I'd say:



Thank you everyone!

Thank you DavidW and others for help with the language and the folding! Another quick request, if anyone could help with translation from the Japanese here: https://imgur.com/a/hXEw6 I sort of blundered through last time and it all worked out... but I don't know the reference points. I can see from ...

Thank you everyone for you help! I believed I had understood the second part (107-108) although the photos franz posted look different, so I will double check. I have figured out the issue I was having with steps 98-99. The issue was (of course #-o) with step 97. I made a simple mountain and valley ...

Hello, I have done pretty well so far on this model (Llama or "Lama" from Tanteidan 19 by Fumiakai Kawahata), but I am getting stuck on step 99/100. The diagram does not seem to QUITE match any perspective on the model. I also can't read Japanese, so that may be contributing to my confusion (though ...
