Help with Lang's violist
Hi everybody, i'm new here. It's really a good forum! Well i found this in Mr Lang's page: http://langorigami.com/art/gallery/gall ... me=violist
and with its crease pattern here: http://langorigami.com/art/human/violist_cp.pdf
Lang said that this was a TreeMaker design in which the subject was partially symmetric, so the base is completely irregular. I found it cool for real! I just can't work it out by myself though i have tried to collapse the printed CP. I'm wondering where to start... at sea now. My english is not good enough, hope you could understand what i'm talking about thanks for reading my topic anyway!

Hello. Lang´s violinist is full diagramed at his book "The Complete Book of Origami". The crease patter on his site is not a violinist! It´s a violist!
Violinist and violists are different!
About folding from the pattern, sorry, I´m not good with it! But, a good start could be here
Eileen's Beginner's Guide to Crease Patterns.
Good luck with it!

I haven't folded it yet but there are two lines in this CP which are there only for reference reasons.
In the upper, middle part of the CP there are two dotted lines which are not to be folded. They are there only to show you that some lines of the CP are not exactly aligned.
Also with Lang's CPs you sometimes have 3 types of lines: mountains, valleys and unfolded lines, i.e. creases you make but that will actually remain unfolded in the finished model.
Those unfolded lines, displayed as thin grey lines, are sometimes very hard to distinguish from the thicker black mountain fold lines.

So long and keep folding ^_^

Hehe, since I didn't want to leave the collapsed base unused I played around a bit more and turned it into this cartoonish pirate I'm actually quite proud of
The model has everything a "true" pirate needs, some kinda sword (which would have been the viola bow), a wooden leg (where otherwise a second foot would be), and the best part in my opinion: a parrot sitting on the shoulder (instead of a viola)

Thank you Daydreamer, your picture does help me a lot! And i folded a model just the same as yours , which confirm me that it could be the right one! Things followed i think is to make it more alike a violist. Maybe i could find the solution in Lang's violinist diagram Thank you very much indeed!
