Monthly CP Challenge: March 2014

[GrossMichael]

Since the february challenge was a draw between chesscuber and me we had to choose a CP for March. After a long facebook conversation we settled down to go with Gen Hagiwara's Labrador Retriever.
Here's the CP:

And here is Gen Hagiwara's fold:


The references are easy to figure out, but shaping will take you some time.
Good luck!

We didnt want the stand still to stop the March Challenge so we decided to call it a draw.
This model looked amazing to both of us so i hope you enjoy folding it

[Swapnil Das]

Piece of cake!

[Swapnil Das]

Are the red lines M or V?

[chesscuber98]

Mountains are Valleys and Valleys are Mountains
Its a challenge , figure it out yourself.

[Swapnil Das]

Thanks for the riddle, I figured it out.

Could someone post a picture of the base? I'm no good a cp's so I would like to see if I'm doing it right. Figured out the hind legs so far. And I'm guessing there is a crimp that makes the zigzag line around the neck/frontlegs?

[Swapnil Das]

Send me your email by private message. I've finished the base and can send you some pic's of it.

[Swapnil Das]

I can't shape the legs so well so I have to do a variation of it. Is it okay?

[GrossMichael]

Swapnil, you have to make the model to look as close to the original as you can.
Folded the model just for fun (out of judgement).

I don't know why but I couldn't get the neck and shoulders right .

i folded it a couple of months ago. would this fold be accepted? if not, then i am happy to do a refold
EDIT: the author has used some different method to fold this model. No matter how hard you try, you will never get the proportions look exactly like author's fold. better try your own method of shaping

I think one important point for this model is how we tile the CP based on those lines.
I test it out and find out that the proportions is correct.
But.. This is a challenge.. So it is better for you guys to discover yourselves. It's Fun!

[roodborst]

Ok. I figured out the base.. I think. I still have a question. Are the way the ears are formed in the cp. Or do have to find my own way? If they are I'm doing something wrong

Just a small hint the topic says its march 2013 but its 2014 imo

Thanks for the Info, I've corrected it on all posts. Very observant of you. It seems no one else noticed
