josh if you've only actually folded the model twice, then the idea of diagramming it should not have even crossed your mind. you should spend more time refining the design by folding it many many times. for example, the praying mantis I had designed most recently, I had folded it countless times before I was even settled on a method to fold the legs. I know you're eager to diagram your stuff but you need to slow it down and focus more on quality over quantity.

that being said, you should probably work on getting better at drawing your CPs too because I can see quite a few places where the lines are off of where they should be :B

I don´t think so I think you should diagramm everything you want if it´s your first try or anything, if you decide that the diagrams were badly made or the model needs more work you can still do that any time you want.
Anyway it´s you who is doing the work with your models so do what you wish, for example I had never diagrammed anything and now I regret I have forgotten many of my creations, actually the one I miss the most is a modification of yoshizawa´s squid in which I added two extra legs and eyes to get 5 legs. Now I don´t remember how to make it so I´ll have to redisign it.
Anyway quantity will give you lots of experience and then quality could be the issue, anyway you´r young so you have time to work.
Just keep at it!

BluePaper: You have a point, though i'm still learning and i just want to diagram as much stuff as i can, and keep improving everytime. i did fold around 5 different variations of this but i folded this actual design twice. over time i will get better...

be careful josh, it seems you're returning to your bad ways again...

it's a very difficult fold, which explains the bad fold.
i'll re-fold it though.

Ring Tailed Lemur by Roman Diaz.
Very poor fold, i'll refold it soon.

I agree. Can use some work........

Yeah. I used a 20cm square....Explains the bad fold.

That explains it pretty well. How do you make large sheets of Tissue foil?

joshuaorigami · Post by **joshuaorigami** » September 18th, 2010, 6:06 pm

Yeah. Sara Adams has a video on how to make t-f.

PhillipORigami · Post by **PhillipORigami** » September 18th, 2010, 6:10 pm

I know, but how do you make sheets longer than the width of the foil? Because approx. 10 inches is not enough to make more complex models.
