Yes, indeed, this snail looks really nice :)
And the CP looks rather easy .... but I stumpled across problems while trying to fold it.
The head/antennae are no problem at all, but I'm not sure on how to collapse the house of the snail (and where the tail comes from).
Would it be possible to get a CP with valley/mountain-folds assigned and maybe pictures of the collapsed base (before adding the final shapings).
Or even better.... diagrams :D

I might be wrong but isn't that one a bit more akin to a snail that took on a fast moving vehicle? :D Just joking, I probably wouldn't have gotten that far. :?

Vohinhlangtu, I like that design very much. The shell is very ingenious. Really cool!

I've experimented a bit more and finally reached this:

It still does not seem to be quite correct, and probably I'm totally wrong with it,
but... at least it looks like a snail :)

hmmm.... it would be nice if you kept to English language in this forum, because hardly anyone in here can speak Vietnamese. And if you have something private to say which you don't want other people to be able to read you can always use private messages...
