By the Way could you please comment please tell me how i could make my models better to make myself a better folder

It's awesome!

Thanks
first atempt
i used a paper like the ones in brochurs with gloss but about three times thinner it was way to thick and tore on the tail crimp but oh well

i dont think i made it clear but this is a collective gallery so post in your old and new models. I think some people got the impression that it was a personal gallery

Birds AND similar.. Here's some of my stuff.


My Microraptor design.


My Pteranodon design.


My White-headed Vulture design.


Cooper's Hawk designed by Seth Friedman


My Eastern great Egret design


My White-Bellied Swallow design.


Bald Eagle designed by John Montroll.

All models folded by me.

wow so many birds! in your archaeopteryx the wings look the wrong way round. if you could find a way to twist them it would really look good. as a dinosaur fanatic i can also say that the wings dont have to come out from the side. in Archaeopteryx the hand comes out of the side as youve done but the wing on both sides can be conected if you do a petal fold on the body and hiding the conectin making the body more rounded and thus obtaining a clean wing that comes FROM the body and with some shaping you could even manage feathers! The tail also is long and unnaturaly thin because it has feathers the feathers make a fan shape kinda like this http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=h ... s-27326378

These show skeletons if you try to copy that and then add grafts you will get a fine model;)

the skull is also very much like a velociraptor unlike your extremely brave attempt which forgives me looks a bit like a turkey

The link show skeletons if you try to copy that and then add grafts you will get a fine model;)

Thanks!
Also, it's not an Archaeopteryx, but a Microraptor.
The link you posted is broken. It just takes me to Google.
This was what i copied it from: http://www.skewsme.com/images/microraptor2b_c.jpg

sorry i realised halfway through and tried to change everything to microrapter the info ther is for a micro rapter heres the link once more

now i understand why it looked like that it was a n artists impression lol me here with 3 or 4 books on microrapter skeletons etc lol

Oh right, thanks
I'm not gonna change or refold it, because it's way to complex and if it goes wrong when i change it, then it's gone forever!
Here's the CP for it, just so you know how complex it is.

wow the folds are really crisp and sharp on all the birds . what paper did you use for the birds expecially kamiyas Little Bird and Seth Friedmans Coopers Hawk. By the way what was the bird on the bottom right as it was quite a good design or was it just another view of the coopers hawk?
