Need help : eastern dragon by Seishi NISHIKAWA (OT6)

Post by Yannick GARDIN »

Hello everyone !
Can someone help me with step 12 of this dragon (diag in tanteidan 6) ?
I don't see how to arrange the layers ...
Thanks !

I don't understand any Japanese and have to admit that the diagrams are confusing on this part. Non the less I would just skip step 12, fold up the lower part from the petal fold you've done in step 11 and try to proceed from there. Maybe in a later step it will become clear how the layers have to be arranged, then you can still change it.

I believe you are just making a rabbit ear (double sided?) in the center there based on the creases. You can see part of the result of this in step 27.

Thanks.
I have succeeded in making something that looks correct, by re-arranging the flaps later.
It's true than the diag is confusing, but less than the dragon by Kenta NAKAMURA, in the same tanteidan !!

I'll try as soon as I can !!
I think I must use foil to fold it (many layers in the head).
