Nop, they will by covered by the scales layer. ( if everthing lines up whit the grid at the end)

Orislater - you asked earlier what part of the model the dorsal scales come from.

You mentioned that you were folding 2.1, which does not have dorsal scales. You can add them if you want to, but.... ...When you fold the model, there with be excess pleats on the bottom of the scales. You use that area.

Im not sure if this has been asked but, with making the basic scale shape is it just a 90 degree pleat intersection?

Well done insaneorigami! and thankyou Orion for confirming the scales question

orion119net · Post by **orion119net** » February 26th, 2010, 4:15 pm

I never thought to try that, insane(folding half at a time). I'll be interested to see how that works out!

insaneorigami · Post by **insaneorigami** » February 26th, 2010, 7:15 pm

Eh, it would have worked out great, but I offset the entire head pre-creasing by two units to the right, and, once you make sharp creases on tracing paper (as shuki kato can confirm), "the rest is history." I'm going to wait a while before re-doing the top half, but I now know that I can collapse it from that size of paper.

Okay.. It's my first try on Ryu Zin (In Progress, a half almost done : ))
I am very impatient and didn't do test folds on claws ant the tail, just folded everything at once (of course some time ago i made scales test, to find the best way to collapse)
I had a nightmare with the claws.. collapsing the 1st leg i agonized too much that i thought to stop doing this.. But somehow i managed to collapse correctly, i got it, and the second leg was easier, and was more tidy-looking.
I use baking paper.
Some photos for your judgment =D

Oh it seems i resized them too much
Okay, here is another one:

(you can see how the paper worn out)

So, when will you shape the scales?

Anyways, it's looking pretty good.
