Hello!

Would someone be able to help me with this diagram: http://design.origami.free.fr/Sirgo/Dia ... ucardo.pdf

at step 42-43, please? I thought I was doing not too bad until I saw at step 43 after I folded down that piece, there was a mirror image of that piece on top.

How do I make that top piece? I'm also not sure what that squiggly symbol next to step 42 means? Is that scissors? I also don't know why at step 42, the tip seems to be forked. Perhaps I had made a mistake prior to this step??

I have not folded this model. But in step forty one (and alot of the steps befor it), do you see that arrow with a line through its tail? that mean to repeat the action. So you should repeat forty one (and anyother steps with that arrow) on the other side of the model. Thats where the fork comes from in 42. In step forty two, you want to fold both that front flap down, and one point. That is where the top part comes from. Hope that helps, I may fold this model and take pictures.....maybe not though.

Thanks Aznman. I tried it again and folded another 'ear' from the other side. I'll continue with this and see how it goes.

What is he saying in step 15? The last word couldn't be translated in the online translation I was using.

AND, what's happening in steps 14 & 15? It looked like a closed sink to me, but when I did that, Step 18 doesn't work - or my paper just looks different. Is step 15 clarifying step 14, or are those two separate folds? And if so, what's happening in step 14?

Step 14 looks like a spread sink to me. Step 15 is separate, you just bisect at all three corners of the area you just spread sinked.
