Hi, how are you doing?

I was trying to fold a earwig from a cp that i've found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/aznfolds/1 ... otostream/, so i think i manege in colapsing it, but now i have no idea of what to do, and i don't no if my base is corectely folded ( you know, i'm like new with cps).

And i was doing this wast too(http://www.pajarita.org/aep/nacionales/espa14-3.pdf) , i could do it up to the step i need to do it head, i couldn't do it.

So if you cold help me with some photos...

Thank you very much

p.s.: Sory for not puting the links, i don't know how to do it!!!

You included a comma in the URL for the earwig cp so it doesn't work if you just click on it. The URL works if you remove the comma...

Hi, this is acttualy my design.

I am sorry, but I am out of town, and so i do not have my computer. I can tell you the fllap arrangement though.

Top middle: these two points are the mandibles. these get crimped, so as to shorten them.
Top, extream left and right: these are the antenna.
The next six points (three on each side): these are the legs.
The flap in the middle of the paper: this is the abdomen, this part is kinda hard to collapse.
The middle bottom: these are the pinchers.

I should tell you that this was my first design and it is quite bad. This was before I new about things like rivers...


Wit this flap arrangement, you should be able to fold the modle. I will not be back at my house for another week or so, possibly two, so i will not be able to get you pictures of the base (if I even have them... )

Hope that helps.

i realy like your model, so, i will try to fold it, if i can't i come back here in a cuple of weeks and ask you some more information.
