Here are the little aliens

oh

what's wrong with this model? i noticed briefly the picture, found it cool, searched for a cp or something but no link was working...

and now even the picture's gone...

real alien behaviour! one moment it's there, the next...

uff i would really like to have a little green alien like that... it was so cute.

Here they are: http://www.lsi.upc.es/~marc/Origami/model20.html

great! thanks!

bwahahahahah


finally i get my own pet alien!

haha they funny ones.

I gave them feet and thumbs

time passes by and i still don't have a pet alien...

i just get crazy on the diagram.
it's simple i know but for some reasons it doesn't work on me.


... does anybody have a cp?

Which step(s) do you have troubles with?

daydreamer!

ok steps 7-8.
they just don't work for me.
i used normal copy paper, workable size.
didn't want to use foil, too clay-like for a shiny result.

those steps are very simple to do but my fingers and my mind refuse to execute them, expecially after precreasing as in step 1.

i suppose the idea of shaping the legs like that goes against my idea of diagram, i find it a little absurd and somehow like free-form shaping, thing that i don't want to do cause the original looks so edgy.

i'm a lazy bad folder!

This step is an Elias stretch but unfortunately a little bit irritating drawn. Just ignore the little standing squares in the middle of the diagrams and follow page five of Gerwin's boxpleating guide 3 to see a detailed description on how to do this step. Do not follow this guide until the very end, but when you are on the innermost part just lay the legs flat next to each other (if you unfold now, you will see, that the small standing squares in the middle have formed themselves).
