What exactly does it mean to collapse after a CP?

could someone teach me how to with this viewtopic.php?t=3338

To collapse a CP simply means to fold the precreases of the crease pattern and form the basic shape of the model before adding additional modifications and details. As for the brahamut BL, use the pictures to help you.

Thanks but in the pictures he starts at the middle then goes to the tail (?)
I think and well It just starts over lapping would anyone be able to makea video on how to do that? Because my dragon's is folded but everything is still flat except for the wings that are but simply plopped up

itashiman,

Why do you open up a new topic if there is already an existing one? You're long enough member to know that such things are undesired on this Forum.
The only reaction on multiple topics is usually that the members get angry and demotivated to help.

Sorry. The rules with other forums are hard. I am now a part of two forms one owned by my aunt. If something went off topic she'd always leave harsh comments expecting so much from me and less from the others. My cousin got to be a mod and I was left in the dust so I tried to do everything correctly and she still didn't like it. Well here I don't want to be making mistakes. I'm only 13 turning 14 soon, and well I've been being put in the situation were everything is pointed at me and well everything is my fault


I never really get a "say" in anything and thats how life, is my dad would say. And yeah it's true. My parents love me to death. Sometime a bit too much. Origami is were I am safe. Violin is just more drama. and if violin wasn't enough, school is ready to run me over dead.

but I am still alive and I guess it's just a phase being the smart one in the school were they think it's horrible to be someone that is active in art and school. I'm going to work on this dragon for a while and well I think I am going to stay a way from the computer for at least 3 hours

Thank you

Yes, life can be hard some times.
You really don't want to know how mine is at the moment with my partner in life being in hospital since three weeks having had two surgeries and just got out of the intensive care unit this Monday.
OK, enough of that.

I wish you good luck with your project. The only way to learn how to fold from CPs is try try try. I'm sure you can complete it if you follow this rule.

I'm glad somebody understands. And im sorry.

Don't be too sorry of yourself itashiman, people may make mistakes and also feel that life is not what they may like it to be. All the advice I can give you about folding CPs is gain experience by folding what you are capable of folding, and learn more about folding CPs so you can understand how to fold the Brahamut BL!

Oh my...gosh! Its actually coming together and just one question. How do you get the body cause, i got the wings, tail, and, thats all but I'm sure that if i can get the body I could do the rest on my own YES!

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO HELPED. (AND HOPEFULLY WILL HELP)

Well, the legs will be formed in the middle of the cp when you colapse the wings, tail, and neck. If you folded the Ancient Dragon, you would know how to fold the toes of the legs. Hard to explain, just separate the small flaps, flatten them and.....hmmm, I can't describe it, accordian fold them and shape it.. Nevermind it, you will get it when you get there.

Well, here is my first attempt, it is clear that the wings need work:
