Hi that's my last model

folded by me

great naabox!!!
what paper did you used?

I fold it too from kraft paper

I did the cp and collapsed it with no serious difficulties,however the division of the legs is a bit troublesome.
How did you arrange the legs simmetricly? can you show a photo from the front and from the bottom of the spider please?
one short leg is on the upper layer while the other is on the bottom and I am not sure how to bring them together ....

At the same time you were folding this, I think I were drawing the CP for this.

It is now available in my website:

Both jpg and ai format are available.

I tried folding this spider from the CP as it seems to be rather straightforward boxpleating (I'm a newbie at CPs though, so if you guys believe this one is too complex I am also interested in learning about simpler boxpleating CPs).

I managed to basically fold the spider, but essentially just punched the central part together by force (as a result the legs are much too short). I can see how the 4 corners are collapsed. Also that there is a central line that is 2/32ths wide and in the base the top 2 corners and bottom 2 corners go underneath that line. But what happens in the central area, respectively the parts between the two left and two right corners?

I tried understanding it from naabox' pictures, but I get lost between pictures 5 and 6.

Also: am I correct that the points at the center of the top and bottom make the two hind legs?

Thanks for any explanation that might make things clearer
