I'm not able to fold it right now, so I can't be sure, but it looks like he took the squash fold, un-squashed it, and then re-squashed it so that the top of the squash is pointed, as opposed to the flat top in the previous picture. I hope I wasn't too confusing, and one of the more regular posters can probably explain it better.

I folded this model a week ago, and I think step 37 was a squash fold.

It is easy for you to fold the model with CP at first try out.

p.s. I have redrawn the CP, but not knowing whether it is allowed to put the redrawn CP here, pm me if you need it.

Hey,
thanks for you replies, I agree plastgeek, I think a second different squash fold is done here but I can't get the a clean pointy end, and the picture is not very clear.

I will follow your advice helliluya and fold from CP to start with.
Just checked out your model, very very cool T-rex. Want to fold one even more now!!! Hope mine will be as neet as yours.

Thank you both for your help,

I'll let you know how my folding is going.

Hey,
Finished folding my T-Rex thanks to helliluya's great help (thanks again for that!) But I've had trouble with the lower jaw (my T'rex has a fangless bottom jaw!) on these steps to be precise:

Bassically, don't know what happens on the second picture. Can't seem to end up with the third picture.

Still working on it, but if anyone could help me with that, that would be great.

Thank you for your time,

Sebyfrog: Don't mention it

I got a lot of help when I joined this forum too.

I hope this would help.

You can just fold it from cp
