I've tried folding this, its my first time trying to make something from a cp. It would be a huge help if some one with the knowlage to interpret this into easier understanding, a youtube vid or a step by step would be awsome. I havent seen a diagram or step by step anywhere else on the internet.

Welcome to the forum!
Okie, first things first. I don't think our members are allowed to draw diagrams for you. Secondly, I don't think Go has drawn diagrams for this piece yet, so we will have to wait for the time that he does... It would be possible for our members to make videograms for you
Though it is always great to aim high, this cp seems abit to hard for a first cp, unless you have a whole lot of experience under your belt. I think you should practice abit on easier cps first before going on to the more complex ones like this.
If you think that I sound harsh and mean in this post, please inform me as mean no harm.
On a lighter note, happy folding

There really is no difference between making diagrams or complete video instructions. Both things shouldn't be done without the creator's approval.

A video tutorial would be great, but why is it that your not allowed to post the diagram? is it copy righted?

Well, the biggest reason is that there is no diagram, just the CP.
In order for someone to post diagrams, they would have to make them, which not only takes an extremely long time and is very boring, but also requires Gustpath's permission to share them. Chances are he may decide to diagram it in the future, and if someone else does it first, he loses any reason he had to diagram it himself.
Also, copyright has nothing to do with being able to post it, if the artist chooses to make it free, then it is perfectly legal to link to it.

Strangely enough, it was my first CP too! It's not too hard to collapse, just do that and shape like hell.

I have trouble applying all the creases in the center (4 bird bases) because one is lost when the other is applied. Got anything to help me?Thanks in advance!

Ok I had a complete brain fart when I wrote my last comment and have fixed it. Now I need help with the wings . A cp for a wing with mountain/valley order would be enough.

See Swivel Fold construct.

That is the way I did it, but i thought it looked incorrect.... Now I feel really stupid (again ).

If you have trouble with the bird base in the center (4 bird bases) of the CP, try this. You don't pop them out like you would do in a normal bird base or a blintze base. Try to push them in and see if it collapses.
