The Origami Forum

Would this pattern HERE be a good starter cp since i have never tried one before?

If you have some origami experience, yes.
If you have little to none, no.
Basically, Eileen's Cp needs limited detailing, but still, if you have little experience on touching up cps, pick an easier piece instead. For example, my starter cp was Eileen's norse giant (look at her original site). As you gain more experience, you may want to proceed to box-pleated cps such as mikiller's knight (his gallery) or maybe a more complex cp such as Manuel Sirgo's maqaue. As you gain even more experience, go try Ryujin 2.1 by Kamiya (his site) and Shiki Kato's Zoanoid dragon(his flickr)!!!
Good luck folding!!!
BTW, Welcome to the Origami Forum!!!

thanks for the fast reply

now when u say eileen (pardon my lack of knowledge here) but did you mean eileen tan? and if so do u mean THIS cp to start with?

Yes it is
I find that it is an easy design and it was the first cp I did, after all, it makes use of the most easy 22.5 degree modules.
Anyway, I'm a Eileen Tan fan!

The CP looks very doable as first CP since the model doesn't need to much shaping and the base is rather easy.

cheers guys will let u know how i get on

well had a bad couple of weeks with work but i'm determined to get this cp business on the go, been doing alot of reading on cp usage.
now i need to raid the printer paper to practice the bases etc before trying the model with tissue paper?
as for the paper itself only stuff i have ever used is coloured 1 side and white on the other, any uk places to visit for some nice paper?
