Not a diagram for one. :cry: A method for deigning my one one. Sorry if this sounds rude, but I have folded that platypus and it doesn't look so nice.

It doesn't really matter to me if it was a total fail. Can you please tell me how you did it?

Look at: http://www.anderkoo.com/events/dumpling2007/platypii

And maybe reverse engineer it, then add the details...

I suggest checking out Ryan Welsh's. His is pretty solid and has CP available: http://www.flickr.com/photos/25471088@N05/2524509124/

I am really bad at crease patterns. :cry: If you could give me some help on the crease pattern then I might be able to do it.

Endreon, when you upload your images to ImageShack, make sure you choose "Resize to 640X480 pixels". Afterwards take the "Direct Link" to the file and post it here. That's the same link you use right now just without the "th" in the end, but with the difference that then your pictures will be resized to the correct size. At the moment they are far too big.
