Can anyone give me a hand with the CP for Miyajima's giraffe? I (think I) can get the tail section, front legs seperately, and I've managed to make a few attempts at the head on a cut down piece (though just by muddling through the folds, not in any particular sequence), but I can't for the life of me work out how to go about making the thing as a whole.

Any help would be much appreciated, its been nagging at me for ages!

The CP is here:

Thanks guys,

im not much good with with cps, but looks like starting out by solving the front legs would shape the body, but then again i could be wrong that's just my opinion.

Once I figure out the correct references, I'll try to collapse it. If I succeed I'll make a short photo-diagram for you. It looks like a rather straight-forward CP, so I think I know how to collapse it.

Thanks, I'd be stupidly grateful if you could.

Hey, I made a few pictures of the collapsing process. Hope they help you out a bit. Let me know if anything is unclear.

How did you get the refs then? I want to fold this....

The intersection between the two diagonal creases is all you need to get the rest of the folds in place

Thanks, i'll try it.

It was very easy to collapse, but i need help on the shaping... Any tips?

Thanks Adam, I'll give this a try soon and let you know how it goes

Managed to collapse the base at alst witht he help of those pictures

Unfortunately I too am struggling witht the shaping, but one baby step at a time I guess. I'll enjoy fiddling with it for the next few months at least haha. Thanks Adam
