Dear all,

I have a problem on closing the shell. This is the step 18a, 18b and 19.

can you help?

Thanks,
George

You're basically forming the shape of the shell here.

18a- Here you line up the pleats to meet up at point 'X'. Model won't lie flat.

18b- Shows what the model wil look like on the outside.

19- Shows where point 'X' is. Here you'll tuck point 'O' into the pleat shown which will lock the model.

This was how I interpreted the diagram and it worked fine for me.

thanks for you advice.

here is my work.


I don't know how to close the shell.


Any advice?

Thanks,
George
