Satoshi Kamiya - Ryu Zin (CP)

[Harpseal]

Now i want to make it even more, although i'm going awesomely on iron man so i can't complain.

[kareshi]

My second 2.1!

[Bragethefolder98]

Really good, but you should try to curve the body into a cooler position

[kareshi]

Actually I like him this way. Besides, the paper's too thick for Kamiya-style 2.1 bending.

[Jonybb]

Wow, that looks great! I like the tail. What paper did you use?

[Baltorigamist]

That one looks awesome! I still have yet to fold it, though.

Thanks in Advance.

I'll take it guys.
First, I know there are over a thousand posts in this thread, and it's a big commitment to read it all, but it's gonna answer a lot of questions. So, set asides some time one day (or over multiple days) to go through it.
The basic answers are as follows:

1. There are no diagrams for Ryujin 1.2, 2.1, 3.1, or 3.5.

2. The crease patterns to 1.2 and 2.1 can be found on Kamiya's personal website. There is no online crease pattern for 3.1, but there are some bootleg 3.5 crease patterns out there. The only legal 3.5 crease pattern is inside Kamiya's book "World of Super Complex Origami."

3. Crease patterns are not easy to read, especially one like Ryujin. So it might be a good idea to get some experience in easier crease patterns, of which there are many all over flickr.

4. You can ask for help, but be prepared to expect the response "what have you tried? how far have you got on your own?" It's hard to describe parts of a dragon with hundreds of steps without some kind of ground to start on.

5. Some people offer help for a price, so I'm gonna leave that up to your ethics.

6. Break the crease pattern into small parts and make excerpts. Keep notes! Graph paper or a graph notebook is excellent help.

Good luck!

I'm hoping some1 can make Diagrams in Each part of the Ryujin 3.5 CP and break-it down meaning How are the SCALES Done also How are the Legs Made hanging out from the Scales and also Hows the HEAD Done PLEASE Some1 Must have done the Ryujin Please Just help share....

It'd be much appreciated Thanks in Advance.

Today is a great day for you to stop posting.

[Bragethefolder98]

kareshi is right! apperently you don't even have the book!

[Jonybb]

Yeah, buying the book will be a big step in anyone's quest for folding this model. The book also gives you tips on how to collapse the diamond-shaped transition units, how to collapse the basic box pleating, how to shape scales and a lot of other things. I was glad I bought it, it helped me alot, and my Ryu-Zin is almost done (it's sitting next to me, patiently waiting to be bended into shape).

this video gives many tips about shaping the head. thank you for uploading it!
and your ryu zin is folded just perfectly, when i've been watching it, i realised that my own will be a lot more messy

[kareshi]

I've got my eye on 3.5. I'm feeling much more confident now that I've got a couple 2.1's made! But I'm waiting on a friend from Japan who is sending me Kamiya's Super Complex book (he lives 5 minutes from Gallery Origami House!! So jealous!!)
