I've tried and tried, but I can't figure out how in the world to get a clean head/neck twist for 2.1. I just smushed the paper into place, but it ended up mopre like a 1/4 turn than a 1/2 turn. How do you guys do it?

When you fallow them make sure to start with

Hi. a few months ago I made a first attempt at the ryujin 3.5 using 40gsm tracing paper at 70x70cm size. it was very messy and required a little bit of cheating to hold it together (i sewed the spine shut). but i plan on making a much bigger and better version soon. sorry for bad photo quality

No offense buddy but thats like the messiest ryujin 3.5 ever... But I respect for your patience! I know that paper is small but check this one
Its folded from the same size..

SO anyway good luck with next one!

[l0lm4tt]

Next time it will be bigger. I will make it in two separate sheets of paper, with the longest edge being 1 metre long

1m? I'm using a 180cm sheet and wishing I had started larger. Mostly because of the scales though, so if you're not trying to shape them you might get away with 1m- if you are very skilled!

XD I have asked that so many times. The answer is local kraft papers. I dont know where you live, but if it's in europe, you can easily find papers. I use kraft paper from Michael's Arts and Crafts ( a chain store)

I used White "Natron" paper for my first ryujin 2.1. Regular kraft paper for my 2.0.
And Rice paper for my 2nd ryujin 2.1.
YOu can by this rice paper as mulberry or unryu...
OH not by the way thats not my ryujin.That ryujin is folded from Wax paper

[kareshi]

Here's my Ryujin 3.5 folding process- but first, I'll say this isn't necessarily the best way, or even the way I'll go for if I ever do this again! But it worked this time.
