So, it's been four days, and I still haven't got very far xD just finished up the 48ths, hoping I'll finish the grid by the end of this week, if school allows it. This project is gonna be very interesting, I can already tell.

So far i've been doing it for about 12 hours- about 6 to precrease and six to collapse whole bottom half...I'm kinda slow... I probably won't sleep tomorrow cause I will try to shape all the scales on the next weekend...


As you can see long way there... XD

Only twelve hours? Nice! I will have the grid done by today or early tomorrow. I have the entire weekend to work on it. So far for my project (Recyclable art) I have:
-A ton of the metal bottle tabs to make whatever with
-The Icarus
-Possible a really well wet-folded dwarf or mask? Not sure about this one
-The ryujin
What do you guys think? Have any ideas for models or things to make out of recyclable materials?

I scrolled through the entire gallery-he's very talented- but didn't see any diagrams.

Dioramas; the ones he made from recyclable materials.

I'm done with 40 x 40 grid. I'm making the 80 grid now. If only I could take pictures!!!!!!!

Not sure why you need to see the progress yet; as I said, all I have is the grid. But anyways, here they are:

Sorry, I don't know any other way to upload images from my phone other than tinypic.com

In a different thread (Since it isn't on topic) I can post the banana dwarf if anybody's interested.
Anyway, I am probably going to start precreasing.
Just got done with the tail pre-creasing.

Edit: I was told the grid was 96x 96, and so I made that grid. Now I come to find out it is 98x 98. Now, since I have so much of the bottom half already precreased, I am going to have to make two cuts on each side and glue a strip of paper in-between to make up for the messed up grid.

[Jonybb]

you've counted wrongly then, the grid is indeed 96!

[Joe Ruperd]

I thought so too, but here's the problem: You know the two big crane folds in the legs? Well they should be 24 lines apart, but on mine they're 23. I am almost certain I did everything right, Ideas?

[Jonybb]

the toes are 24 units from each other, yes. So you've already precreased the paper? I guess you've made a mistake somewhere, that sucks. You could try to improvise some parts, otherwise I don't know

[Joe Ruperd]

I know. I don't know what I should do, because I already have the tail and the arms (Both) pre-creased. I suppose I just need to move everything over, but that really sucks because of all the extra creases. Is the Big /\ at the middle top seven creases down from the middle, and in the exact center vertically? that might be the problem.

[Jonybb]

thats unfortunate :/ I'd love to help, but I don't understand your description.

[Joe Ruperd]

Its fine, I will just have to figure it out myself, I just put a lot of time in today and don't even want to look at it anymore I spent so much time folding XD
