I recently finished the diagrams for my Collie, and now I need people to test them! Any volunteers to test the diagrams and find mistakes would be very much appreciated. If you are interested please reply below and I will PM you a link to the diagrams.
Hi, I would like to test your design, it doesn't look like it's going to take a long time, so it wouldn't disturb me from continuing to solve cps of other designs. By the way, happy new year!
I made it! I think that it's a very good design. The part where I got difficulties with was the collie's muzzle, but everything else was okay. The diagrams are detailed and I don't think that there are any mistakes. The only thing that I was disappointed with was its tail because it's a bit too long. But overall, it's very good! I enjoyed folding it and I think that you designed it quite well.

Thanks Augustus! I agree, the tail is a bit long, but it can be easily fixed with a crimp or two.
What part of the muzzle did you have difficulty with? How could I improve that part of the diagram to make it easier to follow?
I took about 10 minutes struggling to fold that part because my paper was too small. (I didn't have any paper left so I had to use a very small one.) But if I used a bigger one, I wouldn't have had any difficulties with it. Anyway, sorry for not being very precise for where I got difficulties with in the last post. You don't need to change your design.
No name of the model, the designer. No date (design, diagram). No paper type (ex. kami etc) or size. No level (intermediate I think). No ratio (2/3 for your collie).
No "step 1" ; "step 2" etc... or "way" to follow the diagram. I think it is important.
Step 1: valley or mountain folds are not indicated. The vertical diagonal valley fold continue after the square, at the bottom.
Step 5: the 2 arrows are maybe too high. It would be better if they went from the middles to the center of the square.
Step 7: arrows ' heads are too big, (I wondered "what is it?")
Steps 7 to 8 : no "turn over" arrow.
Step 10 then 11: name of the folds ? 11: it is a bit strange to have a lot of precreases and not for this step.
Steps 10 to 11: the bottom of the square disappear but there is no fold.
Step 12: there is no valley fold to fold in half the model. No arrows as at step 10
Step 14: Maybe you can write: valley fold for all the top layer.
For all the diagram : lots of people often read the instructions under the picture, you should write "repeat behind, fold and the fold".
Step 15: Name of the fold?
Steps 18 and 24 are not easy, I failed step 24.
Step 19: maybe you can precise the layer to fold
Step 34: name of the fold?
Step 35: maybe you can add the circle at the corner.
It is a wonderful model! Pretty well diagramed! It was a pleasure to fold it.
I hope it will help you.
