Welcom to Noboru Miyajima's world! His CP's are not difficult, but from the collapsed CP to the final model there can be 100 or more steps.

Wow... in that CP, I can see the hands and arms, but thats about it

diagrams are in tanteidan 5. For the face, you need to form a bird base and go from there.

I exactly understand to your feeling. It is usually no problem with colapsing of CP, but "final shaping". For instance me, I am technically oriented without any artistic feeling. It is impossible (MI 4, main character Ondrej Cibulka

) to do final shaping on box pleated colapsed CP for me. I tried Josiel's dwarf or several Takashi's models, but how to make hand from rectangle of harmonic-folded paper with tips -- really, I do not know. I am sure, that I am not alone, but nobody wants to help such people.

I personally am currently struggling to learn CPs. I've only ever folded two, a Lion and Luna Moth, but I'm getting learning...

ThatÂ´s not true, DaydreamerÂ´s writing a very detailed guide how to deal with such things right now. The first four parts are still published and heÂ´s very busy on writing the following parts.
Well and Wolf wrote some articles about exactly the same subject matter some time ago.

You can find the metioned help files here and here.

I know about that, it is really hard work!

But I do not mean collapsing, personaly I have no problems with collapsing. I am talking about "final shaping", i.e. how make from collapsed base (hill of crumpled paper

) any model -- hands, legs, head with special details etc. For instance Josiel's dwarf: how to make from square of paper with several layers body and face. For many people it is normal (Phil has excellent variation) but also for many people it is impossible without leading.
Anna, not collapsing but "final shaping" is the merit.

Yes, I don't have all that much trouble collapsing bases anymore, but getting the shaping is really difficult for me

Ondrej, you are (once again) not reading posts properly before replying.
Wolf's guide "From paper to Reality" that Anna linked to (another link here) explains how to come from a collapsed base to a finished model, so should be exactly what you are looking for...

Yes, that the ticket! That web has a little bit confusing structure, so I did not find it.

I think I might have figure out how to shape models now... I folded the base for Eric Joisel's dwarf and finished it later without any pictures. Probably just beginners luck
