Help with the crab

Post by AquaDragon »

I have the book Origami Sea Life, and decided to try out the Blue Crab. The problem is, I am stuck on Step 71, and stuck on how to pleat the legs (there are these wedges of paper between each pair of legs). Help forming these parts will be greatly appreciated.

Step 71 is just forming the eyes, not the legs. It looks like they are formed from leg-length flaps folded inside the model (although there is a mistake: while it says to valley fold, a mountain fold is drawn. From the next step it looks like it's a valley fold).

Hope this is not too much off topic, but I believe that http://www.bn.com has Origami Sea Life by Montroll for a special end of the year $3.50 USD, plus postage and tax. That's still a good price if you are interested in this book.

No way-$3.50??? That is probably the best deal I have ever heard. Besides those internet scams that promise you free Wiis and stuff like that.

It's true I ordered Origami Sea life from Barnes & Noble for about $8 dollars since there was shipping and handling of about $5 added to the book price of about $4.
