think of it as a puzzle

I will give you a hint

The diagional line extending across the face of each unit of the leaf units will when assembled form a triangle.

And the diagionals on the petals will radiate out of the center, look at my post if you want to see a visual picture.

its seems, i am not smart enough for this..

i have done 2 pics with my webcam
1. pic. is the backview of the 2 units (petal and leaf)
2. pic is the frontview of the same u units..
i have added some description for the corners and flaps..
it would be great if you (or someone else) could explain it to me exacly..

First assemble the leaves

take 3 leave modules, the B1 flap will extend behind

I am going go fold on, and then I will get back to you ok

i will create some diagrams for building the 2 modules and for the assembling now - because i cant understand why nobody has done this before (i dont know why valerie vann dont published diagrams, but the time has come for them now... )

i think i am finished in about a week (had some other things to do also...

The MRC has been fully diagrammed twice - in the Japanese NOA magazine a few years ago and this year in the February edition of the BOS magazine.

Michael Lafosse also brought out a video featuring directions for folding the MRC and some other Valerie Vann models.
