I dont know. I looked for the CP on the net, and I couldn't find it.

Maybe its in a convention book or something. Its such a cool model!

I would like to do it too, but since the diagram is copyrighted, and nowhere is published we need to draw the pattern somehow from somewhere.
I found this video:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNMIl_2oA_o
The middle point is the hardest part, it is so blurred, but to estimate the proportion of the sides, is a work too

And i wonder if it is symmetric somehow..

Hmm, i got the sides somehow by dividing it into 10-10 but when i get the folds into the middle the paper rans out. And i can't figure out how is the middle, its so blurred

Edit:

i finally made it, but im not contented with the result got, the middle got too crumpled, and i didn't get the symmetric 10 angle, and the paper won't shrink from it self, maybe the model on the video is made with wet folding. But i think the sides of mine is correct.
Unfortunately my camera isn't at home (since 2 months

) but i will somehow make a pattern how i did it

Isn't that just the Flasher by Chris Palmer and Jeremy Shafer that's diagrammed in Robert Lang's Origami in Action?

Also, there is a simple flasher on youtube:

I made that video. I am connecting from a MAC which does not allow me to copy and paste the address of the image of the finished model but it is on my flickr gallery that is on the www link at the bottom of my message (search for tent).

The CP and collapsing method (not so the way to find the references, but they are not that difficult) are published on Chris' CD that can be ordered from http://www.shadowfolds.com

DO NOT WRITE TO ME REQUESTING THE CP! Chris is too good a guy to do this to him.
