Ah...this model... I've made it several times but I always struggle with repeating steps 7-9 on the opposite side, backwards is difficult for me.

You know what I can't thank you enough, that is brilliant, I don't know whether i'm stupid or it's because i'm new to origami but the diagram I posted seems misleading or poorly presented. anyhoo THANKYOU so much.

I haven't folded it yet as I have just seen the vid but it seems so bloody obvious when you see someone fold it.

I really appreciate the help and effort, you're great but be warned I may be asking for your help yet again in the future. :wink:

Hello again, I have tried and I have tried again I keep trying and I can't do it, I don't understand what the folds are asking me to do, I think maybe I need to go back and learn about basic folds or something but I need to finish this model or I will explode.

Could you show me how to do it entirely then maybe point me in the direction of basic folds, or whatever I need, to be able to understand the instructions?

So far your instructional videos have been excellent and I have been able to fold the bloody thing like I invented it; once I realised what I was supposed to be doing. Please post a vid of the entire thing?

HELP PLEASE.......](*,)
