Great! 
Now all you have to do is wait for a couple of weeks, although, I should be able to get alot of work done on it in the next week. My school is going into concert preparation, so I don't think I will have that much homework, leaving the evening timeslot open for diagramming. Which is sort of a bitter-sweet situation, because it's free time, except its diagramming...
I don't really mind diagramming. it does take a long time, but it is still worth it. I have the patience.

Hi! It's been a long while since I've been active on here. I deleted my Dropbox years ago, so some things, like my Dragonfly Varileg guide, are lost to time. I may still have other things, though! Email me if you have any questions.

Page 3 of the Beetle diagrams are complete. Only a couple more steps, and we'll have a base!

Well, it's been a while since I have worked on the diagrams for the Beetle, but with reason, albeit stupid: I had completed page 3 of the diagrams, and then when I went back to it, I discovered that all but 2 steps of page 3 were gone. Disappointed, I stopped work on the diagrams , and I had not worked on them since. 
But recently, I finally got back to them.
So now, I have all the steps leading up to the base. So far the total step count is 42. And that's just the base! I still need to fold the Beetle again, to figure out a viable folding sequence to shape and complete the model. With the original (and so far, only) fold of the model, the shaping was very experimental, and forced. So, it may be a little while until the diagrams are fully completed.
EDIT: I have removed the link to the diagrams so that when they are done, it will be a surprise. Except it won't be surprising.

Thanks!
I was actually just looking for inconsistencies, and missing creases in the diagrams. I found a couple myself, and quickly fixed them.

Ftangdude, 3 little sidenotes I have for the moment till step 32 in your diagrams:
1. Between step 13 and 14, it says flip over but there isn't a "looped arrow" (dunno if this clear, the arrow between step 1 & 2 I mean)
2.Between step 14 and 15, I see in the diagrams that the paper is flipped over but there isn't a "looped arrow" (nor an indication of turning the paper over in text like you previously did)
3. In step 9 you make a diagonal crease, and the diagram indicates to not completely crease it, yet in step 17 you need to crease the whole diagonal to collapse. (step 17 indicates "existing creases" yet a part of that crease does not exist yet
)
Not sure about the third sidenote, think it's a matter of interpretation, since you swivel afterwards and don't actually need the whole diagonal crease.
Will fold further and see what more I can find
Edit: Finished base, haven't found anything except the 3 sidenotes I posted earlier.
