[Free Diagram] The Ostentatious Crane

! · Post by ! » July 4th, 2009, 10:48 pm

Hey, I've drawn up my first set of diagrams, for the Ostentatious Crane (Also my first real original design)

Diagrams available from here: http://joeslote.com/documents/ostcrane.pdf

If you guys find errors, please mention them, I've already found one, and plan to release a final version.

Known Errors:

Apologize and Generally in the description
Step 16: only go back to step 13 (not step 10); what drug was I on!?
Step 1: It's a blintzed bird base, not just a bird base
After step 34, it helps to do another thinning reverse fold in the other direction on the bit of paper you just reverse-folded.

cool, thanks great job on the diagrams. I was looking forward to trying out this model

just a quick question tho... What is the bird base in step 1 that you are referreing to? Because the bird base that ive always been familiar with is this one: http://www.origami-instructions.com/ori ... -base.html

Haha...ya that's not a bird base, but a blintzed one

Sorry! The first 8 steps of this is what I meant: http://www.barf.cc/nuccrane.pdf

OK i just finished folding your model Joe

Folded from printer paper -- becomes very thick in the middle just so people know.

About the diagrams: I find them quite amusing ^_^ lol but i also found them a little confusing at times, when it wasnt too clear what to do. such as step 9, 14, and 16

i know this is just a quick draw of the diagrams but good work!

Hey thanks guys for all the responses,

@Ragnorax: Hey cool, glad you liked it. Made me realize I forgot another step. After step 34, it helps to do another thinning reverse fold on the bit of paper you just reverse-folded. Thanks for trying it out! Is there a name for the operation done in step 9? Step 14, maybe I'll call it a pocket. Step 16 is plain wrong, just go back to Step 13.

@Legionzilla: That is quite odd...I don't think it'll open in the browser window; you have to download then open in adobe pdf reader

No, the file is broken, at least that what the browser says!!! Anyway, Zoraz, well done!!!

Hope you dont mind Joe, but i made a mirror link to download your diagrams because it seems there may be a problem for some with the link you provided.

Search "ostentatious crane" on Google, and you should find Joe's Deviant Art site with the diagram.
