Anyone tried this?
You can search on flickr for picture; Tortulut has a pretty good one.
I'm a little confused on step 10 in the hand draw diagram. Can't seem to get something!
it feel like more is done on this step than what is shown ...

This model seems well suited for MC/wet folding method reason why I'd like to give it a try. Not to mention that it looks very nice.

I think that your confusion may be in how the diagrams are drawn.
After Step 7, go DOWN to Step 8, then read Right to Left. Sorry if you already figured that out.

If you precrease in Step 8, then simply fold up as indicated in Step 9, then you will get Step 10, which looks exactly like Step 7 (good reason for being confused ! .... you aren't the first

.

Then from Step 10, go DOWN to Step 11....

PLs post pix... Also, next time, pls post the link to the diagrams.

I did notice that. I took me some time though

This is actually the step 11 I'm having trouble with.
Otherwise, diagram can be found here

EDIT: I figured out step 11. It is a lot easier to do both side (symetrically) at the same time to get the model to collapse flat. I just finished the "base". For information, 12 doesn't lie flat, 13 will make it lie flat when squashing the nose. I took picture of the "base"

Left to do the shaping which I will certainly screw up.

EDIT bis : I just realized that i miss spelled "Neal". Moderator please fell free to rename the thread correctly... Sorry.
