Satoshi Kamiya - Ryu Zin (CP)

Whoops, sorry about that. I guess I wasn't remembering that part of the CP correctly. Looking at my book, that leftmost crease should be mountain until it meets the first toe, then valley between the two toes, then mountain again.

Well, if you have the new book by Kamiya, I have good news.

I am meeting with a translator this thursday to get translation for the 3 page ryujin "how-to" section. If you are interested:

Ah thats great BrookHalten

i would be very interested, but i didnt purchase the book. (mostly because it's all in japanese) =

P.S. I still need help with the leg dorsal spines, if anyone can help =]

The dorsal spines are incorrect on your fold, ragnorax...

To be honest, the dorsal spines on the legs were by far the hardest part by far (with, of course, the exception of the neck/scales transition) for me. Unlike the rest of the dorsal spines, they have to be folded in such a way that you cannot put your finger inside the paper.

One might fold all the normal dorsal spines without precreasing, but the ones on the legs MUST BE PRECREASED

Yeah i have figured out how to fold the dorsal spines now (with help from a friend). I was trying to make it symmetrical but i figured out its not =P

I actually havent tested the transition from neck/scales yet... didnt really think about that.

Im actually still precreasing the scales.... so tedious >.< and i only work on it maybe a couple hours a week, so im not moving very fast.

Ah, I see.

And asymmetrical? My dorsal spines were very symmetrical... Different ways of folding, possibly...

@orislater

I ordered that complete DVD a few months ago. It's a nice breakdown of the ryuzin 3.5 CP, i must say. There are a couple errors on the CP he uses in the videos though

now that i've seen the official CP.

thanks for the reply ragnorax. Are the videos worth the 30$?

Ragnorax · Post by **Ragnorax** » October 5th, 2010, 5:04 am

Well it depends. It's just a video of him folding the model, its not a tutorial video. Its helped me though because you can see what order to collapse the parts in.

orislater · Post by **orislater** » October 5th, 2010, 7:22 pm

then im buying it. It's what i have trouble on (figuring out which parts to collapse)

Ragnorax · Post by **Ragnorax** » October 5th, 2010, 10:02 pm

Ok goodluck with folding ryuzin ^_^ i still havent gotten around to collapsing mine, even though i already precreased it =P

Wow.......... "good luck folding Ryuzin".... That should be in a comic.
I think they need a bit more than good luck.

i was folding 2.1 from 4 separate squares. i had the bottom left square almost collapsed! then i looked at it

there was a big rip right in the middle of the legs!!! i went into shock for a while...
