I'm attempting the Samurai Helmet beetle in OI2. Im using this kind of rice paper, its so awesome!

Thinner then double tissue, reverses like it was a genderless fold, is strong, completely made out of paper for the pure, and a joy to fold. It has very faint lines going both up and down it, and if you try to fold it too many times on the same crease, it will grow tired (but that was after about 200 attempts at collapsing a structure. Does anyone recognize this? Because I only have one roll, and I want to get more!

Sounds like the standard rolls that you can get in most art stores. Should be where the bamboo pens and hake brushes are.

Here is my latest fold, the tarantula by robert j lang (my favorite model to fold). There are lot of default in my fold like the abdomen but sorry, i'm not really professionnal. I fold it with tant papier. I don't know how i can fold better the tarantula, because each time the paper on the middle of the abdomen broke :/...

(ps : the cp under the model is not the good one, i know, but i didn't find the good pattern on theweb :/).

Thanx Robert J.lang for your book!

First, this is a very good fold, from the CP, and I congratulate you. Second, this is not the one from OI2, so I cant offer any exact advice on this cp, but if its close:

1. The abdomen should not be pleated, just spread the layers to get a 3-D shape.

2. Fold the bottom fangs? down, creating one pair of fangs.

3. The paper: Tant. Tant is a wonderful paper, great during the folding sequence. but this model might be suited better to thinner paper. Also, though it looks pretty well shaped, you could MC fold it or CMC fold it or even just wet fold it. This will allow you to shape it better.

Edit: Looking at Lang's fold, it does have the pleat. But still spread the layers to get a 3D shape

Just my one cents

question: why do you say opus 2?

The Average Folder · February 8th, 2011, 2:29 am

yes thats true, why?

All I can find on langs website is opus 233, and opus 406. I remember something about the diablo, but can't seem to remember...
