This model is brilliant! has anyone folded it yet?(OTM #126) I think I'm going to start today and while I don't forsee any problems, tips are always appreciated!

I haven't yet, but I'm excited to see your result...I'm estimating 14 to 16 inch paper to get a lifesize one...but I'd like to see what the actual ratio ends up being.

[mixmastermarc16]

me too, im thinking like at least 50cm paper to get a lifesize model.....i dont know what im going to use though, probably some test paper(tracing paper) for the first time through. wish me luck!

I started to fold this model. It is very difficult. Beware of its asymmetry and sinks!

[mixmastermarc16]

the odd sinks are driving me nuts, because its like "open sink" but most seem closed and the diagram just doesnt do it justice. but with a little perserverance you can figure it out....it just bums me out cause i was really excited to fold this model and its causing me some greif. oh well, i guess thats what practice is for....oh yeah.....definitely do this on BIG paper...good luck!

[mixmastermarc16]

so a bit of advice for those going to fold this model........BIG PAPER and i absolutley dont see how this would be possible without foil paper. im using paper that even with MC im not sure how its going to hold its shape. this model is really challenging....FOIL TISSUE....AHHH

I might take a stab at this today, but it looks very complex!

[mixmastermarc16]

any luck folding this model joshua? i had to put this model on hold until i get better paper because it just wont stay together without foil.....and im not stooping to glue or tape levels. i just wont do it.

[joshuaorigami]

Nope. I took a good look at the diagrams and they're to hard for me. Or at least i think it is...

[mixmastermarc16]

at least give it a shot......you cant improve unless you try! you can doi it goutam!

[joshuaorigami]

haha! ok, ok. I'll try this weekend.

[mixmastermarc16]

good for you. (secretly i just dont want to be the only one that couldnt finish this crazy model) misery loves company!

[orislater]

[joshuaorigami]

I failed. I gave it my best 'shot'.
