Satoshi Kamiya - Ryu Zin (CP)

[phillipcurl]

there is no diagrams. only a crease pattern.

There are no diagrams for any of the Ryujins. The CPs for 1.2 and 2.1 are on the internet--legally, I might add--but any diagrams/CP for 3.5 are illegal unless you buy the book "World Of Super-Complex Origami" by Satoshi himself.

actually, 3.5 has partial diagrams in that book.

I know about the partial diagrams (which makes me wish I could afford the book right now SO BAD!). I meant complete diagrams, because I figure the diagrams in WOSCO don't mean much unless you can collapse the CP. And the way I see it, if you can solve the CP, then diagrams really aren't that much of an issue.

[phillipcurl]

if you have experience shaping, then they aren't that much of an issue.
to me, someone who has barely had experience shaping anything except a few insects, a cp anymore than slight advanced would turn out bad

wish me luck... or better time and patience
there is next part being folded in background, just made 21(23) x 96 grid on it. it will be head part

[Harpseal]

(Wincing) sounds challenging!

[phillipcurl]

speaking of that, hows your ryujin coming harpseal?

[phillipcurl]

stupid slow internet. sorry about all these double posts guys.

[Jonybb]

Phillip, you made two double-posts. You may wanna fix that

[phillipcurl]

DAMMIT. I hate this stupid slow internet.
it posts like 20 times. thank you for telling me.

First, i just want to note that this is probably by far the most complicated diagram, and I am using taped-together (about 70 cm width). Should I first fold ryuzin 1.0, and then 2.0, and then the one with the scales because this is my second CP and I've never folded scales.

[phillipcurl]

I think you are speaking of 1.2 and 2.1
I definitely would recommend doing 1.2 first, if it is only your second crease pattern.

practice with some simpler scaled models before attempting ryujin 2.1 or 3.5, definitely, and practice a lot of box pleating. I will probably make 3.5 next year, once i get a lot of experience with scales and box pleating.

and since it is only your 2nd cp, then test the head area, it used a grid of 8.

Thanks, and just out of curiosity, if you made ryuzin with like a 5meter by 5 meter piece of paper, would it be easier to fold?
