I like that Whale!

The photo of the Iris is kind of huge, wider than my screen. Might be a bit easier to see it if you shrunk it down a bit.

The Hummingbird is nice. I'd say work on the proportions a bit if you can.
It might look better with the wings a bit larger in relation to the size of the head.

Yeah, the whales my favourite, made from a crane base, same with the hummingbird, but the iris is from a water bomb base. I'll fix the iris pic!

Sorry for double post, but would anyone want diagrams for any of these, because I'd like to try but I need motivation since it'd be my first.

i'm interested in the whale instructions!

Thanks, ok, I'll get on making them!

i'm really looking forward to that. don't mind the less replies - i know there are a lot of people waiting for new instructions to fold with ...

Yes I agree, the whale is the best of the three.

A suggestion for the iris: Flowers (irises in particular) are very three-dimensional; a profile view doesn't work very well unless it's extra realistic.

Another thing that might help is to look at some pictures before folding, to get the proportions and shaping right.

Good luck with your designing!

I'm looking forward to the whale diagrams too.

If it's possible could you diagram your hummingbird too!?

Sure do, I love the whale, although as hard as I may try, it never seems to look as good as the one in the picture.

Sorry for double post, but do you think I should make a video? Because I tried making rough diagrams but it's waaaaaaayy too difficult to understand, and if I make a video, someone more talented can make diagrams? Any ideas?

Yeah, I have trouble drawing diagrams too.
A video is a good idea. But there are obstacles there too, such as lighting, visibilty, etc.

So true, I'll do a video probably
