Unless I'm mistaken the beak was originally crimped, but the pinched beak looks better imo. Also the tail pleats went all the way yp but you curved the top. Very nice.

'>>583068
I see. Well, in fact, I couldn't tell about the beak because diagram is, as you said, rather blurry.
As for the tail's feathers, that's my habits (same with feathered wings).
Also, I folded the bottom of the wings as mountain folds instead of reverse folds...

Just noticed you omitted part 3 of step 43 (which makes the "collar" rounder), but the pattern from your paper really fit with the underneath layer (it makes a green oval spot!).';

I'd say it depends on your origami habits. I folded mine with 15 cm duo paper, but it ends up quite small (as per attached picture). A neck (or tail) length is around 3 cm, if it gives you an idea.';

'>>583430
TY, I'll probably try with something bigger as I tend to accidentally rip my kami when folding multiple layers';

For step 17, you have to extract the corner of the paper, which was folded in step 7. The rest of the model doesn't get changed (but it helps if you open the bottom part a bit when pulling that corner).';

'>>584636
Crimp fold is a combination of reverse folds.
So, for the top part and the bottom part, separately, you have to inside-reverse fold on the creases made in step 12; then, inside-reverse fold again, on the creases made in step 10.';

'>>584637
Thank you! Here's my sea serpent, it turned out kinda rough but it was still fun. Haven't decided what to try next...';

Nice job indeed!
For the next one, that's your choice of course, but if you want to directly use the experience you gained from that sea serpent, you could try folding the western dragon (which is like a sea dragon with legs).';

'Finally got some time to fold again...
That rat has the same ears as the pig, are they family-related?';

yeah, I'm not gonna lie those are misleading and uninformed instructions, you gotta figure out about 70% of it on your own and do a weird inside out kinda fold and the only other thing I'll add is pay attention to how it looks in step 18 and try to think about how it can match that shape from step 17.';

'>>591815
18 is basically 14 on the left side of the model.
To make it easier, one can fold 14, 15 16, and unfold back to 14; then fold 17 as 14 on the left, and assemble precreased folds to reach 18.';

'>>591815
And these instructions are not really misleading nor uninformed. They are a bit advanced, so maybe you need more experience to get it more easily?';

'>>591957
Indeed, there are some problems in your model:

- Left part of your picture (which is top part of the diagram) is wrong: it looks like a mistake from step 2.
Left and right corners (on the diagram) of the square are inside your model, when they should be outside. (They are the points that will be moved in step 8, number 1, and which are missing in your model).
You might want to check how to fold a "fish base", which is what you have on step 3.

- It seems you did two closed sinks for step 7, but these really are just open sinks. With closed sinks, you can't fold step 8 (number 1), as the flaps would be attached to the bottom part.

(Sorry, no picture to help right now, as I am not at home & have no paper at hand.)';

'>>591959
Alright, thank you. I've started out somewhat recently using one of the sites in the sticky, but I wanted to try the LFT book. Seems like I have a bit more to learn before I can fold these confidently.';

'>>591960
You should look for basic bases and model diagrams then,
Fish base, frog base, square / preliminary base, ...
Traditional models like the crane (tsuru), cicada, kabuto (samurai helmet), ...

Videos can help seeing folding techniques in action & their results, but folding only with videos won't help much with understanding diagrams.

And you can also ask here for help (or probably in a new topic if it is for a model not in MC&TCZ or not from Montroll).';

It depends on your experience, but at first, I'd recommend 15cmx15cm at least - and 20x20 or more for the latest models in the book.
The folds by OP (picutred on that cup) are from 15x15.
With a paper large enough, you can understand the folds more easily, and when you are familiar with the technics involved in the model, you can decrease the paper size.';

'>>602385
1. Focus only on the long vertical valley fold (cf. picture).
There will be annoying layers in the back, just don't mind them for now.

2. Next, insert a finger where indicated by the large arrow, and push gently the layers from inside, starting to form montain folds on the upper part.

3. Keep gently pushing, and with the other hand, control the mountain folds so that they align as expected.

4. And you are done (previously mentioned mountain folds are in blue; the red line should be on the center crease line or so).
Well, almost done, because you need to do the same on the right.

'>>602432
I assume step 36 is the problem. The blue line in each picture is the center line (I used another paper for the explanation and only folded the relevant parts to get a larger model for the pictures).

1., 2. From step 35, open the rabbit ear.

3. Refold on the long crease, going all the way up.

4., 5. Now for the tricky part: insert a finger where indicated by the arrow, and start folding along the (non-existent) green valley fold. See pictures 6, 7, 8 for the final position of the red part (perpendicular or so to the center line).

6. When that red part is placed as intended, keep it in place and flatten the rest of the layer (green mountain fold).
Then, repeat on the other side.

7., 8. Result.

As before, tell me if it isn't helpful. That step is not so hard to do, but not so easy to explain.';

A bit late, but pic related might help a bit.
First, squash the top part using creases of step 40; the bottom part of the model won't stay flat.
Then, use the existing crease marks shown (not very clearly) in step 41 to flatten the model again.
Pic related shows what creases to use, and bottom right part is a bottom biew of the model.';

Not the anon who asked, but it was a great help for me, so thank you!';

'Hey guys, I found it really usefull. Thanks alot.
Also, what kind of papet yall use? I dont think regular card or even notebook paper be the quality I expect.';

'>>611253
You can use regular letter paper to fold all models in OP book. Result may not be pretty but it is good and not costly for training.
Better paper like origami duo color paper is nice too.';

'>>611921.
Do not say what it is not, for simple models if any paper, but for all those in the book it must be a special paper, super thin and resistant to folding.';

'>>611923
If you think like that, maybe you need to practice more. All those models can be folded it regular printer paper; if you browse this thread; you'll see many models made from it.';

Pretty dragon you have there.
How small is it possible to fold this one?';

'>>613946
Depends on how thin your paper is, 15-20cm with 40-60gsm should be ok.';

'>>611924
Just because they can be folded with printer paper it doesn't mean you should do that.
Don't get me wrong, your model is fine but it would definitely look better if you used better paper. It doesn't even have to be expensive to look good: make and paint some double tissue';

'>>614074
First of all you've made a mistake on step 13. You shouldn't have triangle peeking out from top.';

'>>614074
Second, step 17 looks like this.';

wow, thank you for the info graphics, apricate it, i'll give it a shot.';

When i attempt it the paper just crumbles in my hands, i'm not sure if it's because of the paper (i did just try with regular notebook paper sheets) or if it's because of my motricity issues
Would heavier paper be better or worse for origami?';

'I managed to fold that snake, but I am not happy with the head and eyes. Definitely will try again to improve the result.';

'>>615977
>the paper just crumbles in my hands
Crumbled ? Is it too soft (or thin) ? To make that crane, I think any normal paper will just do. Try with photocopy paper.';

if you have the u-form of 52 and follow the mountain and valley folds in 53 you should come to 54 naturally';

Nice model! Is it your creation?
It could probably become an ambiance light if you insert a dim lighbulb.';

'>>619987
yeah, it isn't as good as i want it to be though.
i need to take my time with it.
i'll try the light too, probably an led or something like that (maybe a bigger model too)';
