Works of Satoshi Kamiya folding order

Post by ginshun »

So far I have done the eagle ray, carnotaurus and pegasus. No real problems with any of them except for one goofy step in the eagle ray.
What comes next difficulty wise?
I have seen that splash! and the yellow bird are probably easier or equal to the ones i have done. Anybody who has folded a lot of these have an opinion of the order of the models in this book if ranked by difficulty?

I have folded all of the models and I would say that splash, yellow bird or coelophysis would come next. After that maybe the t-rex and the orca... Everyone is different though, what I find easy may not be easy for you and vice versa :)

The smilodon is not difficult except for one step.

there is no order. generally speaking, kamiya sequences are not difficult, just long winded.

I have done the yellow bird, that is pretty easy, I used to able to do them from the heart. With the coelophysis, I had a hard time. You must have some thin paper, that did the trick for me, after failing the model three times.
I also folded the divine boar once. It has a tricky collapse, but wasn't to hard if I remember correctly. You will need a big sheet of paper though.

Did through step 81 of the Coelophysis last night and it went well for the most part, I should have probably used a bigger piece of paper than what was suggested for my first attempt though (20cm). Assuming the back legs and shaping go like the rest of it, it should turn out fine.

I can do up to 18" paper with no trouble, I need to fine a bigger piece of glass to MC with though to go bigger. Any models that I should absolutely not try with 18" (~47cm) paper? Dragons would seem to be pretty daunting with smaller than suggested paper sizes.

Make all of them! If you get stuck, there's tons of help in "Diagrams and Crease Patterns." If the hard ones are really not going well, find bigger or better paper!
The Tyrannosaurus has a really fun folding sequence and I love the proportions and distribution of thickness in the final model.

people have done the dragon with < 25 cm. you will have difficulty with the finishing details.

the easiest way to get a large square for practice is to tape four pieces of kami together. the final result will not be suitable for display, but will allow you to get the gist.

18" is no problem for The dragons! My first folds were 19" tracing paper and they turned out great! I've also made an ancient dragon (remains larger than Bahamut) with a 5" square so it can certainly be done :mrgreen:

Satoshi's models don't have difficult folding sequences, just really long ones. It all depends on the patience you have. :wink:

I would say that by just going by how technical the folds are in the model are in general, the easiest three is Splash!, the Eagle Ray, and then the Chocobo (all in increasing order for hardness).

I folded it from 6" paper once, it's not too hard.

Anyway, I've folded everything except for Bahamut, Blue Whale, and Smilodon, and I agree with what's been said.
