Test folding diagrams

I'm currently working on diagrams for my Regal Crane. It is a model with a head, no beak; tail, two legs, two enlarged wings, epaulets and a crown. The diagrams will be finished within 30 days, but I need someone to test fold it before I release it to the public. Anyone want to help? I'm also open to improvement suggestions from the test folder, although I make no promises that I'll be able to actually make them (my design skills only go so far :( ).

So if anyone is willing please PM me with your preferred way of me giving you the diagrams. I'll send them to you as soon as I finish them.

Thanks in advance! :D I really appreciate the help, since no one in my area actually does origami at the level of the model, which I should mention is around high simple, low intermediate. Hardest fold is probably to pull out a layer and squash it back down symmetrically.

Again, thanks in advance!

I'll test it for you, I'm trying to get back into origami myself after my several month hiatus.
My contact info is over there -> somewhere.

erm... Where's "there"?
Thank you for helping me out, apparently I got through the first few steps (10, to be exact) on the wrong username on my mac computer, not that it matters because the computer crashed before I could save them. Point: Even if I had saved them, I wouldn't be able to use what I had, so I need to start over. I probably won't sleep tonight to get them done; after all I'm not even in high school yet and it's summer! lol :D

Again, thanks! (how do you want me to send you the diagrams?)

Just send 'em to me when you're done with them, I got time.
Send them to my email. Its the little mail envelope button under my name and post-count.

Okay, thanks a lot!
I'm trying to estimate the number of steps based on how I fold the model, and i'm thinking 62 steps, but the number may change. Probably no more than 70 steps.

Also I've changed my mind. I'll sleep tonight. Probably a good decision. If I can, tomorrow I should be able to recreate those 10 steps fairly rapidly and move on. Those 10 are the precreasing though, once I need to actually move shapes around I suspect this will become MUCH harder...

Also, I'm leaving for camp in about a week where I will be away for 2 weeks with no access to my files. I don't think I can finish the diagrams before then, so note that they will be done either early in the 30 days or late in the 30 days.

I'm sure I'll get it within the deadline though, so just await the diagram!
