Nicely done, Ragnorax. The lion looks very neatly folded

Finally I've also done two models from this very nice book.
As these are some of my favourite zoo animals the first model to fold was obviously the Ring tailed Lemur. I've chosen 32cm tissue foil for this model, maybe not the best decision. The head and body didn't turn out as I would have liked them to be and trying to fix that made it even worse. Non the less here is my finished result:

The second model I've done is the very pretty fox. A very straight forward fun folding sequence with every Crease referenced lead to a very nice model. It was my first time folding with Tant backcoated to tissue paper and although a bit thick I liked it. Folded from a 14cm square here is the finished model:

Having fun with origami essence, Daydreamer? Though most of the models look relatively simple, they have a certain charm that makes me want to fold them

.

They are all cleanly folded - well done.

EDIT: Anna, I don't see anything wrong with the lemur - it looks very nice to me

For the record, I would like to point out to all of you TANT naysayers that Ragnorax folded that lion out of TANT.

That adds even more merit to the lion since tant is usualli not that good for such complex models. Anyway congratullations (by the way I am a tant fan)

Another word on Tant: My 35 cm Tant feels a lot thicker than a 20 cm square cut from one of the big sheets. Maybe there is a big variation in what Tant can end up as? All my Tant feels different, but the separate sheets inside a packet all feel the same. Strange...

I cleaned up the folding sequence of a design made earlier, called the falling unicyclist:
