Robert J. Lang - Roosevelt Elk

hard=fun therefore robert lang is very fun folding -maniacal laughter-

Most Lang is beyond me, but I enjoy the 3D closed back cockatoo on pp. 90-94 of Origami Animals !

I folded it with 30cm kraft as a draft, then 35cm tracing paper for a small gift. If i remember correctly, 70cm will give you a 25cm tall model.
Diagrams did exist once upon a time, and were freely available on the internet i believe. But now, the diagrams can't be freely distributed because the author, Lang, did not give permission.

If you have the BBC doco "between the folds' you can slow down the frame rate and use those diagrams. The diagram sequence is part of a montage

if you have the diagram then i imagine that its fine to keep yourself as long as you obtained it when it was legal

but as it is now illegal then i don't think you can share it

I will buy the movie just for this model but first i would like to know is there enough frames to get whole folding sequence correct?

Also anyone who wants to sell their copy of 2003 CDO convention book pm me please.

EDIT:For anyone interested You can get 2003 cdo book from cdo store,first You need to join CDo which is around 40 euro then the book itself is 10 euro,i think its a good price.

I would hate to be the cause of someone amputating any limbs. Diagrams for the Roosevelt Elk will be in the revised 2nd edition of Origami Design Secrets (along with assorted other new bits of goodness), hopefully in time for Tanteidan 2011 (August).

Has anyone used the diagram yet? If so can anyone help me understand step 12? I've tried it every way, but I just can't see it

[mixmastermarc16]

its a weird step, you actually have to flip the paper inside out toward the center of the model and using the lines shown, pleat. its doesnt make sense by looking at it but when you fold it it works itself out.

[lyon0100]

Well, I've gone through at least 25 sheets of paper trying to get step 12. I think I've finally got something close to how it should look in step 13, but can anyone verify, because it's been a very challenging fold for me...



Thanks for any help/advice

i really wish the diagrams for this model described the folding sequence for the references and not just show them as decimals, but i guess i could use ref finder to obtain a folding sequence, just seems like a pain in the @$$. i guess it makes me appreciate all the diagrams where robert actually describes how to get those crazy ref points (like the Varileg Scorpion from OI2). good luck!

[lyon0100]

all you have to do is take the length of your paper/70*each reference point to find the main points in the cp. for example if I had 40cm paper, the point x would be 40/70*x' (where x' is the reference point in the diagram.

[orislater]

but there is 7 different reference points

but there is 7 different reference points

And that's why, in this case, it's better to just measure and mark, than to try to find them all using ReferenceFinder or the equivalent. Finding all of those points by folding alone would cover the paper in extraneous creases and would be even more tedious than measuring and marking. (Trust me, I know whereof I speak.) ;o)
