There is a mistake in the diagrams. See this thread

Hope this helps...

Hope to see those diagrams in any magazine soon...

i think it is vog paper

theres a book that has a diagram i think its called license to fold

Do you think 50 cm bond paper would work?

Im also trying to make 50 cm double tissue, although I am having some trouble. I guess i'll have to look at the MC thread for this.

I've folded it from 21cm paper that was somewhere in between bond paper and tracing paper, so it should work.

37 is a mountain fold. you are just precreasing.

i don't understand your problem with step 38.

Hi everyone
This is a pretty old topic so I hope some people are still working on the eagle and can help me

I'm working from the 2006 version apparently (from Licence to Fold) and I'm a bit stuck:

Step 58 looks fine for me, but in step 59 I am supposed to get an additional line of paper behind the left triangle starting from the base and ending just above point b.
I don't have this bit of paper and could not figure out where it comes from So I decided to carry on and see...

Until step 66 it's fine but then I get stuck again cause I'm supposed to find this left triangle in step 67...

Can anyone tell me where I messed up? Thanks !

^^^^
it sounds like you didn't do the collapse in step 58 correctly. make sure you raise point a. they will produce the triangles you are talking about.

Thanks for your answer bethnor, I'll check this as soon as I'm back home tonight. But it's strange, as steps 59 to 63 went perfectly well and point a seemed to be at the right place... I'll post a picture if I still don't get it

So I could not find out why I'm still stuck at this step... Here is what I get on step 58 (with a few more creases cause I've tried steps 60-63):



And this is what I get at step 59:



Should the two layers of paper (obtained at step 57 when folding the sheet in two) stick together all the time ?

Thanks for your support

that looks right. did you do it on both sides?

Not at first, cause it's not mentioned in the book

Edit: I finally got it ! But the book doesn't say you should do it on both sides
Thanks a lot for your help, I hope I won't bother you again for the next steps..

The model is symmetric, so if you do actions on one side then the same applies on the other side.
