@ aznmongoose - That step is a bit tricky indeed. But, the real fun is to figure it out by yourself ... because, that moment of enlightenment is just invaluable. ;)

In case you're not that insistent, have a look at the photo guide posted by perrosaurio (and it's here, in this very thread...) - it would be hard to explain it much better than that.

@aznmongoose If those pictures by perrosaurio aren't helping, i could post pictures that i took of those steps, and maybe that will help? Let me know if you are still having trouble on those steps. They way perrosaurio explained those steps is very clear.

Forgive me if I misunderstood your questions, but here is my interpretation: For the paper, I recommend using Tissue Foil, or some other thin paper. Kami is not recommended, as it can tear with relative ease. To make tissue foil, use the search function and search "tissue Foil". The recommended size of the paper is given in the book, though I quite often fold with paper smaller than the recommended size. I hope this answers your questions :)

Kraft paper is a nice paper, but I don't know how it would do for an Ancient Dragon. You can obtain it at Nicholas Terry's Website:

Can you buy online? If so, I recommend the kraft paper from http://www.origami-shop.com I use it for complex Kamiya models all the time, most notably my fold of Ryu Jin 2.1.

Yes, they ship worldwide.

Tissue paper is a very lightweight paper (between 10-35 gram per square meter). It is thin and a little bit translucent.
You can see an example here. (Yes they do ship worldwide as well.)

Some types of tissue (most stuff that you would buy in your standard art store) is so thin, that it can be a bit tough to fold with without tearing it. A good bit of advice is to treat it with MC, or make tissue-foil out of it. Or, if you need a really thin piece of paper, Tissue is the way to go :). There are many different types of tissue (of varying thickness), however, so.....:-k....
