Any Pangolin

[HankSimon]

Are you gonna trust some Laser media company that links anteaters and quantum emission... Or Eric Joisel ?

Ok, I did some more research, and found this:
http://www.newworldencyclopedia.org/entry/Pangolin
So it looks like Eric Joisel chose the smallest

There's no way to be certain, but I'd bet good money that Joisel just eyeballed it. I don't think you need an equation.

I'll be sure to try that when my free time allows it!

Here's Pangolin 1.0 [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak- ... 3889_n.jpg[/img]
I'm gonna rearrange some of the pleats so that I get a thinner face, and see if I can fix another problem to make it all purdiful!! Also, The next ones will need better shaping strategies!!

[HankSimon]

That's bodacious ! Looks dry folded. Eric wet-folded, and not sure if he did something to get the right color.

When you finish with Pangolin 4.0 ( or Pangolin 10.0 ?), you might consider sending lots of pictures and maybe diagrams to Eric for his opinions.

I think he might be complimented.

I made all the creases dry, but then, once everything was in place, first I got just the un-shaped scales wet and let them dry between a cookie sheet and a drying rack held together with some large rubber bands. After it was dry, I then added some shaping creases, then I cracked out the yarn and tied up the thinger and soaked it, placed it on a drying rack an let it dry over an ac vent. I think next time I'll like wrap a paper towel under the yarn so the scales stay down and don't poof up!!

[HankSimon]

Could you experiment with this one - as practice for the next ones - and dry roll a small towel or washcloth, stuffed inside the model, spray it with a little water, mold it similar to Eric's model, then let it dry in the sun. You may need to flatten some scales with clothes pins or paperclips.

I think a little shaping will make this one look much better and give you ideas for the next versions...

Haha it definitely did inspire me for version 2 making the model!! It's a pangolin, not a star-nosed mole!! haha I'm relocating some scales to improve the head. It will take a bit before I can post completed pictures, cuz I hafta add sooo many precreases, and then do the crapload of pleats, and finally form the scales before the final shaping, etc.!!

[HankSimon]

I admire the persistence and patience.

Haha thanks!! What's even better is that where I have my study halls, there's a nice table where the teachers don't mind if I fold away!! Epic for when I need ta do most of it!!

[Lephantome92]

Haha when I'm not in study hall, I can't exactly manipulate a 4-foot square, so I'm making a baby pangolin during those times!!

That link looked good andssl!! Thanks!! I finished the scales for my baby pangolin, but I lost where I put it. Once I find it I'm gonna go through everything and make it look more pangolin-like!!

[HankSimon]

I said it wasn't supercomplex... In fact now it looks almost simple... after you spend about a year or two creating all the scales ... in the right scale and location....

Shoulda started with andssl's link... who knew ?

Hank, Eric Joisel's site was updated with many crease patterns of his creations
