Help please with steps 17-19, at me it is impossible to get 3 layers, there can be here mistake?

I assure you there's no mistake. Diagram is ok. I folded it several times without any problems. Analyze it one more time.

there are two tarantulas. one in the first and another in the second insects book!

Nope, there are three! There's one in "Complete" as well - I don't have the book handy, but I'm pretty sure that it's different from the ones in OI&TK and OI2.

So, Igor, which one are you trying to fold?

Excuse I at once should say, it in OI-2 large and very beautiful "тарантула". Already of 4-th time I fold but again at me 2 layers are received only.

Thanks by all, I could it make.

the hardest step in this model for me was the sink in step 36. I nearly got a nervous breakdown until I managed to get a clear sink.


Christian

If honourly it is easiest and bringing to me pleasure a step. I did not like such steps as 42 and 46. And certainly 18-19 not so easy steps.

The model was received from third time, I very much am pleased with it.

yes, Lang has makes some mistak on few steps diagram in insect book(s)

Hello, i've the same problem at 17-19 steps... maybe i've made a mistake in step 12 (i dont have sure). Could you please post some photos to see more clearly? Thanks

The hardest part for me was not to keep the top of the spider's head from ripping.

From the time I start folding the model, the top of the head gets a "+" like crease. That crease is then subjected to a constant barrage of folds, especially when I start performing the flap flipping and the sink/unsink.

By the time I start flattening the head and forming the pedipalps, I almost always find that portion in near ripping point (or already torn...)

Cupcake had specific problem some time before: he had only six legs... It should be the biggest problem, how to make eight legs if you have just six...
