I am trying to fold this design and im stuck on the sink in step 19, can anyone post a picture or link a video showing how to do this step.

actually im stuck at stage 30 or the diagram...
about step 19, im not sure how can i help you because i cant upload any photos or videos right now..sorry.
But you should keep trying .
Lang diagrams are sometimes more hard than his crease patterns...

Here's a photo diagram for step 19:



Here's what the model looks like after step 18.



Open up the flap on the right. The model won't lie flat from now on.



Here's what it looks like from the bottom. It shows you the inside of the model.



Hold the model at the tip ( where my thumb is in the picture ). Then slightly open up the model and unsink the whole thing: The long valley fold should become a mountain fold. You'll have to create one or two small new creases near the tip while doing this step. You should get something looking like the model in the picture.



Here's an inside view of the model. This is what it looks like after you unsink the previously mentioned part.



Push in the sides, like you did in step 15. You'll end up having a triangular flap. Fold this to the left.



This is how the model should look after step 19.

Hope that helped.

thank you so much, im making it for a friends birthday present so i was startin to freak out becasue i couldnt get past that step

Hey, I'm stuck at step 30 too. Have you figure it out yet? Can you please help?? Thanks

I just formed a swivel and spread squash on step 30. It makes it a lot easier.

How can you possibly be stuck here? It's just flipping the model over...

I read Washi's post, but still don't understand how to do step 30. Pictures would be great. Help is much appreciated!

lets play the "spot who is folding from a pirated copy of langs book" game

i have no idea how anyone could tell who is using that version. is that step blurry or something in the scan? btw how would you know chris? this is suspicious o.o

/me knows /

tell me please.

I own the book and agree this step is obscure even if you can read it clearly. Here's my shot at explaining it:


Robert Lang Butterfly, step 30 by cjbnc, on Flickr

Follow the link to my flickr page site for higher res, if needed.

I need help in step 65 - or maybe earlier, I'm not sure. I'm supposed to fold the middle point to "lie alongside the left point" but I cannot because it lies ABOVE he left point and can't get to its side. I must have made some mistake earlier - maybe on step 64? But I can't figure out what it was...

Maybe a picture of how the INNER FLAP should look would help me figure out what I did wrong?

Please help. Doing step 45-47 with foil was so difficult... I don't want it to go to waste...

Thanks

I kow this thread is pretty old, but I'd like to ask to:
adam: if he can kindly fix the link to the missing picture, because I think I am doing wrong the closed sink on stpe 19 too.
cjbnc: if he still has a picture of the previous step (previous in relation to the one shown in the first picture).
