you always make videos for me cris! :$ thanks a lot, that red scorpion looks greaT!

now cant do 114

ill need just more time to make it... i dont like the diagrams of mr lang, they are not clear at all!

hmm... could you show us a picture BEFORE doing step 112 from the whole central area?

Posted: **July 15th, 2009, 10:27 pm**

this is before doing 112 as you asked, and i'm showing how i do step 112... red goes por mountain and blue for valley. the black triangle is formed by two layers... also you can se the marks of the next step 113... hope im going fine. The arrow only show's the way im pulling and not where the corner ends

I'm kinda stuck on this model too, step 31 is annoying, i always end up wrinkling or ripping the paper trying to get the waterbomb base. Is there an easy way to do this?

Posted: **July 16th, 2009, 10:10 pm**

Both scorpions look awesome I am going to try teh model soon using this post and the book and sara adams video, all three should see me through thank you

Posted: **July 16th, 2009, 10:33 pm**

Is there an easy way to do this?

nope
try using bigger paper, that may do the job.

Posted: **July 16th, 2009, 11:48 pm**

that step didnt went to hard for me, maybe you should take a look at sara's video, she explains it really good, just precrease the mountains and valleys before trying to colapse
