I quote a person who contactet me privately, but I can´t help because I´m on holiday and don´t have my book with me:

I am stuck on step 18 "Open-sink in and out." I tried sinking it, but it turns out pretty messy. I actually tried going through all of the steps even if I was doing it wrong. For step 24 "Reverse-fold the corner in and out on the existing creases" is this step folding the flap like you do in a lily? From then on, I got pretty lost. Thank you for reading my request. I understand if you do not have time to help me.

Here a hopefully helpful picture-guide for step 18:
18.1 Open the sink area by holding the model as shown and pulling the yellow-dotted flap to the right.
18.2 Form the creases as shown (mountain-yellow, valley-blue). All of them are existing creases, you only need to correct the direction.
18.3 Like this, continue flattening the model...
18.4 I always run into a problem collapsing the circled area. I'm not sure if it's due to paper thickness (Note: Lang uses approximately 0.0001g paper) or because of my inexact folding. It doesn't really matter though. Just flatten this part somehow, it won't affect the final model.
18.5 Finished. For practice repeat on 3 more flaps

So long and keep folding ^_^

you probably talk about the WYNDSTONE"marble" paper no?
if so it's an heavy paper frequently used for an wet-folding techn.
where buy it?i dont know but if i'm right the paper know as "ELEPHANT PAPER"(in france) look pretty much the same
and so on in france this paper it's not so difficult to find in art store
