I'm new + A question

[dj_silver]

Hi, I'm new at this page. I've been looking at this website and I found it very interesting and very educational

I'm a 21 year old boy from Argentina, whose interest in Origami it's newly born, so for now I'm trying different designs and I'm not focus in anything.

I founded out a design (http://www.josephwu.com/Files/PDF/chess.pdf) of chess figures. It really catch my attention because I really like the form of the pieces, they are very nice.

In case you don't know it, the pieces are made all from the same base pattern. So you start 4 steps and you continue form there until step 10 and then to 12. From step 4 you start the knight and the rook. From step 10 you start the pawn and the king and from step 12 you start bishop and queen.

The problem that I have is that between step 5 and 7 there isn't a 6, so I don't know if it's missing or something, because I can't pass from there. I supposed to do the "minor miracle" fold, but I don't know how to do it.

Finally my question. Could you explain me how to do the "minor miracle" (with a diagram if possible)? Or, could you tell my if this especial folding has another name, because I tried to look it up on the net, but I didn't find it.

Thanks for reading all this

And special thanks if you can answer me

Hey dj_silver welcome to the forum. I think the lack of a step 6 is just a misprint. You just need to do a rabbit ear on the front and back. Then to get from 7 to 8, rotate the flaps and then rabbit ear the two remaining flaps. That should get you to step 9. Good luck!

The minor miracle is something of an inside joke. It means that if your model has a few flaps arranged like the pages of a book, flip one flap on the right to the left - just as though you turn one page of the book. Then, turn the model over, and repeat the "flap turning".

Ok guys. You been a great help. I'll try it and the next time I'll tell you how good (let's hope so) or bad was the result

Thanks
