uhm...i beg to differ with you on the part of 'making a really crappy fold of something out of printer paper', though your concept is right.
printing paper is far too small to make a decent fold of anything, and you will likely get the sequence wrong if you do it with that. there is plenty of cheap, large, and nice papers for test folds. tissue paper, for example. get a few sheets (or one if the model is that complex) and paint some methylcellulose on it. 1000x better than using printer paper for a test fold. also, try your best on your test folds, don't do a 'crappy job' on it! that will always screw you over in the end.
