Robert J. Lang - Butterfly (Insects and their Kin)
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.
if only dead people and you can read hex, how many can read hex
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.

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

Re: Robert J. Lang - Butterfly (Insects and their Kin)
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).
