Satoshi Kamiya - Ryu Zin (CP)

I have never made this model, but I would probably overlap two of the sheets then glue or MC them together. I would think that tape would create a weak spot, and the creases wouldnt hold very well over that section.

Here is my progress

Divided into parts

This is something I have been wondering for a long time:
How the heck do you collapse these constructs in the CP?

It's kinda hard to explain (I have done so many test folds of it and still can't really figure it out) whenever I do it, it takes a long time of fiddeling with it, but it eventally collapses. I have a couple photos that show the collapsing of it, but I want to make sure that it is ok with Kafar before I upload them, because they are his pics

P.S. I made a tiny ryu zin 2.1; it was print and folded

(ok ok, I didnt quite get the head or the scales, but I did do the pleats of the scales, as in the far left part of Starpartner's model) I'll try to get the progress-pics up soon

First you have to squash fold, and then closed sink, like in the pleats on the back of the Inoshishigami. If you have folded it once I think you can understand the process. ( I figured out that way, I don't know if there is an other process)

Could you take a picture of what the structure looks like?

Froy · Post by **Froy** » February 4th, 2009, 8:11 pm

I made a small photogide.

PM me your e-mail address.

Or, if there is no problem with autor rigths, I can upload it to my flickr.

Righty-o then, Froy!

Edit: Thank you, Froy! I got the photodiagrams. The construct was simpler than I expected!

Here are some progress pics that I took (I dont have the completed model pics yet)

With a little more collapsing.....

It looks pretty sloppy, and the head is a mess, but at least it is recognizeable!

now, time for the real thing........

Wow. Tiny.

I am planning on making Ryu-Zin 2.1 over the weekend. I am already making the paper. Hopefully the tissue foil is a good paper choice. I don't have anything bigger.

Wow, its really good for a small model Gj!

I've decided to leave the tissue foil for late. I'm switching to Kraft paper. I find the tissue foil a bit hard to work with.

Can anyone help with the collapsing of the claws?

insaneorigami · Post by **insaneorigami** » February 8th, 2009, 10:07 pm

The 2.1 claws? Well, it is kind of like collapsing the feet of SK's bahamut.

Here are some pics that I found a while ago for the claws on godzebu's photostream:

hope this helps! If it doesn't, check on godzebu's full photostream, he has loads of help

P.S. Thanks about the tiny ryu zin
