thx for your help it works fine, but 191 to 192 is also hard for me xD

could you pls post some pics for those steps?

@SYY99

Just fold along the indicated creases in step 191 and it should collapse nicely. Look at step 192 as a reference. Heres pictures to help illustrate though:

sorry it dont work for me xD (maybe it is because i failed too often at step 191)
could you pls open the wing a bit in your second picture? so i can see how it should look like inside

@SYY99 I took those pictures and finished the model a couple of days ago so i cant. Try making the mountain and valley folds as indicated and then collapse and flatten the wing and it should look like step 192. I dont know how else to explain sorry

@SYY99

Its kinda hard for me to see the the creases in your pictures but this is how it should be collapsed:

blue lines are mountain, and red/purple lines are valley

Compared to my picture. (**The part outlined in black is pulled out from behind**)

thx Ragnorax, i got the wings complete now

another question..

are the steps 132, 133 and 136-146 important? cause i always skip them. they look way too complicated for me

(or i just cant find the layers i need on my model >.<)

and at which step i can make the eyes? because mine dont got any eyes O.O

Glad i could help

Those steps "clean up" the horns so to say. I do them, but i guess they arent necessary, especially if your working with either thick or small sized sheet of paper where its hard to do them.

You make the eyes in step 248. Ive never gotten good details on the head yet so dont feel bad XD

hmm.. i´ve finished the ancient dragon but the claws look like sh!t

did i do the claws right? if not could you pls tell me how to make them right? (pictures would be great

)

@SYY99 congrats on finishing the model. you just need to do the claws. you can thin them out/sharpen them by making a series of reverse folds to thin the points. did you do steps 200-209 or so?
Maybe these pictures will help?:

I don't think anyone except SK or someone who put a hours of memorising work in could know how to fold a full Ancient Dragon off by heart.

SYY99 · Post by **SYY99** » May 30th, 2009, 12:34 pm

i´ve learned 95% of the dragon by heart

because i failed the dragon more than 30 times X)

@DaMaster If you're having trouble with certain steps, just let me know here and i can try to explain/help you with them and illustrate better with pictures.

*Note* You cant fold the ancient with my pictures alone. They can only help those who have the full diagrams in the book "Works of Satoshi Kamiya". There are about 130 photos but 275 steps to complete the ancient dragon
