I don't know about for folding ryuzin, but butcher paper is great for having large, cheap sheets of paper to noodle around with.

Wow! I never knew Butcher Paper was that good! In my country, it is quite waxy.

I finally decided to try ryu-zin 2.1 (and register on the forum at the same time, as it was this thread which made me want to try it

).

For the moment, I have test-folded the different parts of the CP, and before trying to fold the whole CP I have some questions :

-I have some troubles with the part linking the head and the scale pattern on the top of the sheet. I managed to find a valid crease assignement, but after folding it I find it messy and it doesn't stay well folded (even with wet-folding). Furthermore, I don't see how fold this part in the shaping of the model to have a nice and smooth transition between head and body. Could someone post a close picture of this part on the complete model ?

-I don't know what paper weight to use. I have high quality kraft paper ranging from to 64 to 125 g/m², and I don't know which is the best. (I intend to try with sheet size between 1m40 and 1m60).
For the moment my choice would be 72 g/m², as with this weight I can have 1m40x1m40 without gluing or pasting, would you recommend a different paper weight ?

The part where the head joins the body is kinda tricky. I usually ended up getting it 80% folded, then smashed the rest.

Also, the head will come out upside down. I think anermak posted a picture that shows how to turn it, though.

3.5, this is what I have and can't flaten the rest, any ideas?

I folded blue lines montain and yellow valley.

Froy, thank you for making pictures to folding Ryu Zin's 2.1 neck. And now it's my turn to help you. May be this could help you out figuring the CP.

Thanks Ghfzjxgcy for the picture.

I have tried to make ryujin 2,1 and I got some problems.
I dont know how to turn the head,
how to connect the parts,
and besides I used terrible paper so it just unfold itself if i leave it.
Please post any answers.

origami street racer · July 15th, 2009, 5:02 pm

I unfolded the area where the modle connected overlaped then fold where they over laped it works out good if the paper can hold its shape the head its kinda hard to explain arthur or kafar can tell you better than me.

p.s what kind of paper did you use?
