@Ari: The model will remain three dimensional after this step. It doesn't matter weather you make it convex or concave since it will be unfolded a few steps later non the less, but you will probably do more easy if you make the model hollow on the side facing towards you. And for the step itself, just crimp as shown.

@Djzard20: We can not help you without knowing what steps are troubling you.

What steps do you need help with? have you read through the rest of this thread because almost all of the tricky steps are covered in it.

@Djzard20

In step 53-57 you're essentially repeating what you did in steps 51-52 but on the front side. In step 54 you pull out the pleat and reverse the creases, then in step 56 you fold it back over. Then in step 58 you repeat the process like 5 more times on both sides.

my attempt with 50 cm banana paper:

though i wish i had tissue foil to shape it better and thinner

You might want to try using MC or water to shape it. I don't know about that kind of paper though: it may rip.

Tissue foil can be a good alternative to regular paper, but make sure that you have lots of practice both will TF, and with folding the model... Topsu is right - MC or water might help for the shaping

Technically, it seems like the wings are not done correctly. Those "pockets" on the wings' rearsides should not be there, that area should be flat. Supposely, the error occured in steps #189/190/191, possibly in combination with the problematic #185 earlier.

@ Didee : yeah i changed the wings, in the last steps, wanted to keep them open like this so they spread more

@insaneorigami&topsu: the paper is too think for water...i tried it on a part and it very nearly tore so i wont risk it anymore
thanks anyway

the paper was very good to work with...and its really thin and stiff. It isnt strong enough to hold itself up though.
