@smexhyz Its the exact same folds as in the previous steps... theres not much to it = just go back to step 49 then follow those same steps again.

@shass your welcome :D

@blackmamba

you are just reverse folding the creases that were made in 129-130

Then you did something wrong in steps 52-58... just go back and do exactly how it says... Im aT 69 and i rushed like a beginner at 100 ( i dont think i made any fold good :lol:) so i thought ill do the dragon .... But at 100 step somthing were wrong... Starting new life (paper) ..... :(This is my 3rd start! Maybe at 6th start ill make it :(

@smexhyz If you got to step 69 then you just repeat 65-67 again on that side... so go back to step 65 then follow those steps again, but mirror image.

but on a side note: if you are having this much trouble with the model, it might be too complex for you. Some of these steps are tricky but you still got over 200 more steps that have even trickier sinks and spreads to them =

it may help to fold easier models to increase experience with these types of diagrams and folds.

seriously, it's okay to come back to a model after you've gained more experience. the ancient dragon isn't even the most interesting of kamiya's models (though the final product is visually impressive).

notice the lag between when i posted for help with shuki kato's spinosaurus and when i eventually figured it out:

I made Doodle Bug, Spring into action , Magic ball , Man in hood , i aslo made 2 3D Swans and other hard origamis so i dont think its too hard... IF ill make it 1 time i will no how to make it again perfectly. I just don't speak english and dont understand that diagrams! I always done origami with videos. And yes... I saw after posted i have to repeat that :). I Just don't give up! That's true.... i didn't saw anything harder than ancient dragon... Because Maybe It Is the hardest origami ever. If i finish this i have the "license" that i "finish" all over origami (I wan to mean that i can do any origami)And nothing can make me stop making this dragon till i wont finish it . :wink:
