thx for you interest, unfortunately I'm working very hard for my job so I save a little time for my hobbies only at weekends...
I made all four sinks in the next steps then I stopped folding.

for sure I'll let you know my results!

origami_kid wrote:Ok in step 85-86 it says in the diagram "the middle layers will be sunk twice".
I have some problems here(and in step 76 it's the same thing).
After the first open sink do I do the next open sink and finalize it with a closed sink on the middle layers?
And do the 2 starting points in the middle layers become only 1 point due to the closed sink?
Can someone confirm what I said or is it wrong?

I have the same problem with this instruction...Idon't know if I'm doing correct or not.
It's like he said?

@nature boy

you just open sink the top, and then just sink the bottom exactly the same way you did the top, but you will be sinking a small part of the middle again because the 2 sinks intersect/overlap each other.

you really dont have to worry about the sinks being perfect, because you are just sinking the belly of the dragon, and its not really a visible part of the model (unless you are looking a it from underneath).

Well i hope these pictures help you... Not to discourage you or anything, but if you are already having trouble at step 38, then i cant imagine how you will be able to finish the dragon = you got over 200 more steps to go, and this isnt even a tricky part. Its 2 basic reverse folds, and then you open sink in step 40, and then you squash fold the center in step 42.

Also i hope you are using a sheet of at least 50cm or 20 inches square.

The description for the diagrams are very clear.

step 38 before

step 38 after

I'm at step 200 now.
I have to do that unfold but i really can't figure it how....I see the error I told you before in the hind legs, that double layer don't let me unfold.
Maybe I did errors around step 50.

The head is correct but the horns are really hard to shape, the paper is really thick here and I folded not very well this part, because all that inside reverse fold were not easy to reach.
Wings also seems to be ok..

Now I'm gonna start another one, hope it will go better because I did experience

What paper are you using ragnorax?

Ragnorax · Post by **Ragnorax** » July 12th, 2010, 7:50 pm

@ miyageeeee

You are not revere folding, nor mountain folding. It says repeat steps 49-56 on the remaining pleats. So you go back to step 49 and then do it again, on a larger scale.

@ orislater

I was using a small sheet of Tant. Its very thick

i would recommend another type of paper lol

@natureboy

You are undoing the pleat you made in like step 51, and then just mountain folding it behind.

You have this right?

Then you unfold the pleat, and fold it behind. You are going to do that for all the pleats. and your feet should look like this:

And then you do a series of revers folds to make the toes pointy:
