Robert J. Lang - Hercules Beetle (Insects II)

Post by helikonia »

How is step 64 supposed to be done? I'm thinking that the triangle that's behind the flap should be brought in front of it while the flap is to be "hidden" behind the triangle. But how should this be done?"

Nothing happens to the white portion of the model, aka, the wing case. the only thing that moves is the colored flap. this must be hidden underneath the paper, requiring the model to be opened up slightly.

Hope this helps :D

I could really use some help on step 63. I just can't get anything that comes out any where near flat. Is it really that bulky? What do the layers look like in 68? I've managed to get closer to forcing it together after doing the sink in 64, but it just won't go together. Is there something I'm missing?

OK, I figured it out, I have to say, Lang really dropped the ball in this step. The small square you fold in the previous steps, each of tse (on each side of the shell) get squashed, and THEN the other folds will come together. I'll post a picture of a rear view of this step and it will greatly clarify details not shown in the the diagram.

how could step 63 be any more clear? its a complicated squash fold.....follow the collapse closely and pay attention to the crease orientation of the folds....and collapse.. no ball dropped.

Could someone please help me with steps 66-68 the protrusion on the right in step 69 looks different than mine when I fold it, pictures would be excellent, but simple written advice would be appreciated as well.

Thanks-
